NOTHING has a FIXED definition of WHAT it IS. All meaning, reference, understanding and concepts of being, are CONTEXTUAL.

Without everything that exists AROUND an object to give it meaning, the object itself HAS no meaning.
Aside from your point that anything needs something else to have meaning, would you say that terms like "mammal" or "insect" are contextual?
