::if we agree that there is NO subject and really nothing like the TRUTH of 
::anything then HOW can you "reproduce" anything?? In this sense, nothing 

Truth with a capital "T" may not exist but tha has nothing to do with being
able to reproduce.  You seem quite capable of reproducing our "scatches" which
we call "letters" in such a manner that communication occurs.

Also, whether or not there is a subject again has nothing to do with
reproduction.   ....  Well then again if there is no subject  can communication
occur.  I leave this quandry with the grammatarians.

::ever is imitation, at best, an interpretation and attempt to imitate. But 
::the interpretation part of it excludes imitation and allows us the escape 
::from thefeedback towards change...True or not true :-)

Imitation does not equal perfect replication.  Ad libbing, so to speak, is part
of practice, however, one's actions are not completely random they have meaning
and that meaning is understood by others.  Context is basically life for
humanity.
