A chapter on the unrestricted command.
An unrestricted command is an imperative whose meaning is not redirected by an accompanying indication. Neither its context reduces it to permission nor another proof makes it merely recommended.
The key possible classifications are:
1. Obligation: performance is required.
2. Recommendation: performance is encouraged without blame for non-performance.
3. Permission: acting and refraining are originally allowed.
4. Suspension of judgment: waiting for further evidence before assigning a ruling.
The entire discussion concerns the force of the command in the absence of a qualifying indication. It does not deny that a contextual imperative may serve another function.
