Signature

This monograph develops a systematic analysis of the concept of signature, tracing its transformation from a semantic and sign-based notion to a formal ontological and dynamicstructure. The point of departure is a reconstruction of its semantic field, comprising four fundamental dimensions: identification, imprint, structural pattern, and a differentiating operator. On this basis, the study advances the central thesis that a signature is not an arbitrary sign, but a structure that stands in a generative relation to the system it represents.
