to a systemic definition of a meaning for a system submitted to a constraint
that receives an information from an entity of its environment:” A meaning is a
meaningful information that is created by a system submitted to a constraint
when it receives an incident information that has a connection with the
constraint. The meaning is formed of the connection existing between the
received information and the constraint of the system. The function of the
meaningful information is to participate to the determination
of an action that will be implemented in order to satisfy
the constraint of the system”. This definition of a meaning tells what the meaning
is and what the meaning is for. </span></i><i><span style="font-family:Roboto;color:black"><span></span></span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:107%">The
concept is wholly supported by what the numbers tell us. (In ancient times, it
was the flight of eagles that supported or not a hypothesis, today we are more
advanced and no less useful, practical and wise.)<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:107%">The
concept of the meaning that there is something that an occurrence refers to, is
in relation with. In Christophe’s example above, the change in properties oft he
surroundings of the assembly (a drop of acid into the habitat) refers to a
physiological – ideal – state which has been changed. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:107%">The
general concept of ideal state, ideal arrangement, ideal balance, ideal cooperation, etc. can be seen in planar
geometry by the places and properties of <i>two
central elements. </i>The central elements become visible to the naked eye if
one reorders some realizations of <i>a+b=c </i>into
some other orders. (Eg. Reorder between sorting orders [a+b,b] </span><span style="line-height:107%">↔</span><span style="line-height:107%"> [b-2a,a-2b].)<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:107%">There
exists an inbuilt reference system in which all appearances are somehow different
to each other in a gradable fashion. There exist two relative Zeroes of being
in any way different to the absolutely average member of the assembly. <span></span></span></p>
