This article aims to renew the discussion about meaning in the field of psychology. A model is presented that, contrary to the classical view of meaning as an entity taken for granted, explains the dynamics through which it comes to be constituted, opening itself to the possibility of being experienced, as a psychological reality. The autoethnographic analysis carried out by von Fircks (IBPS 53(4):632-643, 2023) is used as example to show how such a model enables an understanding of local phenomena through the comprehension of the semiotic dynamics underlying them. Finally, this paper offers insights into the mechanisms that underlie the field of possibility of meaning-making processes, thus of human experience.

Human genes have numerous copy number variations (CNVs) and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that control most of the body's core functions. On average, 12-16 % of human genes have CNVs, and a single gene can have a few hundred to several thousand SNPs. Numerous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown that CNVs and SNPs can coexist in certain genomic regions, amplifying their effects on gene expression and regulation and disease susceptibility.
