How close a measure is to the truth. Distinct from precision, which is only how finely it is stated.

As things really are, not as described or intended. Actual is what a check finds when a claim is tested.

To take one from among the possible — the act at every fork, and the sovereignty in it.

Attention narrowed until one thing is clear. Focus buys depth by giving up breadth.

To find one thing that answers to another. A match asserts sameness on some axis and ignores the rest.

What a thing is for. Purpose is assigned rather than discovered, which is why a thing can be repurposed.

What an action is aimed at. Naming a target makes it possible to miss.
