    Welcome back Joe. I am genuinely delighted to see you back again. Thanks
    Blunderov for husbanding this happy outcome.

    It would be great if we could get all the great Virians back. With Joe back,
    one in particular remains sorely missed.

    Kind regards

    True enough; information (meaningful pattern) does not exist in the
    abstract, as pure form. It must be instantiated (coded) in matter/energy.
    Even our 'abstract' thoughts likewise are encoded in dynamic energy patterns
    flitting through our neurons and synapses. Perceived pattern is meaningful
    insomuch as it triggers a patterned response (recognition/recall based upon
    relationship to past experience) in the cognitive neuron/synapse network
    which it reaches via the senses (vision, audition, olfaction, gustation and
    taction). All concepts are grounded in percepts, and recurse to inform
    them.
