DESCRIBE - EXPLAIN - ARTICULATE

If you can not see what you are hearing - what then are you listening too?; ~ Requote

Draft:
DESCRIBE: Verbally communicated visual message.
EXPLAIN: That which EXPLAINs it.
ARTICULATE: The Art of translating (relating) with accuracy & precision!!!

Anecdote: The best words in there best order (syntax) have eluded me or xxxxxxxx? However, The Principal is rock.
I have struggled for months over this. Looking at the words was like trying to look at atoms through a microscope; never quite knowing what your seeing or looking at. Eventually (par for the course), the penny dropped: wood for the trees jobbie. Stepping back (Thinking Takes Time) 2 + 2=5: Something Confucius had said; the result of a little known experiment by Faraday; . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . And I said to myself . . . . . . .
Anyway, looking at the words again (I’m talking concept hear! The words were employed to give expression to the idea, concept. That’s all!!!) , this time was something else; instead of looking through a normal microscope, it was like: a state of the art electronic one, amazing; the complexity. Hence to provide some degree of insight, I had no option (for me to comprehend let alone you) but to use of colloquial metaphors.

Draft: Newton’s Quantum Leap: A new Priori for Physics.

Newtonian Mechanics (The Clockwork Universe) It’s not that everything made sense, it’s just that the thinking was: That it did make sense & that everything would dovetail into the Natural Philosophy of surrounding Newton’s ideas. That is. Until Einstein. [Right or Wrong / Correct or In-Correct].

In the beginning (if there was such a thing), God created Newton’s laws of motion together with the necessary masses and forces. This is all; everything beyond this follows from the development of appropriate mathematical methods by means of deduction. ~ Einstein

[On Newton] His great and lucid ideas will retain their unique significance for all time as the foundation of our whole modern conceptual structure in the sphere of natural philosophy. ~ Albert Einstein

Physical confrontations related to insults and social standing pre-date human society, but the formal concept of a duel, in Western society, developed out of medieval judicial duel and older pre-Christian practices such as the Viking Age Holmganga. Judicial duels were deprecated by the Lateran Council of 1215, but in 1459 (MS Thott 290 2), Hans Talhoffer reports that in spite of this, there were still seven capital crimes that were still commonly accepted to be settled by a judicial duel. Most societies did not condemn dueling, and the victor of a duel was regarded not as a murderer but as a hero, his social status often increased. During the early Renaissance, dueling established the status of a respectable gentleman, and was an accepted manner to resolve disputes. Dueling in such societies was seen as an alternative to less regulated conflict. ~ Anon
