Summary/Abstract: At my doctoral defense in Tartu, December 15, 2011 (defending the thesis: Umwelt transition and Uexküllian phenomenology: An ecosemiotic analysis of Norwegian wolf management), Jesper Hoffmeyer was one of my two opponents, along with Dominique Lestel. The day before, I had belatedly been made aware of his coinage of the term ‘semiotic causation’ well before I mistakenly believed that I was coining it. At the defense, I acknowledged Jesper’s coinage, and we agreed that our respective descriptions of it are overlapping, and that the term deserves emphasis and further development.
