# Meaning Meaning is what something means. ## Meaning Meaning is what a word, phrase, action, relationship, experience, source, result, or being holds for someone. Meaning can become [[Clarity|clear]]. Meaning can be shared. Meaning can be misunderstood or confusing. Meaning can be compared across sources. Meaning can change through reflection, relationship, [[Action|action]], and result. In Joe's Mynd, meaning becomes more useful when it is anchored in a [[Source Of Meaning|source of meaning]], held in a meaning note, compared across sources, tested through life, revised over time, and turned into aligned action. Meaning is not the same as agreement. Two people can [[Understanding|understand]] the same meaning and still disagree. When meaning is [[Understanding|understood]] in the same enough way between people, it becomes [[Shared Meaning]]. ## Source Of Meaning This note is grounded in Joe's goal for Mynd to become a living map of meaning that improves language alignment, action, relationship, and well-being. ## Relationship Over Time This note should mature as Joe and Codex discover whether this simple definition is enough to support the rest of the graph. ## Links - [[Being]] - [[Source Of Meaning]] - [[Clarity]] - [[Understanding]] - [[Shared Meaning]] - [[Language Alignment]] - [[Shared Meaning Check]] - [[Action]] - [[Decision]] - [[Purpose]] - [[Relationship]] - [[Well-being]] ## Tensions Meaning can be treated as a definition, a feeling, a reference, a [[Purpose|purpose]], an interpretation, a pattern, or a relationship. Joe's Mynd should keep the root simple while letting specific notes clarify how meaning works in each context. ## Question What does this mean?
