Abstract

The consideration of semiotic relations and operations in genetic coding leads to a revision of the accepted understanding of the sign as a kind of substitute associated with some object by social conventions. The new perspective allows us to eliminate the conventional and socially determined characteristics of signs as conditio sine qua non and adopt a broader understanding of sign production as an inherent property of systems that control information processes. An exemplification of such a system is the GC (the genetic code), it encompasses correlation schemes between nucleotides and amino acids. It also includes operations that regulate and interact with the context (environment). The recognition of conventionality as a necessary condition can be reformulated and replaced by interaction schemes. As a first step, we reconsider the representation of the genetic code as a static vocabulary and recognize its dynamic character - in this case a sign as determined association between the signified and the signifier arises every time as a result of an operation performed here and now, as a codepoiesis (or semiopoiesis) in action. At the same time, the nature of semiosis at each stage of the gene expression (DNA - mRNA - tRNA) is changed. These stages can be considered as a transition from hypertext (genome as a set or sequence of texts) to a single text (gene) and sign (tRNA). A full-fledged sign as a triadic relationship (sign vehicle - sense - meaning) is represented by tRNA. Additionally, in association with mRNA, tRNA acts as a second-order signifier for a complex sign: codon of mRNA → {(tRNA anticodon + tRNA) → amino acid}.

符号学在行动:一个生物分子的观点。
对遗传编码中符号学关系和操作的考虑导致了对符号作为一种社会习俗与某些对象相关联的代用品的公认理解的修订。新的视角使我们能够消除符号作为必要条件的传统和社会决定特征,并将符号生产作为控制信息处理系统的固有属性进行更广泛的理解。这种系统的一个例子是GC(遗传密码),它包含核苷酸和氨基酸之间的相关方案。它还包括调节上下文(环境)并与之交互的操作。将常规性作为必要条件的认识可以被交互方案重新表述和取代。作为第一步,我们重新考虑作为静态词汇的遗传密码的表示,并认识到它的动态特征-在这种情况下,符号是指与能指之间确定的关联,每次作为此时此地执行的操作的结果,作为代码生成(或半生成)在起作用。同时,基因表达(DNA - mRNA - tRNA)各阶段的符号性也发生了变化。这些阶段可以被认为是从超文本(基因组作为一组文本或文本序列)到单一文本(基因)和符号(tRNA)的过渡。一个完整的符号作为一种三元关系(符号载体-意义-意义)由tRNA表示。此外,与mRNA结合,tRNA作为一个复杂符号的二级符号:mRNA的密码子→{(tRNA反密码子+ tRNA)→氨基酸}。

期刊介绍: BioSystems encourages experimental, computational, and theoretical articles that link biology, evolutionary thinking, and the information processing sciences. The link areas form a circle that encompasses the fundamental nature of biological information processing, computational modeling of complex biological systems, evolutionary models of computation, the application of biological principles to the design of novel computing systems, and the use of biomolecular materials to synthesize artificial systems that capture essential principles of natural biological information processing.
