Brian Skyrms presents a fascinating exploration of how fundamental signals are to our world. He uses a variety of tools.
theories of signaling games, information, evolution, and learning.
to investigate how meaning and communication develop. He shows how signaling games themselves evolve, and introduces a new model of learning with invention. The juxtaposition of atomic signals leads to complex signals, as the natural product of gradual process. Signals operate innetworks of senders and receivers at all levels of life. Information is transmitted, but it is also processed in various ways. T.
