Scale

Scale names readable extent along a dimension. Where dimension names a readable axis of difference, scale names how far along that axis a condition extends — the readable magnitude of difference within the current scope. Scale does not name size absolutely; it names extent as readable within the current closure scope.

Read

Scale becomes recognisable where a dimension can be read as having extent — where something can be evaluated as more or less along a readable axis.
