Ontopoetics

Aside from human signals and expressions, ontopoetics also looks into symmetries produced by nature and the construction of imaginary situations by certain species.

Ontopoetics is a philosophical concept that involves the communicative engagement of self with the world and the world with the self.[1] It is also described as a "poetic order" that unfolds alongside the "causal order" in the process of the communicative engagement with reality and participating in it.[2] It includes the perception of cues or signals, or the expression of actors, as well as "the construction of impressions on re-actors by the deliberate choice of attractive signifiers that communicate factual or illusory realities".[3]

Ontopoetics is not considered a theory but a view of reality and an understanding of the world as a communicative presence.[4]
