The ALICE codex is an attempt to codify structures of comprehension that can navigate between two arenas: the physical and the imaginary. These structures aim to decipher our world and translate it into operational tools. What are these tools for? What purpose do they serve? Why is there a need to decipher, to understand this world? After all, most of us can live quite well in the realm of non-rationalised feelings, thoughts and attitudes, as long as we do not need to communicate and share them with oth- ers. Yet the urge for definition sits parallel with that of communicating with others, and both constitute a collective effort. It is only then that transmittable codes that a large number of people can comprehend become necessary. It is thus to operate collectively that we find the need for developing common and exchangeable languages. If we ask ourselves, then, why we do need to understand the world, one response is that we are aiming at understanding it in order to share the experience of living in it with a given community.
