Three Rules for Sense and Interaction

Abstract

Distinguishing the doing being from the doing doing, narrative semiotics traditionally recognizes two modes of interaction: operation (or programming) and manipulation (or strategy). Once the principles have been extracted on which these two configurations are respectively founded: the principle of regularity (of a causal or social order) and the principle of intentionality (decisional and consensual), this article introduces a complimentary rule of sense and interaction: that of adjustment, founded on the sensitivity (perceptive or reactive) of the interactants. To conclude the model, we still need to explore a last rule, that of the accident, that has as a principle risk (mathematical or mythical).
