-The first time I saw the description "Tower of Meaning" (I use a synonym "Intention Tower" for SEO here) the way it was described was probably in Three Bodies ([[Three Bodies 3 - Death Forever Part 5 Bunker Era 67, Orion Cyclone Arm of the Galaxy|https://www.99csw.com/book/3317/111962.htm]]):

-The singer didn't have much to complain about; survival required more thought and energy to be put into it.
+Singer did not complain much. Survival required so much thought and mental energy.
 
-The entropy of the universe was rising, the orderliness decreasing, like the infinite black wings of a balancing rook, pressing down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. But the low entropy body is different, the entropy of the low entropy body is still decreasing. The degree of orderliness is still rising, like a phosphorous flame rising from a pitch-black sea, and this is meaning, the highest level of meaning, a higher level of meaning than the level of fun. To maintain this meaning, the low entropy body must exist and continue.
+Entropy increased in the universe, and order decreased. The process was like the
+boundless wings of the giant balance bird pressing down upon all of existence. But low-
+entropy entities were different. The low-entropy entities decreased their entropy and
+increased their order, like columns of phosphorescence rising over the inky-dark sea.
+This was meaning, the highest meaning, higher than enjoyment. To maintain this meaning,
+low-entropy entities had to continue to exist.
 
-As for the higher end of this Tower of Meaning, don't think about it, you can't think about it, and there are dangers, not to mention the top of the Tower of Meaning, which may not be there at all.
+As for any meaning higher than that, it was pointless to think about. Thinking about the
+subject led nowhere and was dangerous. It was even more pointless to think about the
+apex of the tower of meaning—maybe there wasn’t an apex at all.
 
-Back to the coordinates, there are many coordinates traveling through space, like matrix worms flying through the skies of the home world. Coordinate pickup is carried out by the main nucleus, which swallows all the information that is diffused in space, the medium-membrane, the long-membrane, and the light-membrane, and perhaps someday the short-membrane. The main nucleus remembers the positions of all the stars, matching the information in dots to various combinations of positional patterns, recognizing the coordinates therein. It was said that the main core could match positional patterns from 500 million time particles ago; the singer hadn't tried it, it didn't make sense. In those distant times, the low-entropy clusters in the universe were relatively sparse, and none had yet evolved hidden genes or cleanup genes, either. And now -
+Back to the coordinates. Many sets of coordinates flitted across space, like the matrix
+insects flitting across the sky of the home world. Picking up coordinates was the job of
+the main core, which swallowed all the messages passing through space: medium
+membrane, long membrane, light membrane, and maybe one day even short membrane.
 
-Hide yourself and clean up.
+The main core remembered the positions of all the stars. By matching the received data
+against various map projections and position schema, it could pick out the coordinates of the messages’ origin. It was said that the main core could match position schema from
+five hundred million time grains ago. Singer never tried anything like that—it would be
+meaningless. In that distant age, the low-entropy clusters in space were rare and far
+apart, and had not evolved the hiding gene and the cleansing gene. But now—
+
+//Hide yourself well; cleanse well.//
