I’m gonna try going over certain quotes and see if I can say yes, no, or idk that something counts as meta discussion:

Quote #1:

> [@Atlas Shrugged Reading and Practice\[Dface\]](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/atlas-shrugged-reading-and-practice-dface/2001/19):
>
> > [@Atlas Shrugged Reading and Practice\[Dface\]](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/atlas-shrugged-reading-and-practice-dface/2001/18):
> >
> > Were you uncertain because “Hank Rearden” is two words?
> 
> Yeah, I grouped them when I was writing the tree, but then I was just like why? Why am I treating the two words as one?

The quote by me: idk. It sounds meta, like the quote is a conversation that is not a grammar tree itself, but is talking about the tree. I think maybe learning what meta means may help.

Quote #2(my bolds are the part I’m going to refer to):

> [@Atlas Shrugged Reading and Practice\[Dface\]](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/atlas-shrugged-reading-and-practice-dface/2001/21):
>
> > [@Atlas Shrugged Reading and Practice\[Dface\]](https://discuss.criticalfallibilism.com/t/atlas-shrugged-reading-and-practice-dface/2001/20):
> >
> > Whenever only “Hank” or “Rearden” is used in AS it’s actually a shorthand for “Hank Rearden”, they’re always referring to the specific person which is Hank Rearden.
> 
> I think the author made it easy to see she’s referring to Hank Rearden when one of the names are brought up. **I don’t remember seeing the name Rearden and being confused if it’s referring to his wife Lillian, his brother Phillip, or his mom.**

I don’t know. The bolded part just sounds like me not remembering if the author referred to another character as “Rearden” besdies Hank Rearden. I don’t see if it’s meta-discussion or not.
