‘Consistency’ Means ‘Mutual Fit’

Consistent meaning-making is meaning-making that fits in the context of other meaning-making. Metafunctionally, this is experiential meaning-making fitting in the context of other experiential meaning-making: construals of experience fitting other construals of experience; logical meaning-making fitting in the context of other logical meaning-making: logical relations (between construals of experience) fitting other logical relations (between construals of experience); interpersonal meaning-making fitting in the context of other interpersonal meaning-making: valuings (of construals of experience) fitting other valuings (of construals of experience); textual meaning-making fitting in the context of other textual meaning-making: saliences (of valuings and construals of experience) fitting other saliences (of valuings and construals of experience).
