Elaboration

Elaboration refers to an utterance where more details are added concerning what has already been said. In other words, "elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex, emergent whole."

Example (1):

-Explainer: ["We're gonna talk about blockchain technology.", 'Have you heard of blockchain?']
-Explainee: ["I've heard of the words blockchain,", "but I'm not sure I know what it is."]
-Explainer: ['When we were much smaller societies,', 'you and I could trade in our community pretty easily.', 'As the distance in our trade grew,', 'we ended up inventing institutions, right?', 'If you Uber or you use Airbnb or you use Amazon even,', 'these are just digital marketplaces and platforms', 'that help us facilitate an exchange of value.', 'But today, we actually have a technology', 'that allows us to trade one to one but at scale,', "and it's called blockchain technology.", 'There is some kind of interface for it.', 'You could have an app, or you could use a computer', 'to do it, but instead of there being a company', "in the middle that's helping you make that transaction,", "it's a bunch of software code."]
-Explainee: ['Okay.']
-Explainer: [And so it's being run by all of these different computers that have like a node. So they're all running the same software. and guaranteeing your transactions as they happen.]  --->Elaboration
