Abandoning the code metaphor is compatible with semiotic process

Terrence W Deacon et al. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

We agree with Brette's assessment that the coding metaphor has become more problematic than helpful for theories of brain and cognitive functioning. In an effort to aid in constructing an alternative, we argue that joining the insights from the dynamical systems approach with the semiotic framework of C. S. Peirce can provide a fruitful perspective.
