Folks,
Answering to Joseph, I relate meaning to information by a systemic approach
based on constraint satisfaction that allows an evolutionary/bottom-up usage
(http://cogprints.org/6014/). So with this, a meaning exists relatively to a
system submitted to a constraint.

Folks -- Replying to Joseph, I use simultaneously three definitions
of 'information'. Thus:

difference that makes a difference
With these, meaning is inherent in any constraint as a possibility,

I think both have of common social value, and in this sense they are
not subjective (psychological), rather either personal (cf. Polanyi)
or objective, or both.

reference: knowledge refers to a wider or more general information

Dear Friends,
You may have discussed this question before I joined the group, and I am not
