The center is a locus of attention that is both the cause and the product of signs. It is an agency (that human agency is modeled on) that is able to issue imperatives and of which requests can be made.

Origin

The center is the agency on the originary scene that repels the humans on the periphery from appropriating the central object and also compels them to issue the ostensive sign. The center-periphery relationship, or centered ordinality, that is constitutive of all scenes is modeled on this first originary hierarchy between the signified center and the hominid signifiers on the periphery.

Characteristics

The center is both inside the scene and outside the scene.

The center distributes.

The center is paradoxical.

The center is the origin of the community.

The center contains the collective signifying capacities of the community.
