The process proceeds by “codifying” a generative theme, concept, word, etc., according to these special rules and “reading” it, then “problematizing” it, and then “decodifying” it. (These correspond to the three-step dialectical approach underlying all of Marxism, wherein some phenomenon is rendered abstract, then critiqued through a negative critique, and then made concrete by attaching it to the lived “reality” of the situation.)
