'''Quick reading guide:''' when you see “{{def|this|ex1}}”, this means a new concept (DEF = definition) that will be re-used later. It’s important to remember the definition in its context (i.e., the context is the phrase that contains the definition).
'''Quick guide (IMPORTANT):''' please read our [[quick reading guide]].
 
Then, if you see “{{ref|this|ex1}}” (without DEF), this means a reference to the original definition. The reference can be another form of the definition terms (for example, {{ref|repeatedly|ex2}} would still refer to {{def|repetition|ex2}}). You have to keep in mind the definition (and its context) while reading the reference. To help you remember, you can click on the reference, and the browser will take you back to the original definition and highlight it.
 
The goal of the reconstruction is to make you see objective content differently, using just a wider attention span and sensory memory. '''If you don’t make the effort to memorize or at least follow the hyperlinking to refresh your memory, the reconstruction won’t be much more than a linear content walkthrough'''. It is not possible to read the reconstruction casually, because no attention was given to make that scenario.
 
The terms of the reconstruction are purely referential. '''They don’t mean anything if not matched to the content'''. To match references to textual content, quotes are provided. '''Bold lettering''' is used to make the match more precise. References to visuals are made clearer by picture annotations. For music reconstructions, you need to play the music. The arrows next to the references open menus that can be used to play the corresponding audio segment. If you don’t play the music, the reconstruction is just a long unreadable metaphor.
