Decoding an enemy’s ____ begins with the belief that the apparently random signals conceal a coherent meaning.
As is the case with explanation, decoding aims to ____ disparate facts.
While explanation includes the particular covered by a general law, decoding substitutes one ____ with another in accordance with a rule that may be individual to the particular case:

In the same way policy can act as the source of authority ____ that hierarchy is unnecessary:
