I think I see what you mean Mike, but doesn't the formulation externalize
the observer-(human mind)- from the embodied-meaning: defining meaning as
in the residue of prior human activity embodied in artifacts etc. is true
BECAUSE there is still-always human activity thriving in and upon those
residues: meanings are in the system of humans&artifacts -- recyclings of
residues... WE are IN the compost heap of meaning, so to speak.
