Laila: This term was used on page 49 of Moreland's book. The term literally means luxuriantly many meanings. This term was used to describe objects and why elites have a problem with them. The elites dislike objects because there are many ways of interpreting them, showing their ambiguity; they thought this was bad because it gave ambiguity that you couldn't work through. This also gave elites their platform to constrain people in society - they wanted to do all the interpreting for them.
