Abstract. Cognitive science seems to be going through a turning point. We have tried to make a theoretical framework that allows incorporating elements that promote greater understanding of cognitive phenomena. This requires moving from the neuron theory as a basis for cognitive neuroscience to the body as the basis of phenomena Biosemióticos. This difference in approach, the paradigm of the neuron to the paradigm of the body, is to develop a theory that integrates some developments of various disciplinary fields. The Quantum Theory of Cognitive resonance is linked to cognitive behavior and recognizes John Samaja, Francisco Varela, Ilya Prigogine, Lynn Margulis, Roger Penrose and Ruper Sheldrake major contributions to the development of an alternative to the realism.

Introduction: Juan Samaja said: "The substance of the universe there is, then, neither complete inherence (pure unity or pure discontinuity), or total dependence (virgin or pure multiplicity continuity). There is communication, because the universe is made up of communities, ie substances and related agencies on "(John Samaja, 2006, unpublished) The universe may be a similar Symphony. A variety of instruments produce resonances at different frequencies. These resonant sound like a whole in harmony. But we could with a little experience in music recognize the "color" that each instrument contributes to the overall result. But at the same time is possible with a little more experience, recognize the note of any such instrument to vibrate string, wind or percussion. However, there is a huge variety of events that are not noticeable. Just see what your body allows. The universe and its forms are the result of resonances. Earth was generating its own harmony. From the quantum resonances in microsystems to emergencies in ways macrosystems, we can see the similarity between the note, the instrument, the orchestra and the music of these emerging structures. Everything is related to everything. In a harmonious whole.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO BIOSEMIÓTICA. The origin of cosmic knowledge.
Speaking of the origin of cosmic knowledge means to establish a research program to find answers to the properties and cognitive characteristics of the universe. It is not our intention dwell too much on this point, but without a doubt, this budget creates major paradigm shifts to the origin of Science Knowledge generating real transdiscipline to be addressed in order to generate explanatory models more complex but also more sensitive. Marta Souto (Camillioni: 1996,123). Marta Souto explains how after the Big Bang theory of the universe evolved from one point to different forms of matter and the interactions between them increasingly complex and ends with his proposal for the Teaching of the Group. It is truly wonderful to see the increasing complexity of the cognitive. Another point related to this contribution we can see in The Tree of Knowledge, a work of Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela (Varela and another 2003.20-21), Chapter: The organization of living things

What is Biosemiótica? Juan Samaja Theses claims as "more precisely: that the existence of some form of reality implies a condition of existence as a kind of cognitive production (Samaja, 2006, unpublished) Term coined by Jakob von Uexküll in the 30s of the twentieth century to expand the concept of semiotic expressed by Kant and Peirce. The idea aims Biosemiótica include cognitive processes sígnicos all kinds of living beings. Uexküll argued that it was known that each species could build your own world. Therefore, there are many versions of the world as a species. Not exist prior to a world to discover. From this perspective, the semiotic processes are not exclusively male or anthropocentric, but acknowledges the possibility of knowing through semiotic processes all species. Agencies that are known. Since the single-celled organisms to humans, although this recognize any hierarchy. Why, exactly, what sustains this theory is the importance of different species in development and the variation of the same.
Professor Carlos Blanco Javier Martin of the University of Oviedo http://serbal.pntic.mec.es/ ~ cmunoz11/index.html made a contribution on their version of what they interpreted as including biosemiótica by other researchers as Jesper Hoffmeyer and Claus Emmeche G: \ Glossary. de. Carlos. von.der.Becke-biosemiotica-biosemiosis-biosemiotics-biosemio.htm as benchmarks for the development of this research program that includes Artificial Life. . It is important to note the version of Biosemiótica that these two authors mentioned by Professor White is the approach that we share a large part.

