Abstract

The model outlined argues that behaviors and meanings need not be studied separately. To explore the relationship between meanings and behaviors, communication is defined as patterned space‐time behavior with symbolic referents. A formal model for communication processes that explicates this definition is developed. These postulates are derived from some of the propositions of modern systems theory.
