   It's compatible with formalisms of artificial intelligence which   
   formalises aspects of intelligent agents including representation   
   inference and conveyance of meaning.   
      
   Formal Systems do not have meaning beyond the link between symbolisms   
   and their roles in the general concept of a formal system and that which   
   their users might infer intelligently. Meaning is associated naturally   
   and I attempt to exclude that error by posting about philosophy of meaning.
