It seems to me that recent discussion on this topic has been running
around in circles.  First off, all communication is coded.  The types
that humans use are merely ways to encapsulate thought so that another
human might attempt to understand what the first human meant.
In order to truely 'understand' each other we would first have to
understand exactly how the brain works ... exactly.  Since that's far
off, then anything we do is but an approximation.
