1) According to Ivor A. Richards ("How to read a page"):
SENSE = GENERAL + PARTICULAR

9) As AE Berthoff says, "form finds form":
DEFINITION = GENUS + DIFFERENCE (Aristotle)
DEFINITION = BODY + SOUL (Andrew Marvell)
SENSE = GENERAL + PARTICULAR (Ivor A. Richards)
DATA = FIT + RESIDUAL (John Tukey)
DATA = SMOOTH + ROUGH (John Tukey)
DATA = BASELINE + CORRECTED (Baseline correction methods)
VARIATION = COMMON CAUSE + SPECIAL CAUSE (Walter A. Shewhart)
