Abstract
This paper is inspired by B. Zeigler’s book [33]. The paper is just trying to emphasize the semiotic essence of B. Zeigler’s results. There is more to these results than further development of the theory of computer software, object oriented programming, and associated application engineering. The book is permeated by the underlying connections to intelligence and intelligent systems within the scope of their multidisciplinary semiotic associations. The paper should make this streak more explicit.
