Making a (“digital”) Construal From which perspective is the maker making the construal e.g. Agents? Constraints? What interactions and interpretations is the maker familiar with? Convinced of? puzzled about? What external subject does the maker have in mind when interacting with the construal? Script of definitions of observables with associated network of dependencies A connection experienced by the maker
