² There are many forms which a new convention might take to provide for flexible variations harmonious with the theory of ‘corism’. Simple situations arise in which it is sufficient to specify only the core meaning of a generalized concept. Thus, the generalized concept discussed above, whose core meaning is ‘cyclical repetitive previewing, reviewing, and respecifying of sequential operations called scientific’ might be called ‘cyclical search—c’. In this case, the suffix, ‘c’, is intended as a notice that only the core meaning is specified and that the body of associated meanings is left indefinite. Such usage of ‘c’ might well be made conventional.

When a limited special core meaning is intended, such as ‘specifying and testing an hypothesis’, the special concept might be called, ‘search cs’. In this case, the suffix, ‘cs’, might be conventionalized to indicate a concept with a special core meaning and to indicate that details of authorship and specification of meanings are reported in a note bearing the asterisk. A scheme of suffixes and notes may be adapted to the task of achieving any degree of precision in reporting the unique body and organization of meanings involved in a given communication situation. However, ultimately, provision should be made for a degree of thoroughness in reporting the individual increments of meaning in concepts and the organization of that meaning comparable to that achieved by the engineer.
