Elementary Particles as Signs

in Versus n. 118, Semiotica e matematiche/Semiotics and Mathematics, pp.105-117

Abstract

C.S. Peirce’s semiotic approach admits the possibility of natural signic systems. This article explores the possible connection between the concept of elementary particle and the irreducible relations of Peircean semiotics. The potentialities and the limitations of a semiotic vision of elementary physical processes are addressed.
