Toward a biosemiotics framework for AI: Folding and the dynamics of meaning.
This paper is dedicated to the intersections between folding and semiotics, serving as a meta-commentary on Howard Pattee's "Symbol grounding precedes interpretation" (2021), a response to Terrence Deacon's work, that was further elaborated in 2023.

Framed within a context of recursive self-reflection, the paper scrutinizes folding as a fundamental semiotic activity and elementary semiotic modelling, drawing connections to Pattee's proposition regarding protein folding as a precursor to semiosis and interpretation. Central to this discourse is the assertion that folding serves not only as a foundational prerequisite for semiosis but also as a potent modelling system. Through a multidisciplinary lens, the paper elucidates how folding manifests as a modelling mechanism across diverse domains from biology to syntax. Notably, the paper proposes an application of folding principles in AI. By navigating the framework of folding as semiotic modelling, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the foundational mechanisms of signification and interpretation in semiotic systems. Cet article se consacre aux intersections entre repliement et sémiotique, servant de métacommentaire au discours de Howard Pattee en réponse à l'ouvrage de Terrence Deacon intitulé « Symbol Grounding Precedes Interpretation » (2021), approfondi en 2023. S'inscrivant dans un contexte d'autoréflexion récursive, l'article examine le repliement comme activité sémiotique fondamentale et modélisation sémiotique élémentaire, établissant des liens avec la proposition de Pattee concernant le repliement des protéines comme précurseur de la sémiose et de l'interprétation. Au coeur de ce discours se trouve l'affirmation selon laquelle le repliement constitue non seulement un prérequis fondamental à la sémiose, mais aussi un puissant système de modélisation. À travers une perspective multidisciplinaire, l'article explique comment le repliement se manifeste comme mécanisme de modélisation dans divers domaines, de la biologie à la syntaxe. Il propose notamment une application des principes du repliement à l'IA. En naviguant dans le cadre du repliement en tant que modélisation sémiotique, cet article contribue à une compréhension plus approfondie des mécanismes fondamentaux de la signification et de l'interprétation dans les systèmes sémiotiques. Artikkel on pühendatud voltimise ja semiootika lõikumiskohtadele, olles meta kommentaariks Howard Pattee artiklile "Sümboli aluspõhistamine eelneb tõlgendamisele" (2021), mis on vastus Terrence Deaconi töödele ja leidis edasist täiendamist 2023. aastal. Rekursiivse enesepeegelduse kontekstis raamistatud artikkel uurib voltimist kui fundamentaalset semiootilist tegevust ning elementaarset semiootilist modelleerimist, leides kokkupuutepunkte Pattee oletusega, mis peab valkude voltimist semioosi ja tõl gen damise eelkäijaks. Selles diskursuses on keskne väide, et voltimine toimib mitte üks nes semioosi algatamistingimusena, vaid ka võimsa modelleeriva süsteemina. Läbi multidistsiplinaarse prisma valgustab artikkel seda, kuidas voltimine ilmneb modelleeriva mehhanismina mitmekesistes valdkondades alates bioloogiast kuni süntaksini. Eriti osu tab artikkel voltimispõhimõtete võimalikule rakendamisele tehisarus. Käsitades voltimis raamistust semiootilise modelleerimisena annab artikkel panuse tähistamise ja tõlgendamise aluseks olevate mehhanismide sügavamale mõistmisele semiootilistes süsteemides. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Sign Systems Studies is the property of University of Tartu and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