What is called Umwelt? The idea is to Umwelt emerging worlds. It concerns and is related to the definition of Biosemiótica. When we talk about emerging world what we are saying that each species builds, through cognitive processes, their own world based on their potential. Ortega y Gasset said: "I, me and my circumstances" in reference to this position. G: \ INFOAMÉRICA-Jakob von Uexküll.htm can find references to von Uexküll and ideas about Umwelt. In these paragraphs we can see very clearly the position of von Uexküll regarding the potential non-functional mechanistic-of different species: the appropriation of reality on its own terms of perception and relations with an interactive environment that allows such emergency. The reality is a world first, is not given, is not something that is there to be discovered, but a subjective construction conditioned by the environment. It is necessary to emphasize that von Uexküll "the absence of signs is the silence, the loss of meaning and order." The idea of Umwelt as percipiente and perceived environment, enriches the possibilities of development of epistemological theories in cognitive science.

What are some epistemological foundations that support this approach? Juan Samaja said: "Furthermore, our cells, which make up our tissues and organs that are removed are protozoa, preserved and passed on our body), which means that remain protozoa, but, as determined by its membership it gives a whole, far exceeding its standard of life "(John Samaja, 2006, unpublished) Perhaps the theory Serial Endosimbiótica (SET) from Lynn Margulis is the strongest contribution. We can find a definition on the ETS website: G: \ Endosimbiosis serial - Wikipedia, the encyclopedia libre.htm. The (SET) Serial Endosimbiótica theory holds that, and it is tested for the most part, contradicts the version of evolution that says Darwin's Theory of the evolution of the species. This theory holds that the eukaryotic cell, arises from the symbiotic union of two entities primitive isolated. The structural changes would be fitting. One of the cells located inside the other half to remain favorable and the other is an ally in the host that allows it to improve its functioning. The result is a new organization for self, from which emerged the potential to transform the face of the earth. The trend is not changing, but by symbiotic union. The idea of von Uexküll charged historical dimension to this important discovery by Dr. Lynn Margulis. To this point that the British Royal Society of Sciences has officially recognized the Serial Theory Endosimbiótica and have spoken about it as important biologists Sadin High School of Biology at the Autonomous University of Madrid (Spain). One consequence of the relative importance of the roles played by the genetic code from the Molecular Biology Neodarwinista. This is very clear in the article developed by Max Sandín: (G: \ and Evolution ambiente_ Sociedad_ Artículos_ THE BLIND AND ELEFANTE_ Sadin Dominguez. Symbiotic union occurs as "a possibility"

What is the importance of prebiotics systems at the dawn of the earth? Viruses and bacteria were the first entities that populated the earth. This process took approximately the first half of the present age of the Earth. To put that number could say 4000 million years ago and there was a true network-based communications between viruses and bacteria (http://www.banquete.org/banquete05/visualizacion.php?id=137 Ricardo Guerrero Bases Biophysics, Communication, 2005). To highlight the importance of this statement back to Dr Max Sadin of the Faculty of Biology at the Autonomous University of Madrid http://www.redcientifica.com/doc/doc200302140313.htm and Lynn Margulis http://www.uv .es/metode/anuario2001/31_2001. To 4,000 million years ago the first self-organized entities self emerged from the face of the Earth. Slowly and with the initial conditions (lack of oxygen) different "forms" were self-organized self-populating the planet. Possible structural links to increasing and changing forms, creating variations drifts, forks and development. This process lasted for the first 2000 million years. This is what holds the Ph. Dr. Antonio Machado Carrillo, University of La Laguna (Canary Islands). "The oldest fossil stromatolites are revealed 3,500 and 2,700 m found in Australia, photosynthetic organisms." Dr. Antonio Machado http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/machado10/pdf/science/psicosfera.pdf Carrillo has an article called the Biosphere Psicoesfera in which conducts a thorough development of the evolution of life on earth from its origins 4560 million years ago. Anything above developed allows us to have an idea of the strength Umwelt involving the records of the first fossil found cyanobacteria originated on the basis of carbon and sulfur between 3500 and 3900 million years. That means that led him to land around 800 million years of evolution from the first chemical compounds to the first bacteria. J. William Schopf of the University of California have discovered fossils of probable fotosintetizadores prokaryotic bacteria in rocks 3,500 million years. It is also important here to rescue the Miller experiment that from the existing elements in the atmosphere has achieved primary organic compounds from simple inorganic processes.

