[Coding/Content] Na

Aliases

• Na
• nature
• natural environment

Definition

Na is coded for a natural environment, natural phenomenon, or general nature setting that is not better coded as botany or a specific landscape.
The response points to "nature" as a whole rather than to one isolated object.

Conditions

• Use it for sky, sea, water, snow, rain, distant mountains, broad vegetation, or another response understood as general nature.
• The focus has to stay on the natural setting or phenomenon itself.
• If Na appears together with scoring-input/contents/Bt or scoring-input/contents/Ls, Na often takes priority and displaces those codes.
• If the person describes a cloud as an isolated object, first reconsider scoring-input/contents/Cl; if the person describes a broad natural environment, reconsider Na.

Cautions

• Na has priority over scoring-input/contents/Bt and scoring-input/contents/Ls when the real focus is the natural environment.
• Na is not used for a map; that belongs to scoring-input/contents/Ge.
• An isolated botanical detail does not justify Na by itself if the response is not describing general nature.
