• Legal codification, modern encoder movement emerged in the centuryXIX.
• Codification, which allows to convert the perceived elements into constructs that can be stored in the brain and subsequently evoked from short-term memory or long-term memory.
• Digital coding, process of converting a source data system to another target data system. It consists of the translation of analogue electrical voltage values that have already been quantified to the binary system.
