Notes
1. “Term” points us to a specific defined Concept. A “term” may be tagged, with one or more tags, or it may be untagged. A “term” may itself be a tag or a defined Parameter.
The following are terms:
Goal (a Parameter, defined in Planguage)
Tag 23 (a tag, a User-Defined-Term, defined somewhere in project Documentation)
60% (a numeric value, defined by Scale associated with a Parameter)
(a Planguage-defined Keyed-Icon, for “Source”)
The following are not defined “terms”:
Summary of Contract (a paragraph heading)
the next person (a non-defined (not “capitalized”) phrase in the Documentation)
<improved> (a Fuzzy word, marked by Fuzzy brackets)
2. “Terms” as tags are used to refer to {expressions, statements and definitions}. They name Concepts, and give us a way to reuse a term in many places.
