| | Symbol |
 | | A symbol, in its basic sense, is a representational token for a concept or quantity; i.e. |
 | | an idea, object, concept, quality, etc. In more psychological and philosophical terms, all concepts are symbolic in nature and representations for these concepts are simply token artifacts that are allegorical to (but do not directly codify) a symbolic meaning. |
 | | Spoken language, for example, consists of distinct auditory tokens for representing symbolic concepts (words), arranged in an order which further suggests their meaning. |
