Individuation and semiogenesis
an interplay between geometric harmonics and structural morphodynamics
Alessandro Sarti , David Piotrowski
pp. 49-73
The process of individuation deals with the genesis and the constitution of forms and how they differs from each other. Gilbert Simondon in his 1958 thesis L"individuation à la lumière des notions de forme et d"information (Simondon 2005) shows how individuation has a pivotal role in various phenomenon at a physical, biological, psychophysical and social level. The concept of form is often used in a synonymous manner to structure, instead, here it is utilized with a very different meaning. Structure refers to a codified, pre-existing form while individuated form is a continuously emerging reality.
