Signs and symbols siginify Homunculus*

* The homunculus argument is a fallacy arising most commonly in the theory of vision. One may explain vision by noting that light from the outside world forms an image on the retinas in the eyes and something (or someone) in the brain looks at these images as if they are images on a movie screen (this theory of vision is sometimes termed the theory of the Cartesian Theater. The question arises as to the nature of this internal viewer. The assumption here is that there is a 'little man' or 'homunculus' inside the brain 'looking at' the movie. The reason why this is a fallacy may be understood by asking how the homunculus 'sees' the internal movie. The obvious answer is that there is another homunculus inside the first homunculus's 'head' or 'brain' looking at this 'movie'. But how does this homunculus see the 'outside world'? In order to answer this, we are forced to posit another homunculus inside this other homunculus's head and so forth. In other words, we are in a situation of infinite regress. The problem with the homunculus argument is that it tries to account for a phenomenon in terms of the very phenomenon that it is supposed to explain.

Signs and symbols are non sense concepts

To better understand this please read EMAH

A sign is said to be something that stands for something else (sic).

A symbol is said to be a sign which has even further layers of meaning (sic). In other words, to push this non sense even further it is argued that a symbol means more than it literally says. (Signs are literal; symbols are not).

However, every object fulfills these criterion. Unless you're  a naive realist you will understand that there are no objects other than those made up by your brain. And not a single one of them corresponds fully to an other individual's view on the matter. Ask Wittgenstein!
