from Study Session 1 on “Experiential Processes and the Creation of Meaning Clean language: withholding interpretation of symbols

  • clean language : Pending interpretation of symbols
  • I realized that this framework could be used to explain how the clean language I presented last time works.

    • When a person tries to put into words something F that he/she can’t say well and says A, it’s not a parallel EXPLICATION of course because it’s “not well said”!
    • So the FA that RECOGNITIONed by the person who heard it is of course not F
    • Stop RECOGNITION there.
    • image
    • Focus only on the phenomenon of “the other person said A.”
  • I understand why the rule is “don’t change the words the speaker used.”
    • Using the word A used by the other party can point to F, even if the word came from a non-parallel process
      • I don’t know what that F is, but it’s not a practical problem.
    • And asking a question to it F generates a CIRCUMLOCUTION
      • CIRCUMLOCUTION is the creation of RELEVANCE between experienced meaning
      • F becomes clearer as RELEVANCE increases.

  • Keichobot’s behavior can now be explained without attributing it to “that’s the rule with clean language”!
