In many discussions the source context remains unformalized in itself,
  −
taking form only according to the image it receives in one or another
  −
individual MOI.  In cases like these, the step of formalization does
  −
not amount to a total function but is limited to a partial mapping
  −
from the source to the target.  Such a partial representation is
  −
analogous to a sampling operation.  It is not defined on every
  −
point of the source domain but assigns values only to a proper
  −
selection of source elements.  Thus, a partial formalization
  −
can be regarded as achieving its form of simplification in
  −
a loose way, ignoring elements of the source domain and
  −
collapsing material distinctions in irregular fashions.
