Could I, perhaps, express my point about metaphysics's being concerned with (logical) structure, as distinct from meaning, by employing Scotus's concept of the ratio formalis? 

Employing his concept, I could say that metaphysics seeks the ratio formalis of the experienced and of experience as such-in the sense of the strictly necessary conditions of their (or its) possibility. In this sense, metaphysics seeks, or is concerned with, structure, as distinct from meaning.
