# The Central Dogma of Information
## 4 Info-Autopoietic Communication  
Figure 3 illustrates a more succinct representation of the info-autopoietic process of transformation of sensory signals to semantic and syntactic information previously shown in Figure 2. Sensory signals are the basis for our interactions with the environment in seeking the satisfaction of our physiological and/or relational needs through a process of info-autopoiesis that enables meaning-making and its externalization in a triadic process involving Personal-Subjective-Relative (PSR-I), Impersonal-Objective-Absolute (IOA-I) and Shannon-Distilled (SD-I) information. It evolves from internalized (endogenous) semantic information to externalized (exogeneous) syntactic information. In this instance of oral communication, the externalized, syntactic information is in the form of sounds.  
Figure 4 shows a more elaborate and realistic representation of Figure 1 where an info-autopoietic individual Organism 1 on the left side of the figure communicates with a similar individual Organism 2 on the right side of the figure. Organism 2 may be considered just part of the environment for Organism 1, and vice versa. We neglect all other interactions of the organisms with the environment. Each organism is subject to the endogenous and exogeneous triadic info-autopoietic process involving (PSR-I)\({}_{1}\), (IOA-I)\({}_{1}\) and (SD-I)\({}_{1}\) for Organism 1 and (PSR-I)\({}_{2}\), (IOA-I)\({}_{2}\) and (SD-I)\({}_{2}\) for Organism 2. This allows asymmetrical recursive interactions and interactive communication between the organisms. This results in the development of an Intersubjective Space in a Shared Universe between the organisms due to an exchange of (SD-I), shown clearly in the upper center of Figure 3 by the designated intersection between the two circles designated as (SD-I)\({}_{1}\) and (SD-I)\({}_{2}\). It is only by the exchange of syntactical information that these two organisms can interact and communicate. In this asymmetric exchange the syntactical information needs to be interpreted by everyone to communicate effectively.  
Figure 3: Info-autopoiesis of sensory signals into semantic and syntactic information.  
In summary, living beings are at the center of all information recognition, extraction, creation, transmission, preservation, storage, and utilization. What began as sensory signals became PSR-I, evolved to IOA-I, and are externalized as SD-I, in a transformation process from endogenous semantic information to exogenous syntactic information. This process led to coronal signs, language, pictographs, sculptures, music, writing and digitization as expressions of exogenous information. In this technological progression in the generation of exogenous syntactic information, the centrality of human beings has been obscured and mystified. The role of Figure 3 is to summarize the process of info-autopoiesis as a process of the triadic transformation of the sensory experience of a living-being-in-its-environment into information or 'a difference which makes a difference,' by producing internal and external information. Internal information takes the form of semantic information. External syntactic information is synonymous with artificial creation with its inherent limitations for semantic expression.
