===Examples===
In the present case, one can observe the possibility that the author is suggesting the following analogies:
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal">
<li><p>One analogy says that authoring a text is like piloting a vehicle. This can be written in either one of two ways.</p></li>
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha">
<li><p>Poet / Poem = Pilot / Boat.</p></li>
<li><p>Poet / Pilot = Poem / Boat.</p></li>
<li><p>Pilot / Poet = Boat / Poem.</p></li>
</ol>
<li>…</li>
</ol>
In this way, an epitext can serve a couple of functions within a text:
<ol style="list-style-type:decimal">
<li><p>The epitext maintains an internal model of the informal context, the actual, intended, or likely "context of interpretation" (COI), or the typical "situation of communication" (SOC) that prevails in a given society of interpretive agents. It does this by preserving a constant but gentle reminder of the type of text that ultimately demands to be understood within this social context. In other words, it represents its social context in terms of its ideals, [??? the expectation that contains it dialogue between the epitext helps to provides an image of the dialogue that ???]</p></li>
<li><p>The epitext and the text are in a relation, analogous to a dialogue, that mirrors the relation of the text itself to its casual, informal, or social context. In general, the analogy can be set up in either one of two ways, and can shift its sense from moment to moment:</p></li>
<ol style="list-style-type:lower-latin">
<li><p>Epitext : Text :: Context : Text. Here, the epitext plays the part of common expectations, generic ideals, or social norms that are invoked in the process of communication.</p></li>
<li><p>Epitext : Text :: Text : Context. Here, the epitext gives vent to the individual conceits, idiosyncratic caprices, or whims of the moment that are stirred up by the process of communication.</p></li>
</ol></ol>
