ABSTRACT
Semiotics is a study of semioses, or sign processes. Since any sign is about something, it follows that semiotics includes a study of all forms of awareness both conscious and non-conscious. Since being aware always assumes memory as its necessary component, and vice versa, since memory always stores information about something, we can also say that semiotics extends to all processes where memory is involved. As far as all living systems, including all cells, have at least some sort of memory, the life processes that make use of it should be studied on the basis of semiotics (Emmeche et al. 2002).
