Abstract:
Despite its obvious relevance, meaning has been outside most theoretical approaches to information in biology. As a consequence, functional responses based on an appropriate interpretation of signals has been replaced by a probabilistic description of correlations between emitted and received symbols. This assumption leads to potential paradoxes, such as the presence of a maximum information associated to a channel that would actually create completely wrong interpretations of the signals. Game-theoretic models of language evolution use this view of Shannon's theory, but other approaches considering embodied communicating agents show that the correct (meaningful) match resulting from agent-agent exchanges is always achieved and natural systems obviously solve the problem correctly. How can Shannon's theory be expanded in such a way that meaning -at least, in its minimal referential form- is properly incorporated? Inspired by the concept of {\em duality of the communicative sign} stated by the swiss linguist ... : 10 RevTex pages, 3 figure ...
