defenitions point to meanings, but the meaning of a term can only be found by looking at the cognitive machines that use the term, and in that specific contxt as well.

… I am not especially aware of there being a functional difference between a “statement of meaning” and the meaning itself when we’re discussing what terms mean.
Anything that is applicable to a definition is applicable to the meaning itself. Any adjustment of the meaning adjusts the defintion. Any adjustment of the definition adjusts the meaning. When you have a direct correlation with bi-directional causality, that is mutual identity.

…
definition:
A statement of the exact meaning of a word, esp. in a dictionary.
An exact statement or description of the nature, scope, or meaning of something.
meaning:
What is meant by a word, text, concept, or action
Definitions are meanings. And meanings are definitions.
A ⊃ B & B ⊃ A ⊨ A = B
I remain lost as to where the paradox is supposed to be.
The quotes you give suggest definitions are statements of meaning, not meanings.

Have you read the cluster structure of thing space? Or the exponential concept space article? I recommend them.
Yes I have read them, and they are not relevant to the topic of mutual identity between ‘definition’ and ‘meaning*’.
