The dual nature of reality (ens reales versus ens rationes) is something that has been observed and studied both from the early ascent of quantum physics and, more recently, from the perspective of semiotics, especially as found in the works of Werner Heisenberg and John Deely. Semiotically, our rational perspective—that of the thinking mind and observing gaze—ens rationes per se—involves a collapse of quantum reality or ens reales in order to facilitate the creation of our individual Umwelts. This collapse occurs because the eye of the observer changes what are quantum waves into particles, thereby creating what we see and experience of this world (our Umwelt) as “real”. This is a topic I have explored before (see: “Signs of Probability: a Semiotics perspective on the Heisenberg principle” and “Interpretants and Thirdness in the Word of the Quanta”). Within this paper, I hope to explore this—one of my favorite topics—even further, illustrating its premisses not only by utilizing Heisenberg and Deely’s research but also by incorporating the research and thought games conducted by various other physicists and semioticians. My paper will be an exploration—a thought game in-and-of itself—of the different trails of theory that Heisenberg’s principles and Deely’s musings on the Latins have led us to explore.
