motion and meaning

Motion refers to the change in an object's position over time, indicating movement from one place to another. Meaning involves the significance or interpretation we associate with that motion—what it signifies or communicates in context. For example, a raised hand can show greeting or signaling. While motion is a physical phenomenon measurable through speed and direction, meaning is subjective, shaped by cultural, social, or personal understanding. Together, they connect physical actions with symbolic or communicative value, helping us interpret and respond appropriately to the movements we observe.
