Felt Sense and Symbol Diagrams

• [An expression created in Study Session 1 on “Experiential Processes and the Creation of Meaning” to illustrate what is written in text.
• It has been conveniently used to describe many things since then.
  • More descriptive names: Diagram of symbol-meaning correspondence.
• 
• Arrows coincide with time series

  • At first I used dotted arrows to represent relationships unrelated to the time line, but I didn’t really need to use them.

  • A curved arrow indicates a creative use of the word differently from its original meaning, for example, as a metaphor (non-parallel symbol).

  • There are three patterns in the results of direct matching

    • Direct Match → Partial Match → Segmentation
    • Clarification was done through a series of direct matches.
• To invent a metaphor to express a prior felt meaning is “comprehension.”
  • Creative Functional Relationship Summary
  • Translation difficulties
  • Clean language: withholding interpretation of symbols
  • There are two patterns of “I don’t know.”

The technique of using vertical arrows for parallel symbols and curved arrows for non-parallel symbols may work for simple situations, but may be difficult for “time series” or “many symbols”.

• Expand the pertinence of useful concepts
• The phenomenon of throwing X or Y into the system in an attempt to point to F, but not finding it.
