Communication about how a message, relationship or ongoing interaction is to be understood. Opens a second level of conversation: participants can alter not only content but the rules and interpretations of their exchange.
Example
I don't mean that as an accusation comments on the relational level of what was just said.
Counterexample
A mere label without the described formal, cultural or conceptual movement.

Distinguish from Kommunikation; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.
Effect on thought and perception
Opens a second level of conversation: participants can alter not only content but the rules and interpretations of their exchange.
Resonance
Opens a second level of conversation: participants can alter not only content but the rules and interpretations of their exchange.
