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 in networks of senders and receivers at all levels
of life. Information is transmitted, but it is also processed in
various ways. That is how we think -- signals run around a very
complicated signaling network. Signaling is a key ingredient in the
evolution of teamwork, in the human but also in the animal world,
even in micro-organisms. Communication and co-ordination of action
are different aspects of the flow of information, and are both
effected by signals.
