Meaning has multiple definitions. One of which is the sense of the interpretation into reality of an abstract concept. That is, if we are given a word, picture, or some other abstraction the meaning is what this abstraction describes in reality. The other definition is describing some value, purpose or use of some object. That is for what reason does something exist.

Nothing. There are no rulebooks or reference points. All we have is the use, a cache of usages, enforced by pain of exclusion in a linguistic community.
