22.1 Pronomes and polynemes, p 226
Pronomes are permanent K-lines. They are long-term memories.
Polynemes are temporary K-lines. They are short-term memories.

22.2 Isonomes, p 227
An isonome has a similar, built-in effect on each of its
recipient.
A polyneme has different, learned effects on each of its
recipients.

22.3 De-specializing, p 228
Soon after learning to put an apple into a pail, a child will
discover that he now can put the apple into a box, or put an
onion into the pail.
[...] Converting polynemes to isonomes may be a potentially
powerful skill, but it must be adapted to different realms.
[Note: template-kind of generalization]

22.9 Pronouns and references, p 234
Eloquent speakers [design] each new expression to be easily
attached to structures already active in the listener.
A speaker can also indicate which subjects have *not* been
mentioned yet.

22.10 Verbal expression, p 235
"Re-duplication" theory of speech. [Want to communicate a
structure of mind. Build it again step by step in one's own
mind. Verbalize each step]

22.11 Creative expression, p 236
When we try to explain what we think we know, we're likely to
end up with something new.
[...] every individual can gain access to the most successful
formulations that others can articulate. This is what we call
culture.
