How standardized must a code be to be useful?

Andrew M Riggsby. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

If, as it appears, failure of standardization blocks the rise of general-purpose ideography, then a more precise characterization of "standardization" should help illuminate aspects of the process. Comparison is made with several histories of standardization to outline relevant dimensions and thresholds. This line of inquiry is particularly important for the forward-looking question of whether such ideography can ever arise.
