О проблеме значений во вторичных моделирующих системах
On the Problem of Meaning in Secondary Modelling Systems

Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the various meanings of artistic structures. The author's supposition is that the basis of the notion 'meaning' is found in the transformation of the code of one system into that of another, while one of the systems functions as 'expression' and the other as its 'content'. The relation 'content-expression' can come into being only when the elements are mutually equivalent. The article distinguishes between internal, binary-external and multi-external modes of transforming the code. In the first case an element stands in the relation 'to have a meaning' to another element of the same system. That relation is limited by the boundaries of that system. This type of meaning is the structural basis of romantic works. The binary-external transformations of the code presuppose a relation of equivalence between two (in multi-external transformations between multiple) elements of different structures. Those types of meaning are found in 'realist' and 'relativist' artistic systems.
