given a body                                      by definition

this body…which body…why           defined…who

no instruction                                    impractical

wringing hands                                  observable distinctions

wrought with frustration                     observable distractions

[time]                                                  [time]

why                                                     synthesis

inherent limitations                             evaluation

the design                                           ethical concerns abandoned

corpus erectus                                   public

corpus directus                                  private

inevitable failure                                 indubitably boxed

[time]                                                  [time]

restrictions                                         breathe

what restrictions                                breath

placed on                                           controlled vocabulary

again                                                  natural language

restrictions                                         reference point

what restrictions                                referential

imposed                                             deposed

disposed
