Describing Descriptors

 Norman wanted to tell someone something. But he didn't know how to phrase it. It was on the tip of his tongue, but unable to spring to reality. Every thought in his mind was jumbled. Like a puzzle, but with four dimensional pieces. Or five dimensional. Who can know?

But Norman did know one thing. He wanted to tell someone something. It seems like an arduous task. Strike that. It seems like a simple task. Just opening your mouth, vocalizing vocal cord vibration and voicing the thing. But when he tried it all that could come out was misconstrued, not his intent, not his idea, not his thought. Why is there a disconnect? Why is it not perfect?

Norman thought and thought and thought and thought to put his thoughts to words. He decided that the words needed to be written to map out his thoughts.

So he started describing what he was thinking. How the act of vocalizing vocabulary is inherently flawed sometimes when you can't do it. He put his pen to the paper, key to the keyboard, finger to the key, hand to the finger, nerve to the tendon, brain to the nerve, thought to the brain.

And he said it out loud! "Describing Descriptors!"

What is a definition?

It is a tool.

A way to understand.

A collective understanding.

And what are descriptions?

Etchings of echoes of what was, what was written, was was spoken, what was seen. What could have been seen. What was thought. What was fake, but shown like it was real. What is real, but merely a pattern.

And what are descriptors?

The factors in play.
