Correction: Cabrera et al. Distinctions Organize Information in Mind and Nature: Empirical Findings of Identity-Other Distinctions (D) in Cognitive and Material Complexity. Systems 2022, 10, 41

Missing Citation

In the original publication [1], [96] was not cited. The citation has now been inserted in Section 1.2, Paragraph 13 and should read:

Whether the identity is visual, linguistic, even self-identity, or otherwise, a thing gets its identity not merely from itself or its existential qualities, but also from its relationship to others. “We are reminded of the Zulu greeting, “Sawubona”, which means “I see you” and the response “Ngikhona”, which means “I am here”. As always, when translating from one language to another, crucial subtleties are lost. Inherent in the Zulu greeting and grateful response is the sense that until you saw me, I did not exist. By recognizing me, you brought me into existence” [96]. A Zulu folk saying clarifies this, “Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”, meaning “A person is a person because of other people”. This reinforces the notion that identity and other mutually define one another. Additionally, the i/o structure of distinctions exists across all of our sensory inputs in which we receive information: visually, aurally, linguistically, orally, and olfactorily. While we know that distinctions are made across all of our senses, the extent to which we are aware of the distinctions we make is equally relevant to explore. In other words, it is simply not enough to make distinctions in numerous ways, it also matters whether or not we are aware that we are making them.
