Words written on paper (like in a dictionary) do not define meaning. It's
the humans that read and write those words that define their meaning both
by how they respond to them and under what conditions they produce them.
Dictionaries are just a communication channel to allow one human to attempt
to transfer meaning to another human.
definitions
for the purpose of conveying a like meaning, VIA a communication system
I think. I agree tho, that it can only be the 'hardware' or a
mind-brain that
can lend meanings to those symbols or words.
A symbol cannot generate its own meaning, unless it were first
conscious,
-ie, capable of somehow processing information about its own identity
