code, n.All

Code is poetry, which says nothing about reading code, but poetry is also code, which says a lot about reading poetry.

A Code is a system of rules that would involve a fixed number of elements and that would exclude some combinations while allowing others.

A Code is the level at which meaning is transferred. Meaning does not travel from term to term.
