Dependendo da identidade do leitor, poderá ainda ser didático ou herético, e para outros será apenas lógico. Nem mesmo para os diletos colaboradores de João Queiroz haverá leitura sem surpresas, pois o caminho percorrido é tão único quanto o próprio autor. […] Tomados em conjunto, os seis capítulos deste livro percorrem a distância que vai do pergaminho à idéia nova, desmistificando e atualizando Peirce com vistas a uma grande síntese neurosemiótica. Evidentemente as direções apontadas neste livro estão ainda por serem exploradas, e é nisso mesmo que reside sua força: mais do que prover respostas, este trabalho abre portas para novas perguntas. A importância destas não passará despercebida para os iniciados na filosofia de Peirce.” SIDARTA RIBEIRO (Prefácio, 2022)
VISUALIZANDO SIGNOS: modelos visuais para as classificações sígnicas de Charles S. Peirce, 2017
Peirce “pensava através de diagramas visuais” (KENT 1987; CP 4.544, 4.571; NEM 4: 375).1 Em suas ... more Peirce “pensava através de diagramas visuais” (KENT 1987; CP 4.544, 4.571; NEM 4: 375).1 Em suas próprias palavras, “Não é um fato histórico que o melhor raciocínio tenha sido feito por palavras, ou imagens aurais. Ele tem sido conduzido por imagens visuais e imaginações musculares. No pensamento de melhor tipo, um experimento imaginário é conduzido” (NEM 4: 375).
Este livro é sobre o tratamento diagramático da teoria do signo de Peirce, mais especificamente sobre uma importante seção de sua Gramática Especulativa. Como representar, por meio de modelos geométricos, diagramáticos, gráficos ou to- pológicos, o padrão ou arranjo de relações que constitui a se- miose (ação do signo), o signo, as classes e classificações de signos, é uma questão cujo tratamento recorrente, por espe- cialistas na obra de Peirce, sugere a medida de sua importân- cia. Para Ransdell (1983: 16), “podemos argumentar que uma descrição verbal do processo da semiose apela, sempre, para sua inteligibilidade, para uma esquematização gráfica”. Mui- tos autores propuseram diferentes “esquemas gráficos” para representar a semiose e as classificações de signos. Estes mo- delos podem ser considerados “construções hipotéticas usadas para entender e prever como um sistema de relações deve funcionar” (SPINKS 1991: 445).

What are the open theoretical questions that are already addressed but still in need of a more comprehensive analysis and better articulation?
The reader will find here a collection of texts that present from different perspectives a co- ordinated attempt to develop and correlate theoretical semiotics and AI techniques in order to create innovative and more robust intelligent systems. It is the first broad account of the field; it does not focus specifically on or privilege any of the different approaches that have been proposed up until now, but instead, it gives the reader the opportunity to consider the various directions and focuses that are emerging within the field.

According to the first perspective, semiosis is modeled in terms of a multilayered system, with micro functional entities at the lower-level and with higher-level processes being mereologically composed of these lower-level entities. According to the second perspective, habits are embedded in ecologically-inherited environments of signs that co-evolve with cognition. Both descriptions offer a novel approximation of Peirce's semiotics and theoretical findings in other areas (hierarchy theory, evolutionary biology), suggesting new frameworks to approach the concept of habit integrated with its role in semiosis.

Considering the relevance of the semiotic approach for future developments in artificial intelligence, we suggest—and certainly hope—that the collection will be a major contribution to the field. Within the book, we have contributions from philosophers, cognitive scientists, computer scientists, and engineers, all focused on the singular agenda of inquiring how semiotics works with intelligent system techniques in order to create newer and more robust types of intelligent systems. One of the main criticisms of which intelligent systems developers are accused is being naïve in their approaches to the question, “What is intelligence?” Therefore, it is as important to take into
account the philosophy of the mind and to be aware of the issues of that field within current philosophic speculations as it is to develop a practical methodology of the technologies of semiotic intelligent systems.
The book is divided into four parts. Section I: Theoretical Issues includes chapters with a more philosophical tone. Section II: Discussions on Semiotic Intelligent Systems includes chapters that still have a philosophical flavor but move beyond philosophical speculations toward some kind of implementation of intelligent systems. Section III: Semiotics in the Development of Intelligent Systems includes chapters that use semiotics in some sense for the development of an intelligent system. Finally, the fourth part, Semiotic Systems Implementations, includes chapters whose authors claim to be using semiotic concepts in intelligent systems implementation."

[...] Ele desenvolve uma lógica heterogênea seguindo as notações e o pensamento de C.S. Peirce, com um toque profundo de originalidade como ninguém. E como se isto não fosse suficiente, tudo fica demarcado dentro de uma meditação sobre uma neurobiologia da semiose, e a base da comunicação entre primatas não-humanas. [...] Eu, de fato, estou maravilhado com a abordagem rigorosamente argumentada deste volume. Deve ser leitura indispensável para o pesquisador da filosofia de Peirce, do pragmatismo, das ciências cognitivas, e da semiótica em seu sentido mais amplo.

Special Issue puts together researchers from many fields to address some important questions: What are semiotic and symbolic processes? What is a semiotic machine? What kind of theoretical and empirical constraints must we consider to simulate semiosis? Can an evolutionary computational approach to semiosis reveal the mechanisms involved in symbolic competence emergence and performance? Is the semiotic behaviour an emergent property resulting from the dynamical interaction between an embodied creature and the environment? How can higher level semiotic processes can emerge from lower level ones?
This Issue is the outcome of the II Workshop on Computational Intelligence and Semiotics, happened in August 2002, at Itaú Cultural, São Paulo, Brasil. The meeting was supported by the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP), and was sponsored by CAPES, FAPESP, and Itaú Cultural. The workshop organization format privileged open discussion and debate from theoretical issues to applied intelligent system software implementations. Researchers from computer science (Tom Ziemke), engineering (Leandro de Castro, Ricardo Gudwin, Ângelo Loula), cognitive science (Pim Haselager, Maria Eunice Gonzalez), neuroscience (Sidarta Ribeiro, Ivan Araújo), philosophy (Andre De Tienne, Joseph Ransdell), computational linguistics (Alexander Mehler), linguistics and semiotics (Winfried Noth, Lucia Santaella, João Queiroz) were invited.
