NOT.Preface:3.2 - Translate, combine and improve notations

NOT.5 constructs a translation with the receiving question in view. It identifies losses, needed supplements and the limits of returning to the source. NOT.6 keeps several useful forms in joint use: it connects their referents and dependencies, then interprets an edit before propagating its consequences. A derived display value and an independently observed value can require different treatment even when they occupy similar cells.

NOT.7 locates an actual reading or editing burden, changes the expression or editing arrangement there, and compares both the intended improvement and effort moved elsewhere. NOT.8 adds the origins, frames, segmentation and available replay or enactment operations needed when signs unfold in time or bodily action. A temporal score can need the same formation, interpretation, translation and redesign methods as a static diagram.

There is no compulsory eight-stage process. Enter where the difficulty occurs. A translation loss can return to the original design requirement. An inconsistent update can expose a reference problem. A reading difficulty can require teaching a missing operation rather than another symbol. The working reminder for a longer combination is: Recover the operation; make references and interpretation usable; carry the intended change; retain useful differences; repair the remaining burden. The relevant bodies supply the conditions under which each continuation is needed.
