The ability to represent something is called knowing, but understanding is the ability to do it.

It might be better next time for us (or to others who are to *pickup what you are putting down) or "what you mean" essentially, by presenting it to *us like... (NOTE: This is a demonstration for any future definitions)

Example:
Knowing  =  The ability to represent (explain "representation" ~)

Example:
Doing       = To understand (e.g., to embody/digest/process, physically & mentally)

~

p.s. "the ability to do a thing" could also imply "abilities ~" (clarify what you mean, otherwise it would be akin to "Reminder: X means Y, Goodbye")

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."

An epistemological question that I see underlying the theme of this question is: How do we know when our imagination has gotten ahead of us?  This is a key question in epistemology.  What are the boundaries of the imagination vs. direct experience?

It is far easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled.

Exactly!

But it looks like this thread is targeted at a specific audience who are supposed to understand it.

It's not a discussion. It's a lazy, vague, short, personal lecture.
