Pontederia Marsh: People Generate Code, Loving Bliss Code, Physician's Code, Culture

People generate code. We write and speak. The way we engage the world or not (John Money's adhibition, inhibition, explication (1988)), are expressions of code generation. Taken as a whole, I think people as individual bodyminds can be seen as unique code generators. Reduction to a word of what this code is seems impossible because people are complex, multifaceted and generate a lot of words and symbols in the course their lives, but patterns emerge. And subjectivity, as in anthropology too, might make an objective characterization of what code a particular individual generates challenging.

Yet if someone, for example, generates 'loving code,' or 'loving bliss code,' or 'medical doctor code,' or 'physicist's code,' (these latter can be tested, for example) and a group of people agree that this is the case, and possibly reciprocate, I think specific kinds of code generation are occurring {e.g. in communities, subcultures, discourses). Is this 'culture' in the reciprocation, particularly? Code generation, for me, includes symbol generation, but I'm more interested in conceiving of code generation as a whole vis-a-vis individuals.
