rule of operation

Read a random definition: march

A quick definition of rule of operation:

Rule of operation: A way to use a machine to make it do what it's supposed to do. It's like a set of instructions that tell the machine how to work. This is what makes a machine different from just a regular thing you can buy. Machines have moving parts and a rule of operation that makes them useful.

A more thorough explanation:

A rule of operation is a method of using a machine to produce its intended useful result. It is what distinguishes a machine from an article of manufacture.

  • Using a blender to make a smoothie by adding ingredients and pressing the blend button is an example of a rule of operation.
  • Operating a car by turning the key in the ignition, pressing the gas pedal, and shifting gears is another example of a rule of operation.

These examples illustrate how a machine is used to produce a specific result by following a set of steps or rules. Without these rules of operation, the machine would not be able to perform its intended function.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
