New codes can still be generated even when new philosophical systems are excluded

Evidence

There thereby emerges a somewhat different possibility, which has its kinship with this one: namely, what I will call the production of theoretical discourse par excellence, the activity of generating new codes, it being understood that in a situation in which new ways of thinking and new philosophical systems are by definition excluded, this activity is utterly nontraditional and demands the invention of new skills altogether. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 846

• QUESTION: If new philosophical systems are ‘by definition excluded’, what would distinguish a genuinely new code from a recycled one — and is this falsifiable?
