I guess, I made it sound more complex than I actually see it. In reality it’s rather simple — concept and its manifestation go together as software and hardware or mind and brain. But even that is misleading. To be completely honest, for me the sameness of concepts and their manifestations can be summed up in statements such as, “The meaning of life is life itself,” or, “All that is, is what it is.” Given the said sameness, you may argue that there are no “raw” concepts as such, but this world of phenomena obviously has some rules with the root causes setup when our universe popped up into existence, and they exist whether we, as cognitive units, recognize them or not. And just as a side note, some of those rules cannot be translated into symbolic/semantic form in a satisfactory manner no matter what.
