The Cybersemiotic Star: A diagram of how the communicative social system of embodied minds’ four main areas of knowledge arises. Physical nature is usually explained as originating in energy and matter sometimes also information, living systems as emerging from the development of life processes (such as the first cell). Social culture is explained as founded on the development of meaning and power in language and practical habits, and finally our inner mental world is explained as deriving from the development of our individual life world and consciousness, in spiritual and religious frameworks often ultimately from an objective transcendental spirit or as a soul coming from a personal creator God.