What we call the environment and perceived percipiente? It is necessary to revisit the issue Biosemiótica. The man is not only the product of the evolution of eukaryotic cells, but its existence would be impossible without the huge amount of microorganisms that work with its existence. (According to the maximum Sadin UAM). Juan Samaja this regard says: "There are still more! Besides these subjects cell (which are part and dependent on the whole organism) there are also many other subjects that are added to the process: they are millions and millions of bacteria that while they feed, play "work" for the irreplaceable whole process, "clearly expresses that it is not possible to think about the complexity of higher organisms outside agencies that allowed the emergence and complexity. See the case of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori percipiente The idea of environment lies in the fact that the Earth has now been modified by the actions of the entities that have participated in that change. In this connection it may be appropriate to recover the proposal Francisco Varela enactivo knowledge. A world that is modified and is known to enacción. The emergence of different levels in the organization of biological entities does emerge different cognitive abilities, knowledge of man, and particularly scientific knowledge, has its roots in many other forms of knowledge. "The summary and conclusion of this long circumlocution is that it is reasonable to design molecules and clusters of cells, individuals, communities and States as a genuine subject of the methods that produce beliefs and, as such, have functions essential for the self of each of these conglomerate "(John Samaja). Jacob von Uexküll in 1934 published a paper called "A walk through the animal world and men illustrated book of invisible worlds." Significantly, the words of the Uexkull Umwelt of the tick. I think this passage clearly expresses the idea of Umwelt and how this leads to a world of signs, sign the Biosemiótica.

Enactivo knowledge or cognitive effective action. The action is the result of learning a set of transactions that occur between the body and the environment. This action depends on the overall state of the system. Of the many stimuli in the environment, the body is coupled with structural strength to those who are more unbalanced. This is not the only environmental or external, depends on the internal state of the particular system. The same atmosphere (as niche) influence in different ways in the body present. Hunger, thirst, sex, among others, allow the emergence of the self and self-regulation in the body that carried the body to effectively a new state of equilibrium. The development activities will depend on the possibilities inherent to the species: if a paramecio, a gibbon or a human being. The actions are linked to cognitive actions and the actions perceptual motor perceptually guided. Taking the idea that knowledge builds on Francisco Varela enactivo, we'll see what he proposes as "embodied knowledge." (Francisco Varela, 1991:18)

1 - cognition depends on the type of experience that comes from having a body with multiple sensory-motor skills and 2 - sensory-motor skills these individuals are housed in turn in a larger cultural and biological
.
Francisco Varela in the book "This Body, (Gedisa, 1992:203) says" ... no enactivo The approach seeks to determine how it recovers a world independent of the recipient but to determine the common principles of legal linkage between the sensory and motor systems that explain how action can be perceptually guided in a world dependent on the beneficiary, "this sentence will be crucial for developing the theory of Quantum Resonance Theory of Cognitive we are developing. The approach enactivo reminds us of the beautiful Machado phrase "no walking paths, is the way to go." "The emergence of cognition is a world history through a viable structural coupling" (Varela, 1992:238) for each species: epigenesis. Later Varela says the condition of feasibility about the ontogeny and phylogeny. Francisco Varela's approach seems to be related body and knowledge of life and hence knowledge. It seems appropriate at this time to recover the contributions of Piaget (Piaget, 1979:91) to the problem we are proposing. The author argues that knowledge is directly related to the body and this in turn is consistent with the development of epigenetic system, ie the different cognitive levels of intracellular, intercellular, tissues, organs, as already ahead Juan Samaja above. . We must recognize that in this work Piaget produces a valuable contribution to recognize the existence of somatic levels of integration and communication between them. It also argues that the changes that produce the variations are the result of changes in the deepest levels. This creates the pattern of the standards of the most profound and communication systems with the other levels. The problem of the mind In the book of Dr. Martin Wainstein (Wainstein, 2006:94) Bateson produces quite a junction with the concepts previously worked in body hierarchical levels, subsystems, which tend to maintain a balance self. It is clear that the concept of mind Bateson looks like the concept of Umwelt von Uexküll. It is the embodied mind. Corporizada mind. Also the contribution of Kenneth J. Gergen (K. Gergen, 1994:212) says:
... .. The whole experience is a mental condition ... ... ..





