CODING
The process of transforming information from one
representation to another. Each way of representing information
is called a code. (Arbib) A notion which represents the
interactions of the observer, not a phenomenon operative in the
observed domain. A mapping of a process that occurs in the space
of autopoiesis onto a process that occurs in the space of human
design (heteropoiesis) and, thus, not a reformulation of the
phenomenon. (Maturana and Varela, 1979)
