Abstract

The article deals with two types of processes that cannot be observed directly and that are occasionally considered informational: (1) supraconscious macro-communication within societies and between them, representing unconscious transmission of average and generalized content extracted from a host of individual communicative acts; (2) micro-communication taking place as chemical reactions in the chromosomes of plant and animal cells. The author demonstrates that the expression "transfer of genetic information" is a metaphor: in fact, the components required for communication phenomena were not observed in "hereditary mechanisms."
