Changes

Aside from the usual arrays of messages that a text is meant to convey, a RIT has something to say about the ''communication situation'' where it finds itself engaged, where it happens to fall whether the possibility of such an occasion falls within its original intention or not, and where it summons agents to fall in line with its images of things and its patterns of action even if they fail to suit the occasions of their invocations.  But more than that, a RIT can indicate the ''pragmatic setting'' where it has a call to be understood, where it is designed to evolve one or more clear meanings, and where it presses agents to render these meanings ever more effective in practice.
