“…One cannot not communicate…”
“Human beings communicate both digitally and analogically. Direct language has a highly complex and powerful logical syntax [coding, channels, capacity, noise, redundancy and other statistical processes properties] but lacks adequate semantics [the main concern of which is meaning] in the field of relationship, while analogic language possesses the semantics but has no adequate syntax for the unambiguous definition of the nature of relationships.”
“In a communication sequence, every exchange of messages narrows down the number of possible next moves.”
