Meaning and quantity

Admin1: There is a difference between meaning and quantity.

Doctor Gravytee: Alphysics is about experiment and quantity. Philosophy is about meaning.

Dr. G: There is no reason to discuss meaning. Any symbol means whatever we say it means.

A1: Yet, quantity and meaning are related.

Dr. G: Meaning is quantity. Each quantity is a single definition of a symbol.

Dr. G: Theoretical alphysics comes before semantic alphysics. Alphysics is science. Everything else is not.
