The equation for meaning

 What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?”
Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time

Meaning is an interaction of expectations, context, memory, and given statements. 
-- Ray Hyman
