How ENA can account for both interdependence and the order in which coded events occur. Standard ENA did not represent the qualitative distinction in the demonstration as clearly, while the directed model captured the ordered difference between commanders. A two-case demonstration establishes methodological possibility, not general superiority; direction is meaningful only when ordering, windows, and event semantics support it.
