This can be interpreted as a primary form of anticipation learning. The behaviour of the sequential organic molecules with a high combinatorial potential gives rise to several features which are isomorphic with those of semiotic systems, and text. Organism is a text to itself since it requires reading and re-presentation of its own structures for its existence, e.g., for growth and reparation, it also uses reading of its memory when functioning. This defines an organism as a self-reading text. Anticipation is a property which primarily appears in autocatalytic cycles. For textual autocatalytic systems, anticipation could be represented as a sign. Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:01:01 +0200 Fri, 28 Jun 2024 14:01:12 +0200 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=594
