Homonym: meta (Self-Reference)
"Meta" refers to a concept that is self-referential or self-aware. It often describes something that goes beyond the usual boundaries of a subject, providing a higher level of abstraction. For example, a movie about making a movie is considered meta because it reflects on its own creation.
In the digital world, "Meta" is also the name of the parent company of Facebook, which rebranded in 2021. This company focuses on building technologies for the metaverse, a collective virtual space where users can interact in immersive environments.
