ANNOTATION:
Expanding Meaning Through Productive Observation (corrected)

Fellow readers,
It seems that many of the annotations on this text,
"The Meaning of Life" appear to be observations 
that mostly point out flaws or illustrate negative
and subjective interpretations of the article.
 I believe that these responses are effective as a 
social tool for reletivising the theories
presented by Heylighen.  However, I do not think 
they are effective in expanding the overall grasp
of this difficult subject. 
This is a request to future annotators to attempt to
present their own ideas as fruition from the fertile
concepts presented here without using their disagreements 
as a foundation for their ideas.  Though I find meaning 
in the structure defined by the selective process of 
criticism, I have mostly been disappointed by the lack 
of value of these type of discussions.
Now, for my opinion, which, as you may have probably 
guessed, is agreeable to the ideas mentioned in the article
"The Meaning of Life" :
  Arguing semantics is not the point of
  any discussion on this scale.
  
  The author does a good job of defining 
  a set from which to create a system of
  understanding.  
  I agree with ideas that I believe exist
  beneath the specific definitions and 
  points of the body of the text.  These
  ideas are consistenly presented throughout
  the Prinicpia Cybernetica and the point
  of each concept is to explore them carefully
  and completely, as so aplty put by the
  author: 
  "The whole of Principia Cybernetica 
  Web can be viewed as an attempt to provide 
  a sufficiently extensive semantic networks 
  of concepts clarifying concepts (such as 
  "fitness")."                   
In conclusion,
The main idea that exists here is the phenomenon, 
or miracle, of the process of organisation
in general.  Pattern generation is a fundamental
aspect of reality and understanding the rational
or irrational generation of various patterns
within various sets and systems is, to me,
the knowledge of the nature of life.  This knowledge
is useful for observing metasystems such as space
and time and is useful for applications of 
practical microsystems such as finance, games,
management, and design.
Thank you for the Principia Cybernetica.

I thought this was to be an open discussion 
pretaining to relevant topics.
