When a discrepancy exists between need for meaning and available evidence for meaning, construct meaning deliberately rather than waiting for cosmic provision or collapsing into nihilism.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Constructivist Epistemology (knowledge is actively constructed, not passively received) and Meaning as Receiver Construction (meaning is constructed by receivers, not transmitted). The lesson establishes that the universe provides no inherent meaning, but humans need meaning. The principle: construct it deliberately. This is actionable — it tells you what to do with the absurd rather than merely diagnosing it.
