The “irreducibility” in Figure 10.31 means that semiotics cannot be

reduced to any one or a pair of the three branches and that semiotics can

only be characterized as a combination of all these three branches,

although certain branches may predominate over others, depending on the

point of emphasis dictated by the method of inquiries employed.

Figure 10.31 Semiotics (or the semiospace) as the irreducible triad of three aspects

of sciences. Each branch is focused on the study of the transformation of energy/matter, of

information, or of the hypothetical entity, gnergy (defined as a complementary union

of energy/matter and information/life).

Table 10.13 Semiotics as a theory of everything encompasses three main branches of

sciences.

Note: As a consequence of the irreducibly triadic nature of semiotics, the boundaries among the three

branches of sciences cannot be sharply demarcated but may be rather vague or fuzzy in the sense of

Zadeh and Kosko [456], the degree of fuzziness being more or less proportional to the complexity of

the system under consideration.
