Semiosis helps us to navigate through complexity of life by making meaning of huge number of signs we live and deal with, and their intricate and dynamic interrelationships. Semiosis is guided by our living experience and by an internal urge for learning based on this experience. Both experience and learning are inseparable from the process of communication. Life starts with communication and ends when our ability to communicate ceases.
Any experiential event stirs up our inherent potential for learning.
And it is through communication that we can realize this potential. Learning needs togetherness - a dialogue with others or with our own thoughts and feelings, a communion with nature or with various sources of inspiration and wisdom. If we stop to communicate, learning also stops. Once learning stops, experience degenerates into meaninglessly repeated stamps. The moment an individual starts to interpret some experiential event, this event becomes immediately colored by individual's thoughts and feelings.
