Regarding "sections explain sentences": although sentences signify distinctions, they have not yet extensively revealed the principles; because within true and false, shape and color, form and mind, multiple meanings are contained, sections can illuminate them; hence it is called explaining sentences. "Section" (章) is equivalent to "making clear" (彰). The commentary text accords with the meaning, and therefore explains sentences first.
