"infused by relevance" - that's meaning! And the "relevance" comes from self, from the red and from other people

Yes! It’s that interaction of self, other people, biology, and the non-human world that generates meaning.

self and "red", "other people" and "world" are generated by your brain's software, which is implemented as biology

Brains are certainly importantly involved! But so is the apple, or traffic light, which are not brains or software.

yep, the light is not software. The process of making meaning about the light is not exclusively inside your brain.

He is a great guy. I do not buy his mathematical universe thesis or his take on consciousness.
