    So it seems you prefer to use the word "signs" where many other people are inclined to use the word "information". E.g. instead of someone saying that she is going to "gather information", you would prefer that she say she is going to "gather signs"?

    I'm curious to hear, where you want to go with this?

    I've only read the OP so far. Apologies if I'm repeating what's been said.
    Does the information appear in our minds when we read our PC screen? Neither would be the case, is my theory. We function as another reader who transcribes and in which effects arise in our learned language and in our cognitive apparatus that in turn affect us as an organism.JuanZu

    Surely there's something on that list you did not know a minute ago. The information is now in your mind, and it's there because you read your computer screen.
