What is Meta?
- Meta, an Extensible Teleological Apparatus
In philosophy, teleology is
the explanation of phenomena
by the purpose they serve,
rather than by postulated causes.
In theology, it is the doctrine
of design and purpose
in the material world.

Acronyms aside, Meta is a
unified
interface for
system
information.
Alternatively,
think of it as a convenient way
for humans and programs
to access a wide range of "system" information,
as shown in this sketch.
