Perhaps banal, but here is the reference to Dewey on joint mediated
activity.
MW refers to middle works, i think (!)

"Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint
action." - John Dewey, Democracy and Education, 1916; MW 9:20

This strikes me as very close to Wittgenstein, but perhaps that is
philosophical
naivete (too!).
