Information specialist Dr. Werner Gitt refers to the set of symbols as a ''code''. He says:
{{QuoteBox|A code is an essential requirement for establishing information. ...<br />It should be emphasised that matter as such is unable to generate any code. All experiences indicate that a thinking being voluntarily exercising his own free will, cognition, and creativity, is required. ...<br />A code system is always the result of a mental process...(it requires an intelligent origin or inventor). ...<br />There is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in matter.<ref>Gitt, pp. 64, 65, 67, 107.</ref>}}
