Minai fr 0 http://popups.lib.uliege.be/1373-5411/index.php?id=1077 One of the puzzling problems of describing artistic and scientific ideas and concepts is their "language", or their means of presentations. Semantic issues in verbal description specifically, and even scientific modes, often have their limitations. The notion of "anticipation" and its derivative: anticipator and anticipated, due to interconnection with both the subjective and objective world, become highly contextual, and subject to interpretation. It is suggested here that the notion of anticipation, and therefore anticipatory systems, because it falls into both domains, subject and object, would have to challenge the said problem, in order to carry a certain degree of accuracy. That is, since these two domains each have its own modes of presentation, then any discussion on anticipatory systems has to define its boundary within the ranges of domains which covers many schools of thought, from one end of extremes of objective description, to the other end of subjective description. Here we suggest that even the most extreme of subjective experience, namely mystic experiences, should not be excluded from our understanding of phenomenon.

The recent developments of autopoietic knowing and its influence on a constructivist orientation to knowledge, although significantly improved over the said views of Aristotle and Plato, are also criticized for their shortcomings. This is due to the fact that it only takes into consideration the conscious intentional aspect of human mentality, rather than a holistic view of knowing. It is further suggested that anticipatory systems viewed from the constructivist perspective faces a similar criticism. We therefore propose a phenomenological approach to knowing. In addition we suggest a model, namely mythopoietic communication, which overcomes some of the said criticism addressed at autopoietic knowing. We find no better concepts than information theory, and the phenomenology of communication that have the capability to provide us with this objective. That is, information in its very being, is the constituent of Being, it is inherent in the physical, biological, socio-cultural, as well as spiritual aspect of Being. Furthermore, the unity of Being is a text through which the pattern of behavior of parts and the whole are anticipatory in nature. Mythopoietic communication, our proposed Metaphenomenological model, we suggest is capable of addressing both issues of physicobiological, as well as archetypal meanings and symbolic dimensions of mythology, therefore the knowing of the totality of Being. Our proposed model represents our idea of bringing together all aspects of our world. The conceptual framework of the model consists of following components: the first component is information and communication theory. This theory is based on the concept of entropy that encompasses the opposite forces of nature and their transformation into one another. It deals with physical, and soco-cultural issues, whether they are material, meaning, or symbols. The second component is the phenomenology of communication, whether transcendental or immanent. The third component is autopoiesis dealing with biological entanglement and cybernetic closure. Finally, mythopoietic communication as a composite concept, which deals with the two diverse aspects of Being, namely, physical and biological (which is dealt with autopoieticly), and mythology, with a broad spectrum covering the unmeasureable aspects of human culture, including, meaning, religion, and spirituality.
