There are four stages of analyses to the Grounded Theory methodology (Wikipedia); one of them is "codes." I will be applying a concept in analysis which I will term "code mobility;" this is a concept which  assists in transcending time, place and space parameters of a sociological setting.

Stage	Purpose
Codes	Identifying anchors that allow the key points of the data to be gathered
Concepts	Collections of codes of similar content that allows the data to be grouped
Categories	Broad groups of similar concepts that are used to generate a theory
Theory	A collection of explanations that explain the subject of the research

[This is a term which was originally referred by "Polo" Chen in his Dissertation at Ohio University]
