The quotes you give suggest definitions are statements of meaning, not meanings.
... 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.
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*'.
