The human condition is physical. Individuals exist only where they are held through their senses, their affectivity, their gestures, or their movements. Their presence in the world is always one of an embodiment in action. The body is a supplier of meanings at multiple levels. Information is a mathematical, universal datum, not a semantic datum. Meaning involves the ambivalence, the ambiguity, and the requirement of a context. The thought that handles meanings is not a place of data processing.
