WYSIWYG

 * WYSIWYG

WYSIWYG or "What You See Is What You Get" is a popular jargon in computing. The seer and the seen are the two sides of the coin called seeing, view or worldview, which are practically the same. The seer sees the seen indeed in practice. Or, the seen is up to (the vision or perspective of) the seer. It is absolutely true that the observer observes the observed (sign of the world), and the reader reads the read (design of the book), as far as the personal vision or perspective goes. Then, meanings just ain't in the wordy design nor in the worldly sign, objectively or scientifically, but after all in the seer's (mind's) eye seeing the seen, whether design or sign.

Language may not so much be a scientific product as vice versa. By earth, ancient people didn't mean the round but flat earth, which was the seen or scene they saw unscientifically. By sky, they originally meant the cloud. By water, they may not originally have meant H2O but perhaps the sea as waters.
