The Von Neumann Mind: Constructing Meaning
"Words possess what in philosophy is often called intentionality, after Franz Brentano, who applied this concept to the study of the mind in 1874. The word comes from Latin tendere, to stretch, and illustrates the idea that a symbol somehow ‘stretches out’ into the world, connecting with its referent."
