Meaning is sense stabilized within a relation.
Why this term exists
Sense can be present before anything has a clear Meaning. Meaning names what appears when Sense is stabilized within a relation.
Definition in the system
Meaning is sense stabilized within a relation. Something can have a precise local Meaning and still be senseless in a wider field.
Canonical boundary / operational note
A signal does not mean by itself. Meaning appears when the receiver stabilizes a relation between signal and experience. Meaning can exist without words; without a stabilized relation there is only Sense.
