Sigmatics is a term from semiotics and refers to the relationship between sign and object. This relationship can also be referred to as the "mapping relation of the sign as a" label "for an object".

While characters are encoded on the syntax level , pure mapping in the form of data takes place on the sigmatic level . These get their meaning in the semantics level, where they are referred to as messages . It is only at the pragmatics level that messages may have their purpose and are then referred to as information .

The mapping data relationship between the character and the designated object is a reference . Sigmatics is therefore the theory of reference.

The concept of sigmatics goes back to Georg Klaus .
