Meaning and Sense

Koan 60.3

All meaning is 'intending' thus sent: 'caused to go' that it might be sensed: 'transduced', 'lead across' toward potential as memory.

Summary Exposition

The central mechanism is the transduction of meaning, where an intention is dispatched from a source to be received and translated by a sensor. A single, potent example is a cry of pain; it is an intention sent into the world, but its reception is filtered through the listener's internal interpretive framework, which may transduce it as genuine distress, manipulation, or a call for help. The implication is that meaning is an active, communicative event whose reality is not fixed at its origin but is finalized—and often altered—upon its sensing. The ontological gap between intending and sensing is the very space where miscommunication, reinterpretation, and the plurality of being itself arise.
