a quantum word...

Many possibilities can be covered by the thought behind the word.

More words are necessary to define its use-at-the-moment-of-use to ACTUALLY convey the thought.

An impression based on your own perception of the subject.

When 'reaching an understanding' amongst a group of people, it is all sharing a similar perception of the subject.

In terms of listening... if you can explain to someone else what they 'know' in such a way that they 'agree' with your explanation, then you have understood them.

Plenty of people listen without understanding. Plenty of people think they 'know' without even listening.

Ah but with humans...

One must be satisfied with a quantum range of perceptions.

WE are like a beam of light... Which covers a spectrum not a narrow slit.
