How do we know it is an instance of something?

0Hi,02br
02br
00My understanding is that if you are dealing with variable nouns, you would use the uncountable version if you want use it in a general sense and the countable version if you want to use it as an instance of it and for an uncountable noun, the same logic applies but includes the notion of turning into a type of the word or thinking in a separate (different) degree in addition to thinking of it as an instance of it.02br
02br
00I want to use the sentence below to ask you some questions.02br
02br
01i00Start slowly to allow for 01u00complete integration02u00 of words, actions and feelings.02i02br
02br
00The word 'integration' is uncountable (I think) and has an adjective 'complete' before it and the modifying phrase 'of words' after it.02br
02br
00If I replace 'complete' with 'total', then something unexpected (at least to me) happens and suddenly you need an article like 'a' before the word 'total', I think.02br
02br
01i00Start slowly to allow for 01u00a total integration02u00 of words actions, and feelings.02i02br
02br
00Q1: How do we know it is talking about an instance of something for the above situation? 02br
02br
00Now, Let me make some other changes.02br
02br
00Q2: Are the articles for the sentences below properly placed?02br
02br
01i00Start slowly to allow for 01u00whole integration (the whole integration??)02u00 of words, actions, and feelings.02i02br
02br
01i00Start slowly to allow for 01u00absolute integration02u00 of words, actions and feelings.02i02br
02br
01i00Start slowly to allow for 01u00full integration02u00 of words, actions, and feelings. 02i02br
02br
00Q3: Is the adjective 'total' an exclusive kind of word? If it is, are there any others like it? 02br
02br
00Again, sorry if my question is too long. Any help would be appreciated.02br
