You are a little unspecific What is encyclopedic or definitional and whatever it is can it work on a philosophical subject as primary as nature I am tempted to imagine that you just mean that fancier and more roundabout words should be used Wouldn t a more constructive approach be to show me what you mean rather than just deleting what I wrote If you have no better way to write it and you have no objection then please tell me precisely what is wrong with the sentence you deleted so that I can try to improve it Is the problem the so to speak
