Yes; the difference between token and denoted concept. They are not the same thing (as René Magritte probably wanted to say with his "This is not a pipe" painting). In computer contexts: each representation of 5, in whatever base or language would point to the same element in a lookup-table.

But for us humans, the tokens and concepts blend to some degree: maybe not so much with regards to numerals (although there seem to be exceptions ...). So even if 'Amour', 'Love' and 'Liebe' essentially point to the same concept, we might conceive of them differently, ever so slightly, depending on the language we chose to use.

Which gives an inkling of the vast difference between computers and humans, at the current stage.
