Interpretation

Definition 1

An act or process of elucidation; explication, or explanation of the meaning of the event or thing via the assignment of objects from the domain to the constants of a formal language, truth-values to the proposition symbols, truth-functions to the connectives, other functions to the function symbols, and extensions to the predicates, if any. The assignments are result of human logic application and are not native to the symbols of the formal language. Examples of interpretation include rendering by the psychotherapist the latent or hidden meaning of what the patient says, does, or experiences in understandable to him format; the conception of another's behavior; the establishment of significance of something; the result of EKG tracing reading.
