In this paper we discuss a set of conceptual issues regarding the synthesis of semiotic processes within artificial systems, and its technological offspring, the semionic networks. We start by putting in context what is this thing semiotic synthesis, and how and why it differs from semiotic analysis. We follow proposing the concept of a "semion", as both an elementary entity with semiotic proce...

This paper describes the results of a simulation using metrics associated with the principles of artificial economics in animal cognition. The main purpose of this research paper is to understand the principles of natural minds and adopt these principles in a simulation environment. This approach necessasarily requires the design and test of a range of simple and complex computational agents. T...
