Hi Chris,
This is all very interesting hypothesis generation. Let me ask you a couple of 
scientific questions.

Have you one shred of evidence for the movement of anything at the neuron level 
that corresponds to meaning? Can you point to one electron microscope image 
that correlates with anything seen on an electroencephalogram and correlates 
with the person claiming just at that instant to have achieved a new meaning? 
And what has been done to rule out any competing hypotheses - a la Popper?

This discussion about the emergence of meaning can take one of two paths. You 
have chosen what I'ld call the psychologistic and medical science one. What 
happens to 'symbolic interaction'? - ie, the notion that meaning emerges from 
interaction and negotiation and is therefore always in a state of flux - no 
matter whose neurons are engaged?

Brian.
