Primes¶
- Abstraction in Art
- Abstract diagram and schematic language: using non-representational symbolic systems to convey scientific or technical relationships and structures, the kind of symbolic/notational system Goodman (1968) analyzes.
This sourceBobbs-Merrill. Theory of notational/symbol systems characterized by syntactic and semantic disjointness and differentiation; supports the symbolic/notational-system reference (inline, Broad Use).

- Representational Modality
- Medium properties (salience, bandwidth, accessibility to different sensory systems, cultural conventions) determine what can be expressed economically and what is lost or distorted in translation, as Goodman (1968) developed in his analysis of how distinct symbol systems (notational, dense, articulate) afford different kinds of expression.
This sourceBobbs-Merrill. Theory of notational systems: characterizes the symbolic mode in terms of syntactic and semantic disjointness and differentiation, making rigorous the structural conditions under which a sign system counts as convention-bound rather than iconic or indexical.

- Symbolic Representation
- Naming this third mode lets the analyst separate "the sign looks like what it means" and "the sign was caused by what it means" from "the sign and what it means were committed to together," a separation Goodman (1968) makes rigorous in his theory of notational systems where syntactic and semantic disjointness mark the symbolic mode.
