sData is an abbreviation for Semiotic Structures.

As ordinary Data serves as the empirical foundation of Science, so sData serves as the empirical foundation of our individual s Worlds and Global Human sWorld.

Humberto R. Maturana presented a paper read and discussed at a conference of THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR CYBERNETICS, Oct.28-Nov.1, 1992, near Seattle. The paper's title was: THE SEARCH FOR OBJECTIVITY, or THE QUEST FOR A COMPELLING ARGUMENT. http://www.enolagaia.com/M88Reality.html In this paper, Maturana outlines how ALL of what we accept today as an empirically based science can formally exist WITHOUT the assumption of an external physical reality.

In a paper, The Fundamental Reality of Text, I presented

:at Proceedings of the 38th Annual Meeting,International Society for the Systems Sciences, Asilomar, CA.June 14-19, 1994. pages 909-932. http://ourworld.cs.com/larryvictor137/RelDocs/isss94af.htm . This is a long paper in need of editing and re-formatting.

I proposed that the empirical basis for Science should be Data, which can be observed by many on many occassions, and not the so-called external universe which can never be directly observed. What human scientists observe are Semiotic Structures, some of which are recorded (as data) to be studied at later times by other scientists.

In this paper I first present a number of related ideas that lead me to a number of my proposals for a Semiotic Augmenting process for D&D.
