10-2g You can’t extract the meaning from the words only, because the explicit (seen) is built upon the inexplicit (unseen)
10-2h Explicating the inexplicit amounts to knowledge, and knowledge is unpredictable, and never derived mechanically
10-2f3a0 The best thing to learn (and the best way to learn anything) is to learn another language
10-2f3a1 Speaking the same language doesn’t mean they share the same exact meanings.
10-2f3b Reading is about extracting the meaning from the words, and not about extracting words from the page
差異によって意味が生じるのではないか:
10-2g2c2 Human minds are capable of knowing what ideas mean
4-1a4b5a Maybe consciousness is seeing your thinking mediated on some other physical form, realizing that it could’ve been put otherwise (and optionally you improve upon)
2-1a Information is in the difference. No difference, no information. 情報とは差異. 区別のないところに情報は生まれない.
AN3C - It took Darwin a book to explain his theory but now it can be summarized into a paragraph
Learning human languages consists of constantly conjecturing-guessing the meaning of the words being used, both within the context of what can be seen (what’s been written-spoken) along with what can’t be seen (whole context considered - what can’t be spoken-written, i.e., understanding its culture). Both the seen and the unseen have meaning. That is, both are symbols (symbols all the way down). Learning human languages thus comes down to understanding symbolic relation between everything including what can and cannot be seen with explanations.
10-2g3a Everything is (or more precisely, became) symbol. Social values-knowledge-structures themselves are symbols represented by non-explicit forms (e.g., traditions and habits) interpreted non-explicitly (‘流れ込む情報’).
- Symbols universalize humans
- 10-2g2c0d Semiotics is a theory of how human experience grows by means of the mediating structures we create, and derives from phenomenology (philosophy of things we experience)
Meaning:
10-2f3a2 There can only be enough overlap of meanings between any entities (e.g., individual, group, society, theory, reality) — ‘ゆらぎ’
1-1a4c If you assume the possible existence of the ‘ultimate’ theory, you’d be assuming a meaningless (zero-freedom) world
1-2a1 Our ‘direct’ experience is also virtual because its meaning is conjectured and interpreted via guesses
10-2g3d Behaviors can be replicators even when its meanings are not (properly) understood, because we can guess the meaning of memes. For rational memes, knowledge is THE replicator.
