Bonnie and Luiz--

Lotman and others use the term "semiosphere" to index the total environment of meanings that constitute the cultural medium of human life. What might
the relation of an information ecology be to a semiosphere. It must involve the
conditions under which meanings constitute information (differences that make
differences in the semiosphere?).
