## Semiotic Theories of Information

### In Cybernetics

Semioticians Doede Nauta and Winfried Nöth both see Charles Sanders Pierce as having created a theory of information in his works on semiotics.[1][2] Nauta defined semiotic information theory as the study of "the internal processes of coding, filtering, and information processing." [3]