"A complex system is a representation of a cut of that reality, conceptualized as an organized whole (hence the name system), in which the elements are not separable," and therefore can not be studied in isolation "
What is the appropriate methodology for the study of complex cognitive system? Rolando Garcia argues (Garcia, 2000.40) "will use the term" complex cognitive "to refer to the whole set of all components of this highly heterogeneous. Garcia (Garcia, 2007.21) defines a complex system:
We began to see that the problem of knowledge is not possible to separate mind-body experience. This conclusion Garcia "and therefore can not be studied in isolation" We clarified that it is not possible to study the phenomenology of the body structure in isolation, nor those of the physical phenomena which links the structures extrinsic / intrinsic. We interpret our original thesis about the unity of complex minimum-energy-Communication Organization in cognitive systems, they constitute a complex system.

Is there a relationship between self systems, and self-Systems? Garcia Systems for Complex systems are self and self. From the perspective of the school in Brussels and the Organized Chaos Theory, we can recognize self systems in chemical systems and the sensitivity of such systems to initial conditions, developed on the laws of deterministic chaos, and valid for open systems away from the equilibrium conditions. Chaos Theory Generalized deepens its concepts leading to systems prebiotics-biotic and social. We can also observe certain forms of self-Euclidean not like the weather or catastrophic events. Here is an important contribution in developing the theory of catastrophes Rene Thom and mathematics of fractal morphic resonance Rupert Sheldrake. In this regard, the methodology of the Complex Systems acquires strategic importance in the study of complex cognitive from the perspective of self and self systems as open systems away from thermodynamic equilibrium. In this sense the removal of entropy (negentropia) means the contribution of order. The order could autogenerarse from certain properties of systems based on quantum resonances.

SEMIOTICA EVOLUTIONARY Throughout the work we have built on the idea of evolutionary feature semiosis. But it has not yet been reflected what would be the model that should take the sign to reflect this situation. Since the various proposals only reveal the status of the sign at the time of stability. To do this, if we take the view Carlos Cossio. Or Saussure, Pierce, and so on. we will see in the list but only three elements to improve this assessment is necessary to the thought of John Samaja. But Juan Samaja produced a new model in the form of the sign reveals its evolutionary status. I think this deserves special attention because it puts us in front of a model that fits with what we have had previously. Ayudémonos with an image that takes into account some of the key levels of integration that we can imagine the reality as we present:


Civil Society

Society Policy (State)

(reflectión)

Cultural Community
(Traditión)

Biocomunidad

The diagram is trying to say that the higher levels (metaphorically speaking) are erected on the lower. At the same time, attempts to express the idea that the level never further depletes the bottom (of the floods there side). If the calls are lower levels earlier in time and are, somehow, the last of the above, reveals that two-way effect the past is still present: 1. because not all the lower level is captured and colonized by the superior and 2. because what is subsumed, it is not annihilated, as preserved and remains active within the level of integration that subsumes. We can say that the "debt to the past" is far from a "debt" with dead people. Returning for a few seconds to the issues that we try to talk about food. If protozoa are the subjects of previous levels of integration to metazoa, then, is still easy to recognize that protozoa in the world and who are our contemporaries. And to top it! It is also true that the mass of living protozoa is across the Earth, most important (quantitatively speaking) that the mass metazoa. Furthermore, our cells, which make up our tissues and organs that are removed are protozoa, preserved and passed on our body), which means that remain protozoa, but, as determined by its membership gives you a whole Now, its higher standard of existence. In a chart could look like this:

metazoarios




ORGANISMS


BACTERIAS CÉLL
copresentes (Constituent)


Bacteria (protozarios) that are outside the rectangle of metazoa are, so to speak, in a relationship with the co-presence metazoa. But cells (also protozoa) that are within the rectangle, forming a constituent part of the metazoa: are "cells" and are subject certain regulated by their integration into all organismic. Well, just as there are living outside the unicellular organism (co) and cells that are part of it (constituents), there were insights of science and insights into science, there were traditions of science and traditions that are part it, there are metaphysical outside (and against) the science and metaphysics in science. This statement can be displayed in the diagram above as follows:

This chart allows us to "see" the sign of which way is the product of evolution and this allows us to talk about as Semiotic evolutionary process. It is important to note that the process occurs Semiotic with the clear objective of conduct to guide the action from the body and located lived. Knowledge is "enactivo. However, I can take another contribution of Juan Samaja which immediately shows the process of semiotic.

