“The practice is the transposition of a sample from one field to another, in such a way that the fields are converted into elements appropriable by the practice.”
“The practice is to operationalize the meanings you encounter (as, e.g., in calling something “hard” means a certain kind and degree of force would be needed to alter its surface) and elicit the stack of scenes and grammatical stack that would make the sample meaningful, or more meaningful, or put on the path toward meaning.”
