## Question

How does a symbolic map acquire lived or operational meaning?

## Formulation

A symbolic account can specify qualities and relations while practiced interpretation, imagery, or experience supplies how those relations are understood. A definition is proposed as a revisable boundary around possible cases.

## Tension

Giving someone a map and enabling them to use it are different achievements.

## Challenge

What additional encounter lets a reader apply a concept they could previously only repeat?
