The NLP axiom is slightly different. It’s “The meaning of communication is the response you get.”
In that mental model everything that counts is what happens empirically and there’s no focus on analyzing a message as an abstract entity that somehow is.
“Messages” only exist in the map and not in physical reality. Sometimes it’s a useful abstraction but from NLP perspective (or even from what’s Korzybski’s NL) it’s important to be conscious that it’s an abstraction.
