Method of meaning extraction:
(From a small scribble I found)
1. Empirical evidence: First glance simple estimate
2. Next we reach into the passive pool of understanding to figure out
What types of extra meanings can be generated from the empirical evidences
Things like the author's history certainly affect the meaning consciously or subconsciously
The author's preference in everyday affairs as well as particular "inclinations"
In art or towards the creativity of others
The confluence of events surrounding the circ*mstances of the creation of the work
3. It may be necessary to pull a second level of meaning out of the original
Empirical evidence without considering the author
