Raul, My way of thinking about J is as a form of dialog. As I enter I use varialble on the fly. A=: allows me to use A until I change it's value. However often I just want to get rid of it. Often I keep scripts of the sentences I am using to develop an idea. When I am ready to use the scrip entirely I erase all names that I have used and get a bunch of ones. I assume that it has erased all the names I have used. However in this insance, as in most I have no interest in other locales. And have never seen a need to erase them anyway.
So I have assigned names to images or in some cases have not assigned names to them. What is happening is that If I use a C in one script and then a C in another script I don't get the image that agrees with the new data in the new script. In my simplistic way of thinking about the old image is that it must be on a clipboard somewhere. If running a new script could get rid of the old images that are hidden somewhere? I can see many ways for young children to make an study images that will teach them many things about tables and arrays. However, the suggestions about cache and some of your suggestions would be stumbling blocks to simplicidty. I may be naïve but it seems like a housekeeping chore that J could be good at.

Do you mean "the first 2 types of adverbs (or conjunctions)" or are you referring to nounconj and nounconj2? If the latter, I think the statement is erroneous. If the former, I'm a bit dubious about the distinction. The concept of tacit is slippery enough that it's probably worth quoting the definition you are using, and describing what it is about the context that makes "tacit" a relevant concept whenever we talk about it. Anyways, I got stuck there, and I thought you should know.
