And wisdom consists of the life lessons of semiotic management. And within this semiotic context, information itself, the concept which encompasses the more specific levels, consists of signs that change sensibility.

Programming involves acquiring and applying concepts.
Concepts are symbolic generalizations of experience.
Similarly, other concepts can be organized in a hierarchy of varying degrees of abstraction. Using them we process incoming data to extract information, knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom. To facilitate our endeavour in this regard, we need an attitude of conceptual pragmatism. What we need to avoid, on the one hand, is ideological over-commitment. What is needed is a willingness to re-examine our supply or structuring of ideas in light of changing conditions or tasks.
