198 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matterb2861 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matter “6x9”(3) Just as the Decree of Memphis provided the common referent for
both the known and the unknown texts inscribed on the Rosetta
Stone, so the isomorphism between cell and human languages
recently uncovered [19] may provide the basis for connecting the
known and the unknown texts written within human language (see
the fourth row in Table 4.11). Cell and human languages are iso-
morphic in the sense that they both obey a common set of semiotic
principles [19–23], including rule-governed creativity, double
articulation, maximum information principle (due to arbitrariness
of signs), discreteness of signs, and semanticity (see the bottom of
Figure 4.7(b)).
(4) Conformons (see Section 3.4) may play a key role in decoding
DNA, just as the concept of “logophonograms” played an essen-
tial role in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs (see the fifth row in
Table 4.11).
(5) Finally,The fact that the human brain carries both cell and human languages
that are isomorphic indicates that matter and mind are connected at the
deepest level (4.21)which, if proven valid upon further investigations, may have profound
implications for linguistics, cognitive sciences, philosophy, art, and
religions.4.7.1 Rule-Governed Creativity
Using a finite set of elements, almost an infinite number of combinations
of a small number of elements can be generated that have meanings or
functions [252, 260, 261]. As pointed out by Jerne [72], a finite-sized
germline DNA sequences can generate an open-ended number of antibod-
ies through somatic mutations in B-cell.4.7.2 Double Articulation also called Duality
The first articulation is responsible for the almost infinite number of sen-
tences that can be generated from a finite number of words, and theb2861_Ch-04.indd 198 17-10-2017 11:58:57 AM
