While physical systems are signified by status, life systems are evidenced by function and organ. As anticipatory systems their behaviour relies on embodied memories of their past and probable future. Complexity and semiosis act as drivers of evolution; anticipation as constituting principle of life systems. Complexity implies unfolding and re-enfolding guiding differentiation and growth. Semiosis generates intent and meaning ensuring viable simplicity. Interacting, they open potentiality and fields of probability for development. The dynamic entailment of complexity and meaning structures all life systems up to mental constructs. - An overarching concept embraces the pattems of life. It sheds light on the fundamental changes concerning life conditions in society and ecology.

In this paper we argue that complex units of symbols like sentences, for example, are signs and the meaning of a text arises via their interaction. We introduce a model for the generation of summaries and illustrate its potential by a realistic example.

In CNS, messages are simultaneously expressed in a linguistic form, in commands or behaviours, and in neurophysiologic processes and decisions. The meaning and intention of states expressed in a linguistic form engage anticipatory and consummatory references, intentional declarative processes and neurophysiologic decisions. From a systemic viewpoint, the meaning and intention of a concept can be formulated taking into account respectively state transition matrices which, given a certain state and an input specify respectively the next state of a system and its output. The meaning and intention of a concept are specified by a set of decision rules which allow its inclusion in the class of equivalence that specifies the concept in extension.

We will answer this question by introducing a sociological cybernetic model of searching and apply this model to the social search operations on the Internet. No one has to our knowledge developed and applied such a model. The main argument is that searching can be viewed as a complex social medium, which are used in all social search systems. It is showed that to use the medium of searching, the paradox of searching stated by Plato must be transformed into something operational. Further it is argued that theory of meaning is the theoretical basic of anv search theory concerned with social searching. Finally, the paper suggests a new anticipatory way of programming search software.

Meaning processing incurs on information processing with hindsight, while information processing recursively follows the time axis. The sole assumption of social relatedness as a variable among goups of agents provides sufficient basis for deriving the logistic map as a first-order approximation of the social system. The anticipatory formulation of this equation can be derived for both anticipation in the interaction term and in the aggregation among subgroups. Using this formula in a cellular automaton, an observer is generated as a reflection of the system under observation. The social system of interactions among observations can improve on the representations entertained by each of the observing systems.
