This argument is based on the presupposition that the meanings of the signs come from the natures of the symbols in the heavens that we call constellations.
A meaning tradition communicates symbols of ultimate meanings.

Symbols that may have clear and unmistakable meaning to you or your employees may leave your visitors as mystified as if they were reading Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Symbols are objects that are manipulated on the basis of rules operating only on the symbols' shapes , which are arbitrary in relation to what they can be interpreted as meaning.
Pictish symbols are seen clearly on many standing stones, monuments and objects but their meaning is enigmatic.

A meaning tradition concerns ultimate meanings and symbols while the behavioral tradition communicates the practical embodiment of those ultimate symbolic meanings.
Archetypal symbols are rich with meaning and we learn deeper and deeper aspects of the symbol as we grow in conciousness.
We were asked to draw the Reiki symbols and then to explain their connecting energies to see if we understood their true meanings.

Representations and symbols free children from the world of literal meanings and allow them to use materials and their imagination to explore abstract ideas.
Decoding symbols and applying meaning allows children to make connections and construct their own knowledge.

The symbol's meaning can change depending upon context and the introduction of new symbols is not just a case of new words or symbols but also whole new concepts.
As symbols they all have meanings that are deeper than those which are communicated in explicit terms.
