Title: Architectonics of semiosis
First published: 1998
Description: Societies are understood as architectures for the systematic transformation of energy into information/matter, and, using this hypothesis, are examined within two architectural frames - that of the unilevel and the bilevel society. Architectonics of Semiosis lifts semiotics from its literary-linguistic sphere and expands biophysics from a materialist focus to explore the interrelationships of these two forces of organization within the evolving complexities of sociocognitive forms of order.

This interdisciplinary work offers original examinations of societies as complex codifications of energy, and of human beings as integrated aspects of larger and more complex codifications of energy.
