Learning. Listening. Thinking. Doing vs. Meaning.
That one thing about bringing in ontology and establishing units and unit operations—machines, is that it shifts our focus to the doing instead of meaning. Because for machines, it’s all about doing. Meanings can be meaningless for it’s all imagined by human—a very human thing. However, doings eventually elicit meanings. Example: By having written a book makes you a writer. Still, both are inter-dependable.
Also, there’s always context. Perhaps a doing, like, eating, is not eating in another alien world.
(Perhaps, there is a fundamental nature for all existence after all. The truth, maybe? Is natural science really only born due to a specific context?)
