CommunicationSystem
A tool encodes mental information into physical data, which can travel in a physical medium. A platform decodes the physical data into the mind of the recipient. Because all information transfer short of telepathy requires some medium, this model is universal. If I write you a letter, my tools are pen and paper, and your platform is knowledge of my written language. If I broadcast a radio signal, my tools are a microphone and transmitter, and your platform is a radio receiver. In general, my tools are whatever I use to make the thing I hand off to you. Your platform is whatever I’m counting on you to already have.
