    it means “about the thing itself”

    breaking the 4th wall is meta

    meta data is data about the data

    metamorphosis is a change or “morph” about the change

      yep. more things:

      the “current meta” of a game is the currently winning stream of thought about how to play the game.

      metacognition is thinking about how and why you think the way you do
