... διακατέχεσαι εδώ από μια αίσθηση ή μια ψευδαίσθηση (στην πραγματικότητα); (is it a sense or a delusion/illusion?) Έκτος από την πεποίθηση ότι "σου χρωστά η κοινωνία" .... μήπως παίζει και η αίσθηση/αντίληψη/νοοτροπία/πεποίθηση πως[U] όλα σου ανήκουν ([δικαιωματικά)/U]; (which aligns with...

Πολύ σωστά - καλό! :) Human substance reduced to mathematical quantities (=substance abuse, in some quarters).

Πέρα από το μαθηματικό/αφηρημένο πεδίο ... στο παράδειγμα, ας πούμε: "ο Μπόγκαρτ ήταν πιο κοντός από την Μπέργκμαν", comparand θα θεωρούνταν και οι δυο - έτσι δεν είναι;

A grush of blood. Happens to the (two) best of us. ;) και κάτι άλλο ... comparand = αυτός που συγκρίνεται ή αυτός με τον οποίο συγκρίνεσαι/αυτό με το οποίο συγκρίνεται κάτι (a comparand could be a measuring stick, or a template for example? - I'm guessing);

ανεξέλεγκτη δίψα για οινόπνευμα/αλκοόλ; (which sounds more like a craving for alcohol than a binging episode)

Interesting.:s Το διψομανία/διψομανιακό επεισόδιο δεν έχουν πιάσει τόπο, από ό,τι φαίνεται. (ούτε το ασυγκράτητη/άκρατη πόση/δίψα - a la την ακρατοποσία που μας ανέφερε ο nickel) ανεξέλεγκτη πόση αλκοόλ; (my final try)

Good detective work, nickel. I was barking up the wrong tree (or decision tree, as it turns out). I thought we may have been referring to the same “expensive” (that I cited in post #12)... the Sophoclean principal narrative level may have been limited, but mine knows no bounds.

interpretive ... 6th line and 2nd last line. (I somehow forgot how to spell the word from #11 to #12...from one post to the next).

I should have extracted and cited this part ... "And in reality, the essence of the problem is economic: loose branches are expensive, convergence reuses material and thereby lowers cost". So a 5 page story, which, at the end of each page, allows the reader to choose either of two...

Βρήκα αυτό .. http://inanimatereason.com/deaddrop/articles/nonlinear1.html boundaries = borders. Limited narrative ...refers to converging branches and storylines, narrative structure and linearity, employing a defined sequence of events, with all the sub-narratives converging in order to...

Καλημέρα, nickel . μου πέρασε από το νου (το expansive), και το απέρριψα (along with extremely limited). Ας το ψάξει η kaydee ... άλλα έτσι το κατάλαβα (expensive = time consuming). The Principal Narrative is expensive = time-consuming - but, I'm guessing that it is a more efficient and less...

Δεν είμαι σίγουρος, αλλά το expensive εδώ, νομίζω, έχει να κάνει με τη "δαπάνη χρόνου " ... the expending of time, σχετικά με τη διήγηση και εξήγηση της ιστορίας. Α lot of time is "spent/expended" setting up the story's background (during the Principal Narrative stage), and the characters then...

Απλά για να είμαστε εξηγημένοι ... οnly click if you promise not to be offended by what your mind's eye might (first) see. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx4eygsUwAAFyP-.jpg

Ήθελα να κρατήσω την αντιστοιχία του δώσε = give .... αλλά, το πλησιέστερο στην έννοια θα ήταν κάτι σαν το: Yell until you're hoarse/sore/blue in the face. Yell until you drop. Yell until you can't yell anymore. Yell/holler at the top of your lungs. Yell/scream your lungs out (which sounds...

Όχι ακριβώς το ίδιο, anyway ... Give until it hurts? Give until you drop/bleed. Give until you can't give no more. Give your blood, sweat and tears? Give (it) your all. Give (it/your) everything. Give (it) all you've got. Leave it all on the field/floor/stage.

Declaration of Honour sounds right to me. but ... My guess is there's a section of the document where the declaration is made (i.e., where the applicant provides their particulars and then signs) - and the declaration might typically read "I declare on my honour ..." so this section of the...

Thanks (to the kind monitor), for tidying up my mistake. By the way .... I know I said boisterous showing off/ bragging/gloating before.But looking at it again ... I think what it's saying is the 2 new managers have barely arrived and there's already this "hoopla/hype" that surrounds them -...

Υ.Γ. ... (in the case of "beating one's own drum") ίσως και "για να δικαιολογήσουν τους πανηγυρισμούς/την τυμπανοκρουσία"; ... to justify the exuberant gloating; to justify the boisterous swaggering/showing off.

αναμπουμπούλα/βαβούρα;

Έχεις δίκιο. "Παρασύρθηκα από τους φίλους μου" (i.e., past tense) suits better - or makes more sense (after all, if you've been led astray "over time", and realised it, it would be something you'd realise after the fact, only). "Θα με παρασύρεις/Θα με παρασύρουν οι φίλοι μου" means that you're...
