By now it should be clear: the conduit metaphor misleads and explains nothing. Appeals to pre-existing thought or hidden intentions add no traction. The homunculus is not a mistake but a signal of misplaced assumptions.
Relocating meaning relationally transforms understanding. Construal is not interpretation, language is not a channel, and coordination occurs through alignment within systems, not through matching mental contents. When explanation moves outward, the interior becomes unnecessary, and meaning is revealed where it actually does the work — in choices, situations, and histories. This series closes with that simple, powerful insight.
