Notes on Meaning

• "Instauration" is a formal and somewhat rare word. Its core meaning aligns with "foundation" or "establishment," but it can carry a nuanced connotation of reviving or restoring something based on original principles, not merely starting from scratch. The provided Vietnamese reference definition ("sự phục chế, sự tu sửa lại" - restoration, repair) highlights this restorative nuance, though the primary English definition emphasizes the inaugural act of starting something new.
