It is not that this decoration arises out of the specific character or identity of each context; it does not. It is equally a product of the abstract machinations of the typological process on architectural form. It remains a sub-routine of the Type which, if it still cannot indicate the unique character of a context, can at least indicate that it is different from other contexts. In this it does not name each place, but simply the difference between each place. One can look at decoration as an artificial context or, indeed, a portable context which, while it is still part of the Type can be shunted around to meet different circumstances. Thus, it is only at this secondary level that architecture is able to differentiate one place from another. Needless to say, as the Involutionary phase of an architecture continues with further reductions of the typical set, displacing minute variations of canonical elements, the decorative activity in an architecture becomes more demonstrative.
