--- abstract: "Based on formal-theoretical principles about the \r\nsign processes involved, we have built synthetic experiments \r\nto investigate the emergence of communication based on \r\nsymbols and indexes in a distributed system of sign users, \r\nfollowing theoretical constraints from C.S.Peirce theory of \r\nsigns, following a Synthetic Semiotics approach. In this paper, we summarize these computational experiments and results regarding associative learning processes of symbolic sign modality and cognitive conditions in an evolutionary process for the emergence of either symbol-based or index-based communication." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: 'AISB/IACAP World Congress 2012, Symposium on Computational Philosophy ' confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Loula given: Angelo honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Queiroz given: Joao honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2012 date_type: published datestamp: 2013-11-18 21:12:39 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/91/10 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 9110 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/9110/1/compphil-loula%26queiroz-final-formatted.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2013-11-18 21:12:39 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 7 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2013-11-18 21:12:39 subjects: - comp-sci-art-intel - phil-mind succeeds: 9108 suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: "Synthetic Semiotics: on modelling and simulating the \r\nemergence of sign processes" type: confpaper userid: 4143 volume: ~
