If natural signs can be combined sequentially or metaphorically to construct absent sensory content, the expressive limit belongs to the artist's technique, not to natural signification itself.

Absent sensory content(as used in philosophy of mind and aesthetics): Information or experience about something you cannot directly see, hear, touch, taste, or smell in that moment—like imagining what a beach looks like when you're not there.
Expressive limit(as used in aesthetics and philosophy of art): The boundary or edge of what can be communicated, shown, or conveyed through a particular medium or method.
Metaphorically(as used in aesthetics and philosophy of language): Using language or imagery in a non-literal way to suggest a resemblance between two different things—like calling time a 'river' to suggest it flows constantly.
natural signification(Giles of Rome's semantic theory; distinguished from conventional signification of external things): The way a linguistic sign signifies its mental image, which is essential to human acts of speech
