| Communication: In general, communication is the transmission of information between several entities (people, animals, cells) that are able to process this information. In communication, information is copied and not merely transmitted, since it is not lost at the original location. New information emerges where applicable in the individuals involved in the communication. The aim of communication is to change the information of a recipient. Human communication also includes the manner of transmission, e.g. ironic coloring of a quotation or the knowledge about the credibility of a source. See also information, language, communication theory, actions, understanding, frame theories._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Representation/Frith: the representation that I have of a tree was developed by my brain. Through a series of assumptions and predictions. >Representation, >Localization, >Spatial localization. Communication: when I try to tell you something I have my idea in mind and my model of your idea. I can compare both directly.

More precisely, I can even look at the type of error: where exactly are the differences between my idea and my model of your idea?
