Norbert Wiener on Code - Dictionary of Arguments
II 124 Code/Wiener: a code is a transformation of a message that can only be carried out for a specific meaningful message, while the encryption concerns only the letters that compose the message, regardless of the meaning of the message. Therefore, a published codebook is completely useless for mutilated incoming sentences or letters. A code is semantic, a cipher is visual or phonetic. _____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
