biosemantics

Biosemantics is the study of how biological systems—like cells, genes, and proteins—assign meaning to information. It explores how living organisms interpret signals, such as chemical messages or genetic codes, to perform functions essential for life. Essentially, biosemantics seeks to understand how biological components understand and use information in ways that allow organisms to grow, adapt, and interact with their environment. This field combines biology and semantics (the study of meaning) to better grasp how life processes involve meaningful communication at a molecular level.
