This article develops a biosemiotic ´hyper-narrative model´ for the purposes of investigating emergent motor behaviors. It proposes to understand such behaviors in terms of the following associations: the organization of information acquired from the environment, focusing on narrative; the organizational dynamics of epigenetic mechanisms that underly the neural processes facilitating the processing of information; and the evolution of emergent motor behaviors that enable the informational acquisition. The article describes and explains these associations as part of a multi-ordered and multi-causal generative principle of biological phenotype emergence that supersedes the theory of the arbitrary coding of life. Preceeding from narrative’s operations in a biological dimension, the article presents scientific research dealing with the associations of action-oriented organization of narrative information and underlying psychological and physiological dynamics and depicts the relations with a distributed multi-directional mapping dynamic. The article presents the explanatory implications of such a hyper-narrative dynamic model on an example of emergent motor behaviors – bruxism. Central to this discussion is the exploration of the possible mechanisms of emergence and etiopathogenesis of bruxism, based on its neurobiology. The article takes the perspective that complex systems dynamics themselves with a tendency to narrative form are found not to be underlain merely by arbitrary coded mechanisms but, rather, biological neural networks (e.g. neuro-epigenetic network) that render context-dependent bio-informational mapping analogous to that of the narrative possible.

表观遗传学和磨牙症:从超叙事神经网络到超功能

本文开发了一种生物符号学的“超叙事模型”,用于研究紧急运动行为。它建议通过以下关联来理解这种行为:从环境中获取信息的组织,着重于叙事;表观遗传机制的组织动力学,其是促进信息处理的神经过程的基础;以及能够获取信息的新兴运动行为的发展。这篇文章描述并解释了这些关联,并将其作为取代生物任意编码理论的生物表型出现的多阶,多因果生成原理的一部分。从叙事的生物学角度出发,本文介绍了有关行动导向的叙事信息的组织与潜在的心理和生理动力学的关联的科学研究,并描述了与分布式多方向映射动力学的关系。本文介绍了这种超级叙事的动态模型对新兴运动行为实例(磨牙症)的解释性含义。讨论的核心是根据磨牙症的神经生物学来探讨磨牙症的发生和病因。本文的观点是,发现复杂的系统动力学本身具有叙事形式的趋势,其原因不仅仅在于任意编码机制,还在于生物学神经网络(例如
