What’s in the name?
Semiosis is the production of meaning through signs, or a process in which a sign has a cognitive effect on its interpreter.
Defined as something which stands to an observer for something, a sign is constituted by whatever distinguishes it from other signs. It is this difference in relation and reference to other things that defines things; their most precise characteristic is in being what the others are not. It is differences that carry meaning, because perception operates only upon difference.
A white circle on a white background is nothing; it is color and shape that distinguish it from the background. The sound of a word alone is nothing; it is the phonic differences distinguishing it from other words that matter.
Communication is the process of creating meanings and connecting them to one another. It arises through a synthesis of information, signs carrying this information, and interpretation of information and signs. Our relations to the world, to one another, and to ourselves are always grounded in and mediated by communication.
Organizations are characterized and delimited from the environment by communication, rather than by actions, which are created only within a network of communication.
