"Code is a representation of some content that is formal in terms of semantics and syntax of the used language, regardless of whether it is serialized into a string of characters or left in the form of a graph, tables, or triples. It is the text. Simply put, text is a representation of language. How does informatics look through such a prism of reasoning? Informatics-in-small is still about scale where work with texts and codes is performed by a single agent, silicon or carbon - it doesn't matter. Informatics-in-large is when multiple agents participate in working with potentially vast texts and codes, and it's a rabbit hole in terms of disciplines. Through the ""language prism"", there are informatics disciplines that work with and study language in these ways: • Philosophical logic, which focuses on finding the most compact descriptions for connecting texts and codes with the real world, as well as expressing the connection between formal and informal languages—in which texts and codes are represented—with reality. Philosophy of language can be considered part of this discipline as well. • Cognitive science, which focuses on finding the most compact descriptions for understanding—translating texts and codes into internal representations in the human mind, and writing—generating texts and codes from internal representations in the human mind. • Linguistics, which focuses on finding the most compact descriptions for text encoding and code textualization. Yes, it is linguistics. • Computer science, which focuses on finding the most compact descriptions for transcoding these codes. Semiotics studies can certainly be included here as well. These disciplines are mature in their own right, but the cutting-edge AI field represents a synergy of all of them, often manifesting in unexpected ways and sometimes devolving into hype-driven ventures. Regardless of AI hype, this subject is fascinating. The way text and language function as bridges, extracting abstract meanings from the amodal ""thought space"" and translating them into relative reality, is truly remarkable and captivating."
