A substrate of some kind is assumed. The insistence here is on disentangling from (the terminological) bias of (the perceived) materiality, but it is nearly impossible to avoid semantic quicksand. "Symbolism" can be folded into a nice (less hand wavy) category: reality as a text that is read by a reader. This is of course a biased view but it is a viable starting point. (It is pretty much the basis of "Western" meta-physics and religions.)
