A method to make oneself aware of certain things one was not aware of until one began speaking to oneself or others (and preferably recorded what one said) about something (to be able to analyze it).
Speaking extemporaneously to myself and audio-recording it has helped me realize certain things I was not aware of until I said them. That process is called "speaking to discover".

Thoughts, actions, procedures, and mechanisms that study, find and disseminate ways to prevent pain, often by preventing a specific error from recurring. Conflict resolution is one of many pain prevention methods.
The fear of feeling pain, and the need to not feel it, move people to analyze errors to find error-preventing methods, procedures, and mechanisms.

Pain prevention and error prevention engendered one another.
It is best to immediately find ways to prevent an error from recurring.

Usernames, passwords, and personal identification numbers (PIN) impossibilitate anyone who does not know them from entering a website or completing a financial transaction at an automatic teller machint (ATM).
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, at the New Year's Celebration held each year in Times Square, being surrounded by massive numbers of people made it one-hundred percent impossible for anyone from advancing.
The addictive chemicals in cigarettes make it close to impossible for smokers to stop smoking.
Drivers Licenses make it almost impossible for someone to drive without having obtained a driver's license.
Locks make it mostly impossible for anyone to enter without opening the lock with its key.
Male as well as female condoms make it as impossible as possible for a sperm to not enter the vagina.
Prisons make it close to impossible for any prisoner to escape.
Reserve parachutes make it virtually impossible for someone to continue free falling and die on impact because their main parachute did not open and they did not have a reserve parachute, or as unlikely as it seems to be, if the reserve parachute also failed to open. But there is usually no way to prevent unexpected things from happening.
The sex drive is so powerful, it impossibilitates a species' self-extinction.
Structural or electronic blocks impossibilitate certain things from taking place. But some of those what could be called—structural or electronic impossibilitators" do not always succeed.

The poetic style which repeats a slightly modified root word to emphasize that root word while creating a rhyme.
Examples of "root word alliteration" are, "love—that unexplainably still unexplained phenomenon which in this era of perfection still makes the world go round—appears to take on a life of its own to grow and is irrefutably known to quickly deactivate reason in order to satisfy one or both lover's needs." And "It's better to be safe than sorry," said a tax-collector to a tax-evader who worked as a stocks and bond trader and wrestled against alligators."

A way to describe or explain something that happened; though the reason it happened, or how it came about, cannot be easily, or ever be, figured out.
When “surprisingly”, then “unexplainably”, did not say exactly what I felt, my brain gave me “unfigureoutably”. It’s funny, it works, and might even be admitted into the lexicon as a funny word, a type we need more of.

A way of wording an expression in a way that specifies which individual, entity, or other thing committed an act or caused something to happen.
An example of an 'indirect attribution' is, "It was determined that 'unless exempt by diplomatic status, all persons entering the United States, including U.S. citizens, are subject to examination and search by Customs and Border Patrol officers'." Transformed into a "correct attribution" that statement would say something like, "In August of 2009, CBP Directive 3340-049 laid out its policies on searching electronic devices....In the course of a border search, with or without individualized suspicion, an Officer may examine electronic devices and may review and analyze the information encountered at the border.” Though correctly attributing an action increases transparency and accountability, and generally furthers the common good, it takes more time to say and/or space to write.

Writing down the exact words each individual says (or only the keywords) and/or electronically recording the words to deter speakers in a discussion, argument, conversation, or negotiation from making false statements, saying they said something other than what they said or saying they did not say something they said.
Because human beings tend to make false statements it is extremely helpful to practice Truth Upholding.
