Abandoning the code metaphor is compatible with semiotic process
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 42 (2019)
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.Author's Profile
