[edit] -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evocation In his fictional novel A Fire Upon the Deep, computer scientist Vernor Vinge uses evocation to refer to a method of compressing communication into very high-level information - words rather than their sounds, description of actions rather than motion video. The implication is that the information reproduced may not correspond closely to the original.
