...well, that there ^^^ is a not-half-bad example of what I was
talking about in reference to language. Symbolic communication [of
which language is an example] requires the definition and isolation
of particular concepts. These concepts may then be discussed and
placed in relation to other concepts [symbols].
...this is the method by which reality is defined. The data we take
in doesn't flow from discrete constructs - we experience a field of
input from which we extract pattern and attribute source. This makes
the experienced world and the conceptualized world different
constructs.
...our intentional action in the world is limited to those patterns
which have been codified. Intention must be directed, the arrow must
have a target.
...keep prodding, it'll all come out eventually.
