Abstract
In the fundamental research of communication , we need to address an epistemological problem: how do we connect the subjective phenomena with the objective existence? All phenomena arise initially from sensory information or from memory of such information ; in the cell, this includes information from the environment plus genetic information . Variation in genetic information is ex-ante, variation in cognitive information is ex-post. We know from cell morphogenesis research that there are two types of memory: genetic/physical and cognitive/symbolic [65].
