Abstract
There exist two kinds of fundamental signs and significance-effects. A normative fundamental sign and a sub-cognitive fundamental sign; a normative significance-effect and a sub-cognitive significance-effect, also called quasi-empathy. The normative fundamental sign and significance-effect appear within the scientific knowledge domain, where there is a stringent terminology. The sub-cognitive fundamental sign and significance-effect exist within all kinds of communities as a condition for the normative fundamental sign and significance-effect. The aim of this article is to show how it is possible to suggest a normative fundamental sign for a community, which is — not yet at least — scientific and provide this community a starting point for becoming scientific.
