    It's amazing how many non-symbolic things have secret languages.

    Standards, and arms obviously have a symbolic language, but in the 17th-18th century curio cabinets had a language about how the arranger saw the world, so too libraries and gardens. Imagine that! Your GTD filing is an artifact of how you organize the world ( time based, it would seem ) versus some other filing system.
