Normalization in a Nutshell: Definition

Let's define our terminology so that we are discussing the same thing when we use particular words:

Normal: how things typically are in any given situation. This sense of normal can be good or bad.
Synonym: Typical. Ordinary. Usual. What is expected based on past experience.

Normalized: the state of being complete, whole, reaching one's potential, utterly fulfilled. This sense of "normal" is a beautiful and wonderful experience!
Synonym: Peaceful. Fulfilled.

Normalization: the process of becoming normalized.

Normalization is the single most important result of our work.
