I hypothesize that the meaning does not appear suddenly in humanity, but that different layers of coding and memory (quantum, atomic, genetic, nervous and symbolic) accumulate and become progressively more complex, with the symbolic layer being the most recent the "writing machines".   The second challenge of the text is to define the specificity and unity of the symbolic layer and, therefore, the field of human sciences. In contrast to a certain logocentric tradition, I propose that symbolism, while obviously including language, also encompasses other semiotics (such as cuisine or music) where the meaning / meaning rupture is not as relevant as for languages. The third challenge of this essay is to show that cultural forms and the interpretative faculties of humanity evolve with their writing machines. The emergence of digital, in particular, suggests a refinement of the human sciences and reaches the calculation of semantic complexity. This attempt to redefine the human sciences in continuity with the natural sciences presupposes an ontology, or a metaontology, in the words of Marcello Vitali-Rosati, for whom the notions of writing and memory are fundamental and which, in rupture with Kantian criticism, accept the full reality of spatiality and natural temporality. El primer desafío de este artículo es reubicar el objeto de las ciencias humanas (la cultura y la significación simbólica) en continuidad con los objetos de las ciencias naturales. Planteo la hipótesis de que el significado no aparece repentinamente en la humanidad, sino que diferentes capas de codificación y memoria (cuántica, atómica, genética, nerviosa y simbólica) se acumulan y se tornan progresivamente más complejas, siendo la capa simbólica la más reciente de las “máquinas de escritura”. El segundo desafío del texto es definir la especificidad y la unidad de la capa simbólica y, por lo tanto, el campo de las ciencias humanas. En contraste con cierta tradición logocéntrica, propongo que el simbolismo, si bien obviamente incluye el lenguaje, también abarca otras semióticas (como la cocina o la música) donde la ruptura significante/significado no es tan pertinente como para las lenguas. El tercer desafío de este ensayo es mostrar que las formas culturales y las facultades interpretativas de la humanidad evolucionan con sus máquinas de escritura. La aparición de lo digital, en particular, deja entrever un refinamiento de las ciencias humanas y llega hasta el cálculo de la complejidad semántica. Este intento de redefinir las ciencias humanas en continuidad con las ciencias naturales presupone una ontología, o una metaontología, en palabras de Marcello Vitali-Rosati, para quien las nociones de escritura y memoria son fundamentales y que, en ruptura con la crítica kantiana, acepta la realidad plena de la espacialidad y de la temporalidad natural.
