We combine mechanistic and non-mechanistic approaches in the analysis of the function and evolution of organisms, their subagents, and multi-organism systems, and in this way offer a theoretical platform for integrating biosemiotics with both natural science and the humanities/social sciences. Agents are autonomous systems that incorporate knowledge on how to make sense of their environment and use it to achieve their goals. The functions of all agents are supported by mechanisms at the lowest level; however, the explanatory power of mechanistic analysis is not sufficient for complex agents. Non-mechanistic methods rely on the goal-directedness of agents whose dynamics follow self-stabilized dynamic attractors. The properties of attractors depend on stable or slowly changing factors, and such dependencies can be interpreted as sign relations if they are adaptive in nature. Agents can replace or redirect mechanisms on demand in order to preserve their funct | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Semiotic agency; Biosemiotics; Knowledge and learning; Adaptation and Evolution; Phenomenology; Enactivis | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89484-9 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-89486-3 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-89484-9Series ISSN 1875-4651 Series E-ISSN 1875-466X | issn_series | 1875-4651 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
