Note: this is an example of using the P-Method of Disambiguation by Enumeration, Serialization, and Operationalization. This method of disambiguation, is analogous to finding the common denominator in mathematics – creating a standard of commensurability: measurement. It works in any and every subject. It is the formal logic of speech.
