Note 50

Meaning is contextual; context is specific to a perspective; perspective is grounded in categorical frames; categorical frames are given to a species; hence meaning is sited within a form of life.

Underlying this is the assumption of representation constituting the ground of meaning on the basis of its appearing to. But in what sense?

But what is referred to is represented meaning; which by definition requires representation. 

But the ground of represented meaning, by inaccessibility, cannot be represented. Hence it cannot be constituted by representation. And represented meaning cannot be groundless.
