| | Causal Relations | The relationship between two or more differentiable events such that one of them can (reasonably reliably) produce the other. \\ One event **E**, the //cause//, must come before another event **E'**, the //effect//, where **E** can (reasonably reliably) be used to produce **E'**. | | | Causal Relations | The relationship between two or more differentiable events such that one of them can (reasonably reliably) produce the other. \\ One event **E**, the //cause//, must come before another event **E'**, the //effect//, where **E** can (reasonably reliably) be used to produce **E'**. | |
| | Theory of Foundational Meaning | Foundational meaning is the meaning of anything to an agent - often contrasted with "semantic meaning" or "symbolic meaning", which is the meaning of symbols or language. \\ The latter rests on the former. \\ Meaning is generated through a process when causal-relational models are used to compute the //implications// of some action, state, event, etc. \\ Any meaning-producing agent extracts meaning when the implications //interact with its goals// in some way (preventing them, enhancing them, shifting them, ...). | | | \\ Foundational Meaning | Foundational meaning is the meaning of anything to an agent - often contrasted with "semantic meaning" or "symbolic meaning", which is the meaning of symbols or language. \\ The latter rests on the former. \\ Meaning is generated through a process when causal-relational models are used to compute the //implications// of some action, state, event, etc. \\ Any meaning-producing agent extracts meaning when the implications //interact with its goals// in some way (preventing them, enhancing them, shifting them, ...). | |
