| Abstract | "The map is not the territory." Alford Korzybski In the fields of complex systems, theoretical biology, semiotic systems and cosmology, we find convergence in laboratory techniques and theory related to mapping. To map something is to understand it, both structurally and behaviorally. Mapping systems can be considered complex automated semiotic systems animated by procedural specifications and constraints. Physical and biological systems can be thought of holistically as a unified semiotic system. In this paper I combine the subjects of two recent colloquia, one which reviews the work of George Pattee, and the other on Mapping Knowledge Domains. The result: autopoietic ontologies-self-organized maps. |
