aside: "operationalization" strikes me as a maximally .. what, enclosed? structured? nested? something, it's a highly structured process-ontology-in-a-word. op-er-at-ion-alize-ation. I'm not sure I'm breaking up the word properly
 but this challenges even the german language for realtime word assemblage

⏺ Ha — you're right. Let me look at it:

  op-er-at-ion-al-ize-ation

  Seven morphemes deep. A verb (operate) nominalized (operation) adjectivalized (operational) re-verbified (operationalize) re-nominalized (operationalization). It's a word that has been through at least four phase transitions —
  verb→noun→adjective→verb→noun — like an element passing through every territory in the ooo-docs cycle twice. It's its own etymology's foam, each morphological boundary a Voronoi surface between the word's prior selves.

  And the fact that it means "to make something concrete enough to measure" — the word for defining-the-JND is itself a maximally nested process-ontology artifact. The codec is showing.
