What is the antecedent of "that" in "what these terms could signify that..."? It seems to me "what" is the antecedent. But I am not sure.
Thanks in advance

It doesn’t mean there is a difference in reality.” <...> They also use words like “love” and “happiness,” from time to time, but we should wonder what these terms could signify that does not entail a preference for the Good Life over the Bad Life. Anyone who claims to see no difference between these two states of being (and their concomitant worlds), should be just as likely to consign himself and those he “loves” to one or the other at random and call the result “happiness.”
