Description in the common parlance has a variety of context dependent meanings, it can be: providing some information, an explanation, a representation or a general model of something. It can be an act or its product.
More formally, a description consists of an enumeration of the quantitative and qualitative parameters which seek to provide a definition of some thing, such as what that thing looks like, sounds like, or feels like, distinguishing one state from another and general characteristics commonly noticed which in popular culture define or distinguish something. It can represent subtle differences in states. A complete description is created and used in scientific disciplines as technical terminology. It may be representable as a set or vector of qualities. Description is the product of thought bounded by beginnings, endings, context, perspective, similarities, differences and, when applied, interpretation.
