I could go deeper into this. By "meaning" I meant already the "implying of 
relationship" since meaning can't exist outside of its contextual heft. But 
I'll comment about my own background on that separately, later, so as not 
to make the discussion too complex.

By "Direct", by example, I mean experiencing THESE FLOWERS in this vase 
here on the table next to me. By "Indirect", I mean looking at the 
Representation of THOSE FLOWERS in a digitised image that I uploaded to the 
net. This is NOT to say one is less than the other. In fact the abstractive 
art-process that results in the latter from the former may create something 
unique. But my POINT is they are not directly CONGRUENT. I find that 
process axiomatic--"direct experiencing" is close to a given, "indirect 
experiencing" is much more about construction.

This is getting a bit philosophical :-). But you get the idea?

Best wishes
