<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Soren,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Which comment is for me?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Also, I want to clarify the following:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">(1) 'Semiotics' is the name given to the study of signs generally and existed since long before Peirce's time (1839-1914).</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">(2) If we represent 'semiotics' as a large circle, it will contain many small sub-circles representing various theories about sign processes, including Peirce's own, yours, mine, and many others', each sub-circles contributing
to the complete description of the large circle.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">(3) In this Venn diagrammatic sense, 'neo-semiotics' is a sub-circle belonging to the large circle of Semiotics that should have some overlap with the Peircean semiotics since it is an extension of the latter. Further,
neo-semiotics has many new features not contained in the Peircean semiotics (e.g., molecular signs and their mechanisms of action driven by free energy dissipation, the essential thermodynamic requirement for semiosis, and the relation between micro- and macrosemiotics,
etc.) and hence cannot be completely contained within the sub-circle of the Peircean semiotics.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">All the best.</p>
