Ben:It's not just that we can CHOOSE the meanings of concepts from a fixed
menu
of possibilities ... we CREATE the meanings of concepts as we use them ...
this is how and why concept-meanings continually change over time in
individual minds and in cultures...
Yes. Good point. Generality/open-endedness of sign systems and creativity
are intertwined - "Creativity" here being used in the most general sense to
cover everything from the everyday kind, such as improvising new
bag-carrying hand positions, to the Edisonian kind.