Third proposal: express a dialectical theory of the sign. The most basic features that can articulate a concept of dialectics (as re-German philosophy with the contributions of Kant, Fichte, Humboldt, Hegel, Marx, Dilthey, Bertalanffy, Habermas, Gadamer, Apel, etc..) Expressed two inseparable concepts: 1. organismic conception, and 2. historical dialectical conception. Organismic conception develops the concept of "agency" (or "full relational regulated") as a synthesis between the permanence of the substance (or subsistence), and the change of change caulsaes. The notion of body as a synthesis between the substance and the relations or relativism, between the substance / accident and the cause / effect. The category of "body" is determined by entities such as the assertion that achieve real and its inherent stability through the ceaseless change. By the imbalance and the continuing transformation of both their constituents and their structural forms. Piaget, in the tradition of the body Bertalanffy called "closed systems in terms of cycles, but open in the middle." Historical dialectical conception of history develops the concept of training or practice as a historical summary of the new production and reproduction of the same and, by recognizing the contradictions and conflicts that arise from the proliferation of reproductive currently effective against validity of the limits placed by the boundary conditions of the given, and the transition to new forms of partnership or reconfiguration productive. The mechanism that defines the transformation of production driven by the performance (= performances) is described by the reproductive category of solidarity and Aufhebung the immediacy of return. Both concepts applied to the analysis of the sign, the following conclusions: 1. Semiotic process could not be conceived or only as a substance or only as a form, but also and primarily as a historical evolution, ie a substance that has come into existence and is relatively stable with a flow incessant changes over which they form and transform relations between its components, leading to complex structural and functional hierarchies that define each time, their actions (performance: tokens); jurisdiction (destination: types) and their reproductive cycles (ie, its canonical narrative or method of production / reproduction). 2. The theory of the sign in its original wording (such as those of Peirce and F. de Saussure) only focused elements of the structure of the performance (= surface structure: represent / object / interpreting), and was added without an explicit rationale, other elements of the deep structure (of the competition and the production / reproduction), a dialectic of the sign makers have to add to its analytical dimension triadic (or performance), a dynamic dimension, also triadic (competition, referring to the classification of the signifier, the meaning and purpose of the classification competition Intérprete to associate some sort of expression with some other kind of content) and, finally, a dimension of epigenetic mark, also triadic (or history of the mode of production / playback). 3. The last of the substrate is semiotic processes, then, as all historical and operational training or as a mode of being Narrative, and thus hermeneutic, and involves not only a semiotic interpretation of man but of all reality, designed as a material universe-causal-representational. A first formal display device that shows the basic components of semiosis are a total of nine. But this amount does not invalidate the traditional argument about the nature of the triadic sign, but it reaffirms once the systematising enriches this structure as the product of two axes or dimensions: a static dimension, a dimension and a dynamic dimension epigenetics. The following chart shows the results of this new organization and categorization. :

The sign as a process and function. The sign as a process that allows the semiosis is part of the fundamental condition of the regulatory process of the whole. The sign consists of the third is in the community. This third party must be construed as closing the transaction semantics of the body. The closure operational infinite present or in the immediate relapse occurs at the level of regulation of the entire community. The entire governing party. We need clearly stated that this is the level of organization of the body.

The sign is a system consisting of three variables. Energy, communication and organization. According to the submissions Prigogine:

Molecular Level (micro)

The molecular level is the interaction between subject and object, from the properties of these is the statistical and self patterns due to Resonances Quánticas cognitivo. Then there is the structural link to the organization. That raised not reflected the evolving nature of the sign. It is unclear as to reach significant meaning. That is generated as interpreting. This requires talking about the semiotic tools. The instruments allow the semiotic sign is going to be in the formative history of the subject. A single object can be an instrument of semiotic different meanings depending on interpreting the action. The effectiveness of the action is what makes the idea of forming a sign structure. In this sense there are some basic conditions: The chances of the kind of cognition and membership of a particular community center. The possibilities of cognition of the species act as hardware and culture from the EU membership of a particular act as core software, then the body as the site of conflicts in the interface nature guide who will nurture the formation of structures to meanings From corporality located.
