has participant process specifically dependent continuant material entity concretization-interpretation process For example, reading a text message that says, “It is raining outside,” and inferring that the words on the screen are meant to convey information about the weather. The pattern on the screen that corresponds to the words is the SDC, and the ICE about the rain is the GDC. Or, hearing your spouse say, “Can you come to the kitchen?” and then knowing that your spouse wants you to come to the kitchen. You have interpreted the patterns of the sound as concretizing a GDC about what your spouse wants. Or, seeing a drawing of a basketball player and inferring—perhaps incorrectly—that it is of Michael Jordan.

S. Clint Dowland Sarah Bost The interpretation need not be accurate. It may even be the case that the specifically dependent continuant has not previously concretized anything. William R. Hogan
