  10. Ideographic notation
    Symbols as “a more-or-less renderings of some
    concrete item”.
    Methods that “highlight the unique elements of the
    individual phenomenon - the historically
    particular”.

  11. Ideographic and idiographic
    Not until we are prepared to dwell upon the unique patterning
    of personality, and to concede that lawfulness need not be
    synonymous with frequency of occurrence in a population, and
    to admit that prediction, understanding, and control are
    scientific goals attainable in the handling of one case and of
    one case alone - not until then are we in a position to assess
    the full value of personal documents.
    Gordon Allport (1942)

  19. A ball player who has served on a championship baseball club for
    seven seasons and a reporter who has followed the fortunes of
    winning and losing teams for twenty years decided to pool their
    knowledge of the game and its players and produce a book. They
    agreed that past generations of ball players and reporters have left
    only garbled traditions and scattered fragments of their knowledge of
    the game and that the science of baseball, as understood now,
    should be preserved in some way for future generations to use or to
    improve upon.
    Johnny Evers and Hugh Fullerton (1910)
