Can meaning be altered without changing the form? How has human perception been shaped by the evolutionary process? Are there measurable, systematic reasons underlying art and design? Bringing together a broad spectrum of disciplines-from linguistics to philosophy, and from bioanthropology to artificial intelligence-around "Meaningform," a brand-new field of semantic study, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of perception from Homo habilis to Homo sapiens, its semantic building blocks, and methodological processes. Centering on the inseparable link between meaning and form, this book questions the formulability of the social sciences-much like the natural sciences-by building unique bridges between the intellectual worlds of Merlin Donald and Jean-Paul Sartre. It not only serves as a powerful interdisciplinary call to the academic world but also invites curious minds-who argue that form is the only way to transform meaning-on a fascinating journey of discovery.
