(as what explains how our beliefs can mean something)
The ability of thoughts, mental images, or beliefs to be 'about' something in the real world—like how the thought 'it's raining' represents an actual weather condition.
Syntactic density(a property of how art works)
The quality of having many small, distinct differences that matter; in art, it means tiny changes in color, shape, or sound can change the meaning significantly.
discrete(as used in describing sounds or events)
Separate and distinct from each other, with clear breaks in between—like individual dots rather than a continuous line.
