The Lower Threshold as a Unifying Principle between Code Biology and Biosemiotics

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Whether we emphasize the notion of &apos;sign&apos; or the notion of &apos;code&apos;, either way the main interest of biosemiotics and Code Biology is the same, and we argue that the idea of the lower threshold is what still unifies these two groups. Code Biology concentrates on the notion of code: living organisms are defined as code-users or codemakers, and so it may be called the &apos;lower coding threshold&apos; in this case. The semiotic threshold on the other hand is a concept without a specific definition. There are many possible ways of understanding this term. In order to maintain the lower threshold as the unifying concept between Code Biology and biosemiotics, it is important to be very clear about where this threshold is located and how it is defined. We focus on establishing the lower semiotic threshold at protein biosynthesis, and we propose basing the semiotic understanding of the lowest life forms on the following criteria: arbitrariness, representation, repetition, historicity and self-replication. We also offer that this definition of the lower threshold need not include the notion of interpretation, in the hope that this newly specified common principle of the lower threshold be accepted as a way forward in the conversation between Code Biology and biosemiotics.
