... can continue without forcing premature, exclusionary decisions. The same mechanism, however, can become destructive when semantic promises are not followed by any tightening of couplings over time, leading to persistent gaps between talk and implementation. Social implications The framework...

...Francisco X. Morales Purpose In a context of critical transition such as the COVID-19 pandemic, moral semantics take a prominent role as a form of self-description of society. However, they are not usually observed, but rather assumed as self-evident and necessarily “good.” The purpose...

...-enhancing feedback mechanism potentializing an evolutionary systemic rearrangement of structural couplings, and will it encounter limitations as a general approach for a sustainable development? Design/methodology/approach By using the Luhmannian theory as method, core concepts are semantics, structure...

... and special words used in CGC. Design/methodology/approach A novel text mining framework is proposed to detect and evaluate implicit semantic word relations and context. First, POS (part of speech) tagging is used for detecting aspect descriptions and sentiment-bearing words. Then, LDA (latent Dirichlet...

.... Design/methodology/approach We use quantum geometry to design a formal model for textual semiotics. In particular, the authors refer to Greimas’s work on semantics and information theory, to Eco’s writings on semantic memory and to Lotman’s work on a cybernetic notion of culture. Findings Quantum...

... that extracts or generates meaning, with the distinction between extracting or generating meaning corresponding to the distinction between semantic and environmental information. A diagrammatic convention based on communications theory and making use of hierarchies of levels is found to provide a powerful means...

... The paper uses the logic defined to establish a semantical model of the computation in reaction‐diffusion media. Originality/value The work presents the first ever attempt toward mathematical formalization of reaction‐diffusion processes and is built building up semantics of reaction‐diffusion computing...

... as a mechanism to form more general semantic level. By checking the extension and the intension of concept, this method extracts the concept pairs satisfying inclusion relations from descartes' set of concepts in distributed ontologies first, and then constructs a concept lattice according to these concept pairs...

... the requirements of practical cybernetics, it brings new light to theory and practice of connecting nations, allows to simplify innovating technologies and their exchange in polylingual fields. Cybernetics Innovation Semantics Grammar Mind activity (thinking process) in innovating technologies finds...

...Frank George The background and origins of Cybernetics are viewed from a philosophical standpoint, with special emphasis on semantics. Artificial Intelligence is regarded as a central aspect of Cybernetics and both Artificial Intelligence and Cybernetics as part of Information Science...
