"From a promise theory view, meaning arises in the observer..." #readingToday

Meaning and purpose are human phenomena. From a promise theory view, meaning arises in the observer, by a use-promise. There is no intrinsic meaning given by the things we observe, it is for each of us to decide whether we find meaning in what we see. Semantics are part of choice.
