which looks almost non-sensical as a whole. Then, what will happen to us listeners? We have a dictionary, but we cannot simply sum up the meanings of individual words. That "a whole is more than the sum of the parts" is too plain a saying. There seems to be no grammar to which the speaker might have conformed. He merely suggests rather than tells the story, which in other words is implied or implicit in the word string. From this awkward symbology we can guess the story with varying accuracies, if we are ready to take risks. In this case, the meaning of such symbology may be said to be connotative, implicit, implicate or intensional, in contrast to denotative, explicit, explicate or extensional. Consult a [http://www.m-w.com/ dictionary] for these words. And, note that the more context of explicationunfolded, the less uncertainty of implicationfolded. Most importantly, note that thisinterpretation or fashionmaking sense of ''explicateExplicate in implicateImplicate order''Order, that is, ''aboutness in contextwholeness'' or ''wholenessin context'' is an outstanding analogy as well as the very principle of subject indexing as a prerequisite of [[information retrieval]] that has become everybody's everyday concern now! This principle's ''actual'' implication'' for and impact on a number of other disciplines should be ''unfolded'' if any. Why not ''unfold'' who on earth played an inspiring andor leading role in shaping [[contextualism]] in the spotlight.
