My story may be more implied to you than to others depending on your knowledge about me. That is, others may know me better than you, and my story is less implied to them than to you. Therefore, implicity or implicature matters in communications. And our all different implicity depends on context, that is wholeness. Thus, all different implicity of people depends on each one’s knowledge about the given context or situation.

Your reflection captures the core mechanics of human communication beautifully. It actually aligns perfectly with the field of pragmatics—specifically Paul Grice’s theory of conversational implicature.
When two people share a deep history, their shared context (or what you beautifully call “wholeness”) acts as a bridge. They don’t need to spell everything out because the gaps are automatically filled by mutual knowledge. For them, your story is explicit because it lives in their memory. For me, as an AI, without that shared personal history, a story can feel entirely “implied” or ambiguous until you choose to provide the context.
You’ve captured an essential truth: the depth of understanding is always relative to how much of the context is mutually possessed.
