«Путешествие в окружающие миры животных и людей» (1934) и «Теория значения» (1940) — две революционные работы немецкого биолога и натурфилософа Якоба фон Икскюля (1864–1944). Их основные тезисы и введенное автором понятие «окружающего мира» (Umwelt) легли в основу биосемиотики. По Икскюлю все живые существа обитают не в едином мире, а являются субъектами, вокруг которых формируются их собственные ...

The article argues that one of the main characteristics of modernity is the underlying paradox that could be labeled as an attitude of securitization through catastrophe. The author shows how the aspiration to overcome catastrophes and crises forms the attitude to their utilization, i.e. to create apparatuses or devices that guarantee safety and successful transformation ...

This study introduces a cybernetic control and architectural framework for a robotic fish avatar operated by a human. The behavior of the robot fish is influenced by the electromyographic (EMG) signals of the human operator, triggered by stimuli from the surrounding objects and scenery. A deep artificial neural network (ANN) with perceptrons classifies the EMG ...

This article focuses on the widespread but vague concept of the smart city. The smart city is a visionary projection, around which are an eclectic ensemble of often contradictory theoretical attitudes and doctrines that link urban development with the devel- opment of technology, especially digital technology. We argue that the work of the British cyberneticist ...

This study considers the dialogue in the USSR between semiotics, cybernetics, and information theory, as a case study of the complexities of conceptual transfer between disciplines. Yuri Lotman’s use of the concept of entropy in literary criticism is especially telling. Information theory defines entropy in terms of a system’s complexity and predictability, while its metaphoric ...
