Rogation

A sequence of directed questions leading someone toward an inference or position.

Explanation

A sequence of directed questions leading someone toward an inference or position. Shows questions as instruments of shared or directed inference.

Example

Is the source accessible? Is the figure already present? What, then, remains to import?

Counterexample

We should import only missing figures.

Distinction

Rogation organises questions into a path; pysma overwhelms with many unresolved questions.

Effect on thought and perception

Shows questions as instruments of shared or directed inference.

Resonance

Each answer becomes a stepping stone for the next question.
