I suspect that, if we are born, we already have a first model of physics, a few built-in axioms. As we grow older, we acquire beliefs that are only recursive applications and elaborations of these axioms.
I would say that, if a belief can be reduced to this lowest level of abstraction, it is a meaningful belief.
