To help me understand what you're looking for, please provide more context. For example:
* Where did you see this phrase? Was it in a book, a conversation, an article, or something else?
* What was the surrounding text? This could give me clues about the intended meaning.
* What is the subject of the text? For example, is it about computer science, linguistics, philosophy, etc.?
Once I have more information, I can try to understand the meaning of "in mean object".
