In the MDriven community, we have traditionally utilized the terms **Gist** and **Modernity** to articulate the distinction between the “idea” of an implementation and the “technology” of the information. While these terms have served us well, they present a pedagogical challenge: they do not tie into the established vocabulary of the broader academic and technical world.
