It is shown that labeling is responsible for a number of semantic and cognitive properties of the interpretative systems, a conclusion with direct repercussions for the study of the mind/brain. Finally, it is shown that the emergence of Label limits and directs human referentiality.}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.5334/opt.cn}, author = {Murphy, E}, issn = {2049-8128} }
