NOTES:

Commands vary in strength, authority, context, and effect. Their influence may depend on factors such as legitimacy, recognition, repetition, social structure, perceived authority, and willingness to comply.

CONTROL TEXT OBSERVATION:

Language does not merely describe reality—it can direct behavior. A command transforms words into action-oriented instructions that attempt to alter attention, decisions, movement, priorities, or outcomes through communication.
