"The third non-aristotelian premise states a view of maps as self-reflexive. This reflects the notion that we can make maps of our maps; we can talk about our talking, ‘think’ about our ‘thinking’, react to our reactions. It also reflects the notion that our maps serve as pictures of our nervous systems as much as they serve as pictures of what we’re mapping. In other words, we map our nervous systems along with anything else, so whatever we say says something about ourselves as well as the topic we’re talking about.

Thus, we question the common sense question, “What does that word ‘mean’?” The uncommon sense of general semantics suggests that we use the more appropriate question, “What do you ‘mean’ when you use that word?” Because the word ‘mean’ may imply that ‘meaning’ exists apart from a ‘meaning’-maker, we put it in quotes.

These aspect of self-reflexiveness leads to multiplicity in our abstracting and evaluating. Words involve multiple ‘meanings’ and ‘meanings’ change according to context, differently for each of us. We can call words ‘meaningless’ until we know the context in which they are used; hence the importance of the “What do you ‘mean’?” question."
