I'm not sure what you're saying. These two ideas seem to be contradictory. Do you think meaning is intrinsic or is it assigned arbitrarily by humans?
Piaget talked about world views and accommodation vs. assimilation. Interesting topic; I think it limits your ability to learn new things if you only assimilate (fit new information to your established world view) rather than accommodate (update your world view with new information).
