WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

  1. I understand your meaning.

  2. That statement is meaningful.

  3. That statement is true.

“…for the purpose of … ”

a) conveying an experience (allegorical)

b) conveying a causal relation (contingency)

c) conveying a premise for the purpose of deduction (consistency)

Note how we conflate these.

1 = a, 2 = b, 3 = c.

Truthfulness requires the satisfaction of the market demand for meaning(disambiguation), contingency(opportunity), consistency (deduction).
