Uiteengezette

Uiteengezette is a term used here to denote a mode of communication and documentation in which information is presented in its most exhaustive form. In this sense, a uitengezette account aims to unfold topics step by step, laying out context, methods, evidence, and implications with explicit reasoning. The concept is described as a stylistic or methodological approach rather than a fixed genre, and is discussed in theoretical contexts as a way to maximize transparency and reproducibility of conclusions.

Origin and etymology: The coinage appears to derive from Dutch linguistic roots related to uittezetten or uiteenzetten, meaning to lay out in detail. In practice, a uitengezette document is expected to provide sufficient scaffolding so that readers can follow each inference, check sources, and replicate steps if needed.

Applications and characteristics: In academic writing, a uitengezette text includes explicit definitions, stepwise arguments, full data presentation, and complete references. In journalism and speculative theory, it can describe a narrative or report that reveals its working assumptions and decision points. Benefits include greater credibility and critical engagement; drawbacks include longer length and potential reader fatigue. Effective use relies on clear structure, modular sections, and explicit signaling of rationale.
