ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an explanatory model for the structure of semeiosis, called Solenoid of Semeiosis, based on minute distinctions of aspects of the sign and its categorical value. It is argued that such a model can both help us find the complete classification of all sixty-six classes of signs envisioned by Peirce, as well as show the evolutionary dynamism of semeiosis, opening the doors to a semiotic theory of reality that includes the study of Self-Organization processes. The chapter mainly deals with that part of Peircean logic which focuses on speculative grammar, or the study and classification of all possible types of signs taking part in the process of the representation and interpretation of whatever comes into our minds, either from perception or imagination. It is further argued that a semeiotic theory of Self-Organization must take into account how different types of signs relate to one another so as to produce what we understand to be self-organizing entities.
