Neat Book:
"Theoretical Introduction to Programming"
Bruce Mills, Springer 2006
Page 71:
"Many bugs arise from the incorrect assumption that the program is
imbued with natural meaning. The truth is that the meaning is only in
the head of the programmer. Pushing further, we find that the meaning
of meaning is ephemeral, and most likely exists in a single head, and
cannot be transferred even from human to human. We transmit only the
syntax of written or spoken word."

The quote makes thin the author is deep into existentialism. To
paraphrase him:
many misunderstandings arise from the incorrect assumption that the
written word
is imbued with meaning. The truth is that the meaning is only in the
head of the
writer.
Is the book on programming or information theory?
