Welcome to the problems of HumanML: the attempt
to create a set of categories of those things/types
that can affect a human communication. Turns out
the semiotics guys are waaaaay ahead here.
See "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". To
understand a culture one can study its artifacts.
It is a nice analogy to the middle east from
the perspective of the Americans.
Note that analogical discovery systems are essential
to the problem of choice of choices. Think case
building by precedent.

Ha! You (the consumer) are trying to read into what might be the
motivation for my (the producer) message (the data). Interestingly,
this leads me to recognize another category:
Category 6: Social Environment Differences
1. Social Context: the producer creates the data within a certain
social context that may not be shared by the consumer.
Example: A "flat" in the U.K. has a very different meaning in
the U.S. (This is not a good example. Anyone have a better
example?)
