Summary: | Behaviour is defined as the « signe-trace » of a “in- between” that is both external (that which can be observed) and internal (invisible). Nevertheless, behaviour can lead to commentary and judgment. This assumes that the commentator/juge is capable of sorting (of paying attention to few "signes-traces" among all that constitute the Other’s behaviours) and that he/she possesses a set of assumptions underlying the process that produced them. The "signe-trace paradigm" revisits the respective roles of the visible/invisible, seen/felt, reason/emotion in human interpetation. To the author, the "échoisations signes- traces" of two individuals can never be perfect, and as a result, man is condemned to miscommunication (a-communication).
