Re: Labeling meanings with numbers!
DD, I think this could rapidly metamorphose into a purely semantic discussion, but.....
You are using 'explanation' in a significantly different way from the one I would favour. I am certainly not saying that your way is wrong - after all you are the one defining it - but it jars with my interpretation of the word and its usage.
To me an explanation is an accounting of a process; a description of how and why things are as they are. In short, it deals, as directly and clearly as possible with what is. Your definition seems to address what will or might be. Now these two are related, but they are also different.
That difference, and the jarring effect of trying to fit your 'explanation' into a hole in my linguistic symbology, that does not want to accept it, are making it difficult for me to focus on where you want to take this idea.
