It's just a bunch of 1s and 0s. Is that your story and you're sticking to it? Those ones and zeros have meaning for me because they are a translation of a particular sentence I used as input into a binary translator. Groups of any sequence of eight 1s and 0s _suggest_ meaning to me, even if I don't know that meaning, because I have a distant recollection (experience) of their having meaning. That's my pattern (social or intellectual) and I am hypothetically sticking to it. > Taking a book and making a work of art from it changes the intellectual > value, wouldn't you say? Yes the context has changed, but I am not sure how you are understanding "intellectual value"? Gosh, I'm not sure computers still use those ones & zeros as on & off switches, but I do know that this particular series can be translated into a sentence with meaning. > It's sort of like a kidnapper cutting letters from ads and pasting them > together to form a ransom note.
