Summary:

In Natural Communication kritisiert der Autor das derzeitige Paradigma der Komplexitätswissenschaften, die Ziele immer spezifisch in den Blick nimmt. Er schlägt eine Alternative vor, die eine grundlegende Architektur der Kommunikation vorstellt. Sein Modell der "natürlichen Kommunikation" schließt moderne theoretische Konzepte aus Mathematik und Physik mit ein, insbesondere der Kategorietheorie und der Quantenmechanik. Er abstrahiert daraus präzise Grundbegriffe, die zu einer terminologischen Basis dieser Theorie führen und die Möglichkeit eröffnen, mit Komplexität neu umzugehen. Der Autor ist davon überzeugt, dass es nur durch einen Blick in die Vergangenheit möglich ist, eine Kontinuität und Kohärenz in unserer gegenwärtigen Denkweise herzustellen, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Komplexität.

In Natural Communication, the author criticizes the current paradigm of specific goal orientation in the complexity sciences and proposes an alternative that envisions a fundamental architectonics of communication. His model of "natural communication" encapsulates modern theoretical concepts from mathematics and physics, in particular category theory and quantum theory. From these fields it abstracts precise concepts such as to constitute a terminological basis for this theory which offers the opportunity to open up novel ways of thinking about complexity. The author is convinced that it is only possible to establish a continuity and coherence with contemporary thinking, especially with respect to complexity, through looking into the past.
