Weighing in with Ingvar... (01)
If I want to describe an organization*, is it the people, the facilities
or the notion of an entity that performs some function in accordance
with internal guidance* and external laws*? The ideas in the guidance
and laws may be reduced to energy on phosphor or symbols in ink on paper
but it's the ideas that matter. How do I describe the idea of a design*
produced by the organization* that satisfies a customers mission
statement* as they compete in a economic marketspace* to reach their
annual goals* (02)
* = subclass of Concept (03)

When two words or terms are synonymous, then they have something in
common, their *meaning*. But one can just as well say that they have a
*concept* in common. When we simply speak about the world and are
immediately understood, we need not mention either meanings or concepts. (08)
But if communication breaks down, questions such as 'what do you mean?'
and 'what concept do you have in mind?' comes naturally. Also, if one
wants to talk *about the use of language* one needs the concepts of
'meaning' and 'concept'. (09)
Disagreeing with Pat and Barry - best wishes,
Ingvar (010)
