Icon

An icon is a picture.  Icons cannot be said to be true or false.  They can be good or bad/ fitting or unfitting.

An icon is both similar to what it represents and dissimilar to what it represents.

For example/ a ray of light is an icon of the sun.  It is similar and dissimilar to the sun.

We can't talk about icons.  Unlike a sign/ the relationship between an icon and its object does not satisfy conditions of bivalence.  An icon can neither be said to be the same as its object/ nor can it be said to be different from its object.  A ray of light is not the sun nor is it other than the sun.  Icons are manifestations of their objects.

A world of icons is a world of contrast.  A world of signs is black and white.

Is it possible that certain things could only be shown?
