A possibility is that which may (but need not) be
```python def possibility(): # A possibility may or may not be may_be = True may_not_be = False return may_be, may_not_be
def meaning(): # A meaning is its possibility return possibility() ```
In this idea, possibility() returns two states: may_be and may_not_be, representing the existence and non-existence of a possibility. The meaning() function returns the same states, indicating that a meaning is its possibility.
