I would like to offer from the Budo Hokan of Showa Tenran Shiai Huroku Dai Nihon Yuben Kai (kodansha press 1930 showa 5) a translation of the philosophy of the kata, and some interpretation into the meanings.

Sen - Stop your opponent’s attack by first movement, forestall, attitude of taking the initiative. This does not mean speed, more subconsciously seeing the origin of every real action, or the practised ability to read a changing situation instantly. Having or assuming an advance intention of victory.
SEN SEN NO SEN - Anticipating your opponent’s intention and capitalising on this knowledge to have victory.
GO NO SEN - Responding to your opponent’s attacking movements by countering from them, without knowing your opponent’s intention beforehand.
Reaction in Sen Sen No Sen and Go No Sen must be carried out at a faster speed than the actions of the attacker. Having a sincere and pure attitude of the single mind, unwavering and of a high and delicately refined quality. This is Kigurai and should be combined with Sen attitude.
Further definitions for Sen: Initiative, advantage, first-step and ambition.
Attitude...Position of the body indicating mood or emotion. Position can also be defined as proper place.
KODACHI NO KATA
Dai Ippon
Kamae: Uchidachi, Jodan, Shidachi, Chudan. Shidachi wins by rushing in and entering Irimi Uchidachi instantly. Feeling of shin.
Dai Nihon
Kamae: Uchidachi, Gedan, Shidachi, Chudan wins by provoking uchidachi and counter cutting. Feeling of gyo.
Dai Sanbon
Kamae: Uchidachi, Chudan, Shidachi, Gedan. Shidachi wins by thwarting and controlling every attack made by uchidachi without actually cutting him. Feeling of so.
These three feelings are somewhat different to the sen attitudes due to the differing sword length, although sen is applied throughout all the kata.
