Dear Friends,
Namaste.
In modern science some believe that all life forms including our own selves are either mechanical machines or chemicals contained in a membrane enclosure. There is no theory in science which talks about the concept of soul (atma) and ultimate goal of life. Are we mere 'mechanical machines'/'a random accumulation of chemicals in a membrane'? Or, life is beyond the simplistic explanation that physical sciences provide us? We request all of you to join an interesting conference at India's one of the premier institutes IIT-Madras to learn more about this most important subject.

Figure 1. Two equivalent diagrams representing the semiotic principle of the irreducible triadic relation (ITR) discovered by C. S. Peirce (1839-1914). One way to define ITR in words is that it is a relation among three entities, A, B and C such that A determines B directly and B in turn determines C directly so that C is determined by A indirectly. The two diagrams are thought to be equivalent from the network point of view, both having three nodes and three arrows (or edges). The diagram on the right-hand panel is more convenient to type on a computer key board. The diagram on the left-hand panel is called the commutativity triangle in category theory, which is expressed algebraically as f x g = h, i.e., mapping f followed by mapping g leads to the same result as mapping h. One meaning of the commutativity triangle is that, if A is similar to B and B is similar to C then C is similar to A. *free energy-dependent, free energy being a function of energy and thermodynamic entropy. **information-dependent, information I being defined simply as I = log2 (n/m) bits, where n is the total number of possible choices available and m is the number of choices actually selected [5].
