Abstract
The way in which the inhabitants of a cultural landscape perceive their environment is not sufficiently defined as an object ofstudy. That constructive processes involve the use of mental schemes, scaling systems, rules and collective representations,which role plays in this language and systems of signs, and what is the information needed to design space and build placesto live? Are these just schemes and conceptual categories, or systems of rules and representations that organize the world?Where they are, and how are culturally transmitted? The question is about the meaning of such categories, from the point ofview of the cultural actors.We use an approach from the complexity, with elements of social science, neuroscience, philosophy of language and mind,to demonstrate that the landscape and built space are the result of transmission of cultural information through conceptual,grammatical, and ontological categories. We need to explain if these categories do exist in the minds, the language, or in theactions of the cultural actors, and too in what way this rules and categories are innate or learned.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
