The CODE-X series catalogs a vast codex of source codes (aka “signs”) extracted from past audits.

Note that signs on their own, while sometimes interesting, only become truly revelatory and useful once they’re sorted into thematic complexes, and the complexes into codes, and the codes into a meaning map. We call this process “thick description”; the Code-X series is thin description.

“IN THE NAME OF LOVE” NORM: Don’t let pain keep you from being with the one(s) you love.

“IN THE NAME OF LOVE” FORMS: Amorous. Couples canoodling. Hearts. “In case your valentine has a ‘real’ headache tonight.”

From a proprietary 2019 study of the Back to Normal space within the Pain category (US).
