The message arrived. What happened?
Transmission, interpretation, and the capacity to act
A practical route through communication questions, feedback, and response capacity. The links between the steps are editorial questions, not assertions of historical influence.
Follow this journey interactively
Ask which problem you have
Did the message arrive accurately? Was it understood as intended? Did it change conduct? Compare the three questions in a real exchange.
Name the distinction
What did the recipient learn that they did not know before? State the meaning of information being used here.
Follow the return
What happens to information about the result? Who receives it, and which action can it change?
Check the response repertoire
Information alone does not supply time, authority, or possible responses. Examine what the recipient is able to do.
Include the interpreter
Ask another person to describe the same exchange. Differences in the accounts may expose assumptions the first description hid.
