More broadly, it* reminds us that that information, or meaning, is not physically linked with the physical World,** but only meaningfully linked with the physical World. It is my contention that information or meaning can by its own terms of reference in concept or theory exist without physical media, even though its subject (what it is about) is (may be or must be – singularity or plurality – The One or Creation)*** the physical World, or rather the separated World. Meaning (or Quality, here, as opposed to Property) exists parallel to Property (i.e. Physical existence) and is neither cause nor effect of it, but may be about it.

Precisely the same argument, at a more applied level, explains why for all the physical correlations of schizophrenia #(including intriguing ones such as links with handedness and brain hemisphere dominance), a Quality of meaning, such as Love, may play a part in the transformation of the sufferer.

*[See last previous entry.]

**A philosophical controversy!

***{=?}

****(This is not Overdetermination – per Cussins, T[imes] L[iterary] S[upplement] [op. Cit.] – because meaning can affect property: like the meaning in light.)
