A problem I had when I read Of Grammatology several years ago was precisely that of Speech being nearly-congruous with Thought. It seems to me that this is simplistic and that Thought is but the first level of the codification of stimuli/responses and that is where the issue of Presence might need to be grounded. Just not convinced that Speech is any closer than Writing to Thought.
You are aware that Derrida is not arguing that it is? Quite the contrary. That is his whole point.
But that's a topic for another time, perhaps after I re-read a few texts to make sure I'm not misremembering or misunderstanding anything after five years' interval

First, you'd need to know about signifiers and the signified to understand Derrida's position

I had to be familiar with Derrida, Foucault, Barthes, and Lacan in grad school

Also, the few science articles I've read were very comprehensible, albeit with difficult terminology *NM*
