7. All objects, including signs, obey
the principle of wave-particle
duality
Isomorphism between human and cell
languages (Ji 1997a, 1999b)
11. Peirce's theory of signs is based on the triad of
sign
,
object
, and
interpretant
(Short 2007).
Based on quantum physics and cell biology, we
can now identify Peirce's “interpretant” with
cell language
or
cellese
(Ji 1999b) that living
cells use to represent the world internally
8. Both humans and living cells use
languages as means to
communicate. Human language
(
humanese
) utilizes sound waves
and electromagnetic waves;
cell language (
cellese
) utilizes
chemical concentration waves
12.
Humanese
and
cellese
may be the
complementary aspects of the cosmological
language (or
cosmese
) which can be identified
with quantum mechanics in agreement with
Pagels (1982)
a
The term “wave-particle dual” is used to indicate that some physical objects or entities exhibit both wave- and particle-like properties such as light and
electrons
b
Dissipatons
are synonymous with “dissipative structures,” the structures that require the dissipation of free energy to exist and hence disappear upon the
