that symbol with the triangle and the heart? What does it mean? I think it's called a heartogram, but I'm not sure. I know HIM uses it a lot...like on those hoodies that say "I (symbol here) HIM". I also saw it on a My Chemical Romance hoodie. So what I want to know is what it's called and what it means.

,Phil

The symbolate
For example, a scepter[1], or sceptre, is a symbol of royal power. A scepter is an object which can be picked up and wielded, although it fulfills its symbolic purpose only if wielded by a monarch.

Objects have chemical and physical properties and behave in certain ways. What are the properties of a scepter? In practice, it is essentially a rod, with ornamentation; but essentially anything accepted as a scepter is a scepter.

An alien from outer space might describe a royal audience as follows: A human homo sapiens wrapped in fibers reflecting light at the high end of the visible frequency range moved an ornamented rod against gravity, at which time other individuals ceased emitting complex sound waves. A human would just say that the monarch dressed in a purple robe waved the scepter to silence the crowd.

What is the difference between these two meanings? Leslie White approached the question in an effort to define cultural objects, such as a law, a constitution, a marriage ceremony. All the nouns in the story are in this category: the monarch, the robe, the scepter, the language, the subjects.

The essence of a cultural object is that it is a token in the process of symbolization. White therefore defined the symbolate as an object created by the act of symbolization, just as an isolate is created by the act of isolation. The scepter stands for royal power, but before this act of symbolization it did not exist. It was created by its use as a symbol. We are conscious of the symbol, but not of the symbolate.

Symbolates are real objects. The act of symbolization endows the rod with a power it did not possess previously. Ordinary rods have no effect on audiences, but scepters do. However, the power does not reside only in the scepter. Its location is diffuse, some in the people, some in the king, some in the audience. Humanity lives in a world of diffuse powers and possibilities and therefore creates symbolates to describe and manipulate it.
