Asemics | Polysemics versus Obfuscated Code / EZE, 2021

Asemics | Polysemics versus Obfuscated Code


Here are a few links to help you build a map from asemics | polysemics to obfuscated code. The focus in this post is on obfuscated code. 

One potential difference between asemics and obfuscated code is that asemics often vacates meaning while obfuscated code actually serves as code, but it appears as gibberish (as meaningless or as random). 

And one potential difference between polysemics and obfuscated code is that polysemics, rather than vacate meaning, has a non-final meaning because its multiplicity of meanings short circuits conclusion while obfuscated code (as code for esoteric programming languages) that does not appear as gibberish often appears as something other than code, i.e., perhaps, as a recipe for a cake, and yet, actually serves as code.
