simply indicators

This introduction is also problematic because it partially betrays the effort that I have made to author a text that does not necessarily need to be read in a particular order.  I think that such an effort could be appropriately described as ‘emergent’ or ‘postmodern’ or ‘autoethnographic’ as these terms are not fixed with a universal definition but are instead more appropriately described as ‘plateaus of meaning’ (and more discussion of that term is found later here in the introduction).  In other words, all three terms are simply indicators of what ‘Grey” may be but are in no way limitations that settle what grey is, or how grey should be interpreted, or what the significance of grey may be.
