Potential terms for review - the biosemiotic glossary project

In the context of the ongoing survey in the biosemiotic community partaking in the biosemiotic glossary project (see below), I thought I could share the terms we in the editorial team have listed as potential terms for review. In alphabetical order, these are:
causation + semiotic causation + downward causation
code
cognition
communication
evolution
function
information
interpretation
intentionality + goal
learning
life
mind + perception
organism
niche + semiotic niche
ritualization
semiotic emergence
semiotic freedom
semiotic threshold
sign + semiosis + biosemiosis
signal
species + species-specific
subject + subjectivity
Umwelt (+ Innenwelt?)
As part of the survey, which is conducted until December 15th 2013, respondents are invited to suggest terms to review.
