Abstract
Next step, the examination of meaning, especially the relation between meaning and fact. Is a meaning a fact? In what sense is it? Note that every “object” is largely a meaning, a construct, not a primary, elementary fact. But the meaning element, in contrast with the elementary-factual part (sensation?) is enormously greater relatively in human beings and their acts and products of their activities (objects of “use” or of “art”) than in natural objects. This seems to me, at the moment, to be an “important” lead. (Communication.)
