Talk:Meaning of Text

A Definition of Text (and a trial run for our Wiki)

Daybert and I have been working on this one (I = Matt Brown)

Text: oral tradition, writing or art that can be sensed but not necessarily understood or interpreted. It requires an author function (creator) and a reader function (audience) but these roles can be filled by the same subject. As there is no objective definition for "art," we've devised one that seems to exclude and include as necessary.

Art: the author function's interpretation of the world through mediums other than writing regardless of cultural aesthetic value.
