Hi Dan,

Yes.


 Intellectual patterns, or meaning, arises from social values, or context.

Are you equating 'meaning' and intellectual patterns?  


 If we used binary code in a cultural setting then the above [binary code] 
 represents writing.  To me, it doesn't. 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. The meaning is there but it has been changed 
 from its original intent.

From my particular point-of-view, the context is always changing, sometimes 
changing more radically than others.  It's all grist for the art mill.
