Abstract
Regular physics is unsatisfactory in that it fails to take into
consideration phenomena relating to mind and meaning, whereas on
the other side of the cultural divide such constructs have been studied in
detail. This paper discusses a possible synthesis of the
two perspectives. Crucial is the way systems realising mental function can
develop step by step on the basis of the scaffolding
mechanisms of Hoffmeyer, in a way that can be clarified by consideration of
the phenomenon of language. Taking into account
such constructs, aspects of which are apparent even with simple systems
such as acoustically excited water, as with cymatics,
potentially opens up a window into a world of mentality excluded from
conventional physics as a result of the primary focus of
the latter on the matter-like aspect of reality.
