It is tempting to try and read the pragmatic maxim as if it had the following form, where <math>C\!</math> and <math>E\!</math> are supposed to be a 1-adic functions for "concept of" and "effects of", respectively.

It is also very likely that the functional interpretations will not do the trick, and that 3-adic relations will need to be used instead.
