That does sound a bit like Peircian semiotic so I’m with you so far as the general concept of meaning being a sort of iterative construct.

Where I don’t follow is how a bitmap approximation captures that in a semiotic way. As far as I can tell the semiosis still is all occurring in the human observer of the machine’s output. The mathematics still hasn’t captured the interpretant so far as I can see.

Regardless of my possible incomprehension, I appreciate your elucidation. Thanks!
