some of you just wont get this, for the rest, good job...why so serious ( like batman)

Is it possible to be an elaborate encoder? By this I mean to use an elaborated code as the base for descriptions in dialogue. That is, to convey the idea of the communicator in many ways. Where he may become redundant, in his effort to describe an idea of coding. As far as whether its possible to consciously or unconsciously use a collective of ideas of the same original reference of discovery, leading to the why, which is how the communicator uses additional ideas to support the subject, by listing alternate points of view for the listeners reference. This passage severs as an attempt to define the texts use of jargon to define elaborated code. The text bypassed the referents denotative meaning, when they wrote: “conversation that uses many words and various ways of describing an idea or concept to communicate its meaning.” As the reader I took these symbols more concrete. Though later I re-read and saw how the text explained its important to belittle the listeners intelligence.

            Even when typing it out, elaborated code is difficult. However it can be of help or failure when communicating. Like in the sentence before last, you probably thought to yourself, oh he meant ‘not to’. And there it is again. Ive enjoyed this chapter thus far, though no one person or experience has jumped out that I can best relate the ideas to.

In the last c2o0m5 class, a mate drew a picture of the difference of physical and mental association with words. How a symbol like ‘hear’ or ‘see’ can be interchanged with a referent thought  like ‘sound’ or ‘sight’.

When I relate my personal experience, the referent thought is God. Then my personal symbol is Love. With god baring a more specific denotative meaning; all knowing, high power, universe, Jesus, life, death etc.; And love being less concrete and more airy or lofty; a feeling, destiny, sensations, timing, relationships, etc.

All this really means something and nothing at the same time. Its all just an elaborated code. The Something, is because of the human mental state and reliance on symbols to communicate and trigger thoughts that seem that seem to have some purpose. The Nothing is that most symbols represent something that has no true meaning, they just are what they are, and until the human condition allows people to open their minds and see that the answer is within, they will continue to rely on “SYMBOLS” to communicate.
