Ellipse: “the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues” indicated by “…”

Hmm. Ellipse, the least transparent of all communications, questioning silences, trailing of conversations, omissions of what’s not permitted, permissions of omissions… un-omitted omissions?

Omit: “leave out or exclude (someone or something), either intentionally or forgetfully”

to (make an) ellipse (…), an un-omited ommision, an ommision un-omited by its evidence … (<…) (bidirectional?)

<not bidirectional, or unidirectional, or multidirection…>
Ellipses — not directional?

Directional: “relating to or indicating the direction in which someone or something is situated or moving.”
Ellipse… Un-situated, no well situated! Directional? No. Directive… Situated to be moved towards
Mobilising ellipses, (where mobilising = an adjective)
