Knowing {knowing, meaning} can be recognition or association.
property
Properties are about something measurable, such as location, time, intensity, or sense quality. Objects and events have properties. Properties have relative values. Perception measures property values while keeping property natures or types abstract and separate. Sensation measures values but also assigns property types and natures, so colors, sounds, and so on, have meaning.
category
Categories are object or event groups. Category objects share at least one property value. People can group objects and events to make categories (association). People can put objects or events into (previously memorized) categories (recognition). Categories have subcategories and supercategories.
meaning
Meaning {meaning, knowing} requires knowing something about property, not just property values. For example, meaning requires knowing something about red, not just intensity value.
meaning: value relations
Perception builds property-value series from repeated situations. Property-value sequences can reveal functions, such as x = x + 1, and other relations. Value changes (gradients or flows) and value-change changes (accelerations or forces) can have relations and reveal property-value functions. By remembering and comparing property values, brain can find property meaning by transforming to new properties that can be parameters, by associating properties to make categories, and by recognizing category members.
symbol grounding
Symbol systems give meaning to symbols. Property systems give meaning to property types. Symbols have grounding when they associate with spatial or temporal patterns. Property types have grounding when they have spatial or temporal patterns. Property types depend on symbol systems with grounding.
