You seem to be getting pretty good yourself. I like the root idea.
I think people in certain trades are natural to comms thinking. For example, artists and writers are natural at abstract thought and double meaning. When someone writes a fictional story they think in great detail about EXACTLY what each character will say. A character using WELL instead of good may foreshadow a murder on page 542.
The writer of Alice In Wonderland was both a pedo and a cipher. Every word in his classic story is loaded with comms. The pictures are full of his cipher language. This is why his stories were and still are used in comms language by the DS.
A writer's most important tool is the thesaurus and they learn double meanings of words by heard. They load it into the stories. Many speech writers are also story writers. That is why they are very good at filling politicians' speeches with comms and secret messages. The politician may not even be away always of the comms they are sending. If you put a clown plant in the GOP as a speechwriter he'll have conservative politicians unknowingly sending comms because he is not aware of the double meaning of words.
Artists also are aware of symbolic language and know how to send veiled messages.
People who think "Wow they DS wouldn't go to such lengths to make a comm" need to understand that the people who write their "events" are essentially writing stories and their canvass is a globe. Imagine being a writer by a trade and you're ask to write the story/ event of the century like 9/11. How do you foreshadow the event in the "story"? How would you do it in a book?
Same idea.
The mantra of writers is "SHOW, don' tell". Good writers have it hammered in them that you must SHOW the reader. Telling is considered bad, but sometimes necessary. Avoid tell as much as you can in a story. Readers hate being "told" things.
It's interesting how Q also says "You must SHOW them. You can't tell them". That's straight out of writers 101. It gives me the impression that Q knows how good storytelling works.
The Plan is a set of stories building to a climax. People who can comm are the kind of people who can pick up the foreshadowing in a story and figure out the ending before it happens. Writers like to see clues in their story to make strong endings. That way you can look back and go "it was so obvious! Why didn't see it!"
This is why so many writers like Stephen King may not even be that aware of DS plans or events, but they somehow can pick up enough to foreshadow such things in their story.
I don't want to give away too much about myself but I was in trades that involve the double meaning of things and symbology. I never connected it all before but I was always aware of it on some level just from those areas.
