• 1: There is a conflict between A and B

• 2: A different cut C is made. - dialectic development

• 3:

  • At this time, the “A and B confrontation” in the original cut does not disappear.
    • So, if you focus on that, it looks like “discussion is not progressing as parallel line”.
    • Different directions. We’re moving on.
    • We can tell if “We’re making progress.” by whether New Ideas are being created that did not exist before the conflict.

• A series of pictures of two people saying different things
