Notation and semiotics

Notation and semiotics are related to understanding symbols, signs, and how meaning is created. Notation refers to systematized symbols used to represent ideas, such as musical notes or mathematical symbols. Semiotics is the study of signs and how they communicate meaning, including words, images, and gestures. It examines how these signs work within cultural contexts to convey messages and evoke understanding. Essentially, notation is about the symbols themselves, while semiotics explores how those symbols function and generate meaning in communication.
