Communication as the

irreducible triad

(Chapter 9) of macro-, micro-, and holo-communications.

Communication

Communication System

Mechanisms

Macro-

communication (macrosemiotics; external communication; humanese

)

A

= speaker

B

= hearer

C

= sound waves

Micro-

communication (microsemiotics; internal communication; cellese

)

f =

chemical to mechanical energy conversion (see Section 3.4); g = mechanical to chemical energy conversion; h

= “cell force”

(see Section 3.2.17). CCW

= chemical concentration waves

Here A, B, and C are the components of

individual living cells that enable micro-communication, which is a prerequisite for macro-communication

Holo-

All communications are irreducibly triadic, i.e.,

require three essential components, A, B, and C connected in a special manner as to form what is known as a commutative triangle in category theory (see Section 2.1)

f =

sign production

g

= sign interpretation

h

= information flow
