What is the energy of a signal ? Take for example the striped cones which are often seen on the highways, the major roads of a country. They signal a no go area or a diversion. I saw them on roads as a child and they became an emblem of the road for me. The road itself signified departure, adventure, change. The striped cone therefore became a signifier of change.
