This assertion is a direct contradiction of the methodological logic of the material sciences and the relationships between elements of existence and compositions of the completion of the representations from the parts. For example, in the synthesis of a graph or diagram. Indeed the referential function of the Table of Elements forms the formal logic of the atomic numbers by semiosis for each and every element in the molecular formula. Furthermore the syntagmatic nominalism of the material language reproduces the symbolic semiosis of the mind as the formal name of the physical substance expressed in the alphabetic symbol system, i.e., normal language of communication. This constraint on so powerful that both Japanese and Chinese texts use the western symbols for the linguistic elements of material semiosis.l. Cheers Jerry
