Jiro Kawakita sometimes describes “summarize” and “be collected” as different things.

  • It’s not that humans I’ll try my best to summarize., it’s that [Data is compiled on its own.
  • When people who have experienced “come to one’s own” hear this, they say, “Oh, that.
  • If you have no experience, you may be thinking, “It comes together on its own? How is that possible?” p.53
  • It is similar to explaining a bicycle in words to someone who has never ridden it Parable of the Bicycle, but they don’t get it.

In Ideas, p. 53, he writes

  • While I was obsessed with the vague, big-broth term, “compiling materials,” my research materials were “inconsistent,” which is a very ironic result.

  • The rest of the section is abstract and difficult to communicate.
    • It “comes together” only when both methods of summary analysis and integration are exercised in their entirety in a relevant manner.

  • He uses the strong phrase “ambiguous and big talk.”
    • In short, I’m pointing out that everyone thinks they know what “putting it all together” means, and that I think I can do it, but I’m not sure what exactly “putting it all together” means.
  • let the chaos speak for itself, p. 331, counterposes the KJ method with “Normal summary thoughts.” image
  • p.332〜334:
    • Mosaic World
    • An ecological world of seamless meaning
  • This is an interesting story, but I’ll explain it another time.
  • roughly speaking - summary thought is beneficial because it reduces decision time, but we tend to use it even in situations where it is not available
    • Then the “well-organized parts” become a pieced together “Mosaic World”.
    • Explore Net is “seamless” to connect the pieces together.
