Answer
Semiotics, the study of signs and symbols and how meaning is derived from them, was one of the fields in which Gregory Bateson's theoretical work intersected. Bateson, an influential anthropologist, cyberneticist, and systems theorist, explored the patterns of communication and information in human behavior and societies. Bateson saw connections between human communication, animal behavior, and cultural anthropology, viewing semiotics as a crucial lens to understand complex systems.
