> Please give me a definition of "meaning" that can be applied to a human brain and not to a computer.
You associate a meaning to the symbol "dog". You think of an animal that barks, wags its tail, chases cats and squirrels, and is happy to see you when you get home. You associate something in the real world what that symbol. (That is the very meaning of doing semantics.)
The computer does nothing of the sort with the symbol "dog".
Please provide a definition of "associate a meaning to the symbol" that can be applied to a human brain and not a computer.
The plain reading of what you've written above is so trivially simple to implement in a computer that it is covered in every introductory algorithm course, so I presume you have either given a definition of "meaning" that is overly simplistic, or have a definition of "associate a meaning" that is substantially more complicated than a plain reading of the words.
