    (RWL):  Sorry.  I took the 7-letter word "EPISTLE" (defined last time)
and broke it into the two 4-letter words:  "TEES" and "SLIP" (with "S"
overlapping).  "TEES" is therefore Technical + Economic+Environmental+Social
(with "S" or "Social" now including LIP = Legal +Institutional+Political).
(TEES is not "minor" - it is just a way to remember the order - which I
think is exactly your own.

    (RWL):    I think you are perhaps saying we don't need to include "LIP"
(Maybe "SLIP") within all the 10 matrix elements defined by your .  And this
probably is also true of many of the ten of your FCSU elements.  So maybe
the 40 separate "descriptors" I noted could realistically drop to only
twenty or thirty "descriptors".  We will end up with a better number after
we try writing a few of these.  There is still a question in my mind whether
"LIP" or "SLIP" should be just done once outside of the matrix.
