[FRIAM] coding versus music

You missed the conditional. "Absent dualism..." what separates getting a machine to do something from getting a human to do something?  If you answer is "dualism", then there's no need to talk further.  We've been there, done that!

Because you're free to define *anything* as a kind of communication if you're so inclined. But it's not helpful and smacks of sophistry, if not bad faith rhetoric. Sure, that garage door opener I built from a raspberry pi can be *thought* of as a kind of communication. But really?!? No. It's a garage door opener.
