      *Coding has become the perhaps most elementary cultural technique of the
      age of digital media. Not only because coding is a problem for engineers
      who try to optimize communication networks and interfaces in terms of
      resolution, speed, and security, but because it is of basic relevance for
      what is considered as knowledgeable, perceivable, and real. When the
      government of the Spanish Empire in the 16th century was guided by the
      maxim *quod non est in actis non est in mundo

      * the codes and formats that determine what is part of our world are much
      more ubiquitous, and concern among others the reality of states, economies,
      and our sense perception. Coding in the sense that it is coding, on which
      the power of ontologies is based, calls for a media history of those
      operations which produce, and change the symbolic order and which turn it
      operational. In this context the paradigmatic shift to frequency phenomena
      in 19th century physics triggered a bias of de-referentialization of the
      signifier in mathematical notations, which led from Faraday via Hertz and
      Heaviside to Claude Shannon. Since the operationalization of the signifier
      by sampling devices and digital media, the ongoing perfection of coding
      operates against the backdrop of an encapsulation of the non-sensical.*
