Mechation
This site is particularly universal in principle, helping the world citizens to learn. Therefore, the simpler vocabulary the better. As a utilitarian who admired Jeremy Bentham in particular, C. K. Ogden deduced the Basic English (1930) comprising only 850 words so as to be easily used by them. This was welcome by H. G. Wells who wished them to be educated and integrated into the World Brain (1938), something like this wiki complex.

In this regard, neologisms are implausible in principle. Some of them may even do harm to the rhetoric. The term 'mechation' may give way to 'inorganic evolution' or the like to be more decent. Symbols live to evolve by natural selection, too, struggling for survival! The weak are ruthlessly weeded out. The worst is to reinvent neologisms synonymous to the existing, whether piratingly or unwittingly.

The Pirate Party has become explodingly popular in many western countries in four years. Such copy-leftism should be counter-balanced by, so to speak, 'idea-rightism' that aims to pay due nominal (rather than financial) homage to the original idea (or Platonic Idea) or conception. This is a must to establish the orthodox lineage of scientific paradigms, while weeding out too many charlatans disguised by private synonyms, contributing to maximazing entropy.

Signs and Symbols
Signs are whatever is interpreted, according to Ogden & Richards (1923) The Meaning of Meaning, or simply whatever is (e)valuated, of either nature or culture, in my view. So they include socio-cultural symbols. Animals are supposed to use or interpret signs and even symbols as per their primitive capacity. Humans have evolved just far away from them only to be too dependent on symbols to be free from lies and other harms. Evolution goes hand in hand with ever-increasing entropy or complexity.

Artefacts or creations also serve as symbols. Complicating the human community, either may be a curse as well as blessing, from the ultimate entropic perspective, say, toward death. Humans are destined to analytically refer their attention to the past experiences in terms of sign and symbol, and then synthetically infer their intensive intention or creative conception of values as well as more symbols from them. This is the way they have been evolving to live by in context. And they are getting more and more trapped and choked by their own creatures, perhaps including God!

Humans are either animals in a way or not in another, as suggested by the name of God. So many (most at worst) of them are schizo, suffering double bind. This single perspective may be enough to be extremely pessimistic about arriving at any reasonable consensus on human destiny. Furthermore discouragingly, the opening passage of the above-mentioned book (1923) includes the following quotation from Lao Tse:
 * "He who knows does not speak, he who speaks does not know."
