Bibliographic Details
Title: COMMUNICATIONS AS A REFLEXIVE SYSTEM2025.
Authors: HEWSON, DAVID
Source: ETC: A Review of General Semantics. Jan2026, Vol. 83 Issue 1, p81-97. 17p.
Subjects: Communication models, Reflexivity, Conditionals (Logic), General semantics, Signal processing, Telecommunication systems, Generalization
Abstract: The article presents a four-level communication model (physical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic) that emphasizes reflexivity, conditionality, and abstraction, and applies general semantics to map signals and contexts. Topics include modeling and map-territory relations, levels of abstraction and conditionality; and communication systems as signal-processing channels with distortion.
