role of entropy in semiosis. Entropy comes into full play if semiosis is seen as a purely physical process involving causal … sign. Recognizing this duality, the Gibbs/Jaynes notion of entropy can be added to the picture, which shares an essential … the same time. Thus, it is possible to give an account of semiosis within the entropy framework without limiting the …

In Georgescu-Roegen’s classical, though controversial discussion of entropy in relation to economics, the dualism of … maximum entropy. Following Searle, I introduce the ontological dualism of observer independent and observer relative facts …, and show that the notion of entropy also manifests this dualism, in the sense of the contextuality of measurements in …

Recently, Kleidon suggested a restatement of the Gaia hypothesis based on Maximum Entropy approaches to the Earth … continuously moves away from equilibrium, driven by maximum entropy production which materializes in hierarchically coupled … recent biosemiotic research. I argue that the conjunction of these three theoretical sources, Maximum Entropy, Kauffman …

Recently, the maximum entropy principle has been applied to explain the evolution of complex non-equilibrium systems …, such as the Earth system. I argue that it can also be fruitfully deployed to reconsider the classical treatment of entropy … principles of Maximum Entropy (Jaynes), Maximum Power (Lotka) and Maximum Entropy Production can be arranged in a way such that …
