Hello. You're probably wondering what's up with the numbers. Well, it's simple. That's binary code. It is a form of language, the most basic form of language using only 0 and 1.

Let's say, that was your message. Your message, which is the binary code, is like the STIMULI. It is an image of the object. It is the raw components which build your message. It has a lot of meaning, but no form. So your brain, is like this computer.

Computer Brain (ActMedia)

Exactly like that picture. Your brain is the computer which will DECODE the message and come out of your mouth in the form of words.

Word Grinder (DX)

Words are only the symbol of your message. It holds a form but no meaning. So these words are travelling at the speed of sound and your friend hears the words. The words are then ENCODE the words by your friend's brain for him/her to understand. The code is encoded into STIMULI for your friend's brain to understand.

Then there is this thing called NOISE. Noise is very evil. Like a computer virus, alters your message so it is misinterpreted. However, this noise is environmental or physiological.

Joshua cuts words (DX)

This is an example. Joshua here represents NOISE. The message represents the message being conveyed. See how he cuts the message with his sword? That's how noise interferes with you. It intercept your messages. (I think noise is more dangerous than Joshua holding a sword)

After that, the cycle is then repeated when your friend decodes a new message, such like the binary, from your brain to respond to your message. This is called FEEDBACK.

This concludes the basics of communication. It's as simple as that.

PS: If you are curious about what that binary code said, just google "translate binary" and copy the code.
