¶ Meaning
Index Entry
The new reliable understanding of meaning, however, requires the revision not only of semantics but also of their complex aspect as thought habits employed to describe experience with accuracy, such as the substitution of the already-discussed in-and-out for up-and-down; or the substitution of ‘winds drafting to the southeast low pressure’ instead of ‘blowing from the northwest (zephyrs)’; or the substitution of the word ‘realization’ for the very inaccurate use of the verb ‘to create.’ Man creates naught. If he comprehends in principle, he rearranges locally in Universe by realization of the interactions of principles.
