CODING
The process of transforming information from one
representation to another. Each way of representing information
is called a code. (Arbib) A notion which represents the
interactions of the observer, not a phenomenon operative in the
observed domain. A mapping of a process that occurs in the space
of autopoiesis onto a process that occurs in the space of human
design (heteropoiesis) and, thus, not a reformulation of the
phenomenon. (Maturana and Varela, 1979)
The process of applying a code to messages stored in one form or in one medium and thereby obtain translations, transforms or rewritten versions of the original messages in another form or in another medium. Coding is often motivated by technical necessities or convenience, e.g., in communication processes involving technology. (Krippendorff)
