Sender-receiver systems within and between organisms [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Drawing on models of communication due to Lewis and Skyrms, I contrast sender- receiver systems as they appear within and between organisms, and as they function in the bridging of space and time.Within the organism, memory can be seen as the sending of messages over time, communication between stages as opposed to spatial parts. Psychological memory and genetic memory are compared with respect to their relations to a sender-receiver model. Some puzzles about “genetic information” can be resolved by seeing the genome as a cell-level memory with no sender
