A dynamic form of Socratic method has evolved. Its dialectical attributes, combined with rhetorical and electronic devices, have become a dynamic, creative tool in communication that uses secondary orality and rebus (graphic) techniques. Creativity results from an inherent impulse to create new patterns by changing extant but inadequate patterns. Critical inquiry identifies these inadequate patterns through elenchus (incessant questioning). This technique allows explication by coining unambiguous, universal definitions. Generally, dialectic that coins defmitions creates dissonance: a conflict that results from inconsistency between beliefs and actions. Subsequently, the mind overcomes the inherent anxiety caused by the dissonance, balances belief with actions, and creates new patterns. Therefore, elenchus enhances comprehension through precise defmition in dynamic, electronic communication.
