The symbol grounding problem raises its head in the fields of the philosophy of AI, philosophy of psychology and philosophy of cognitive sciences. The solution to the symbol grounding problem must account for the genesis of mental representations in the world. It has to offer a strategy for grounding mental representations in the objective domain. Orthodox representationalist theories do not provide a satisfactory reply to the symbol grounding problem. On the other hand, there are embodied-enactivist approaches that dissolve the problem but only at the cost of representations and internal phenomenal states. The code model of biosemiotics provides a biologically viable (i.e., mechanistic) venue for developing a new solution to the problem. For the same reason, it could reconcile representationalism to the embodied approach.
符号接地问题在人工智能哲学、心理学哲学和认知科学哲学领域中凸显出来。符号接地问题的解决方案必须解释心理表征在世界中的起源。它必须提供一种将心理表征建立在客观领域基础上的策略。传统的表征主义理论没有对符号接地问题给出令人满意的回答。另一方面，存在一些具身-生成主义方法，这些方法消解了该问题，但代价是牺牲了表征和内在现象状态。生物符号学的编码模型为开发该问题的新解决方案提供了一个生物学上可行的（即机械论的）途径。出于同样的原因，它可以使表征主义与具身方法相调和。
