Symbols and causal connections insufficient
Symbols and causal connections aren't sufficient to produce meaning (or intentionality). If there's meaning in a system, it can only be because there's more to the system than just the fact of a symbol and the fact of a causal connection.
John Searle 1980a, 1980b, 1990b.
