CODIFICATIONS
CODIFICATIONS
TO STATE IS TO CODIFY A CONCEPT INTO COGNIZABLE FORM. TO RESTATE IS TO DO THE SAME. THE CONCEPT IS THE IDEA, THE SPIRIT. THE FORM IS DEPICTION. ONE WITH A GRASP OF THE SPIRIT, IDEA, OR CONCEPT, CAN RESTATE IT INDEFINITELY. THIS IS BECAUSE NATURE SUPPLIES SUCH RESOURCES. BUT NO ONE'S TIME ON EARTH IS INDEFINITE.
THEREFORE, BEFORE PRESUMING UPON ANOTHER'S LIMITED TIME BY ASKING THEM TO RESTATE A PRIOR CODIFICATION, KINDLY STATE BEFOREHAND WHAT YOU HAVE UNDERSTOOD THEM TO SAY; THAT IS, CODIFY THE SPIRIT, CONCEPT, IDEA, AS UNDERSTOOD BY YOU. THAT WILL ENABLE A MORE PRECISE COUNTER-CODIFICATION IN KEEPING WITH YOUR SPECIFICATIONS, AND GARNER AN APPRECIATION OF YOUR ATTENTIVENESS BY ALL PERSONS.
