Symbols and what they mean permeate the seemingly practical subject matter of T-M. T-M weaves in and out ofmany disciplines and perspectives. Among established disciplines that of semiotics (see Note No.2) may come closest to explaining the workings of T-M. Communication, design, culture (in particular, material culture), and holarchy also participate in that explanation. Engineering and technology physically undergird T-M.
