Hope you're ready for the results briefing.

What would you like to see happen in this conversation? Ready for results debriefing What kind of “preparation” is that “preparation”? Speaking at presentations and exhibiting on oVice What kind of “presentation” is that “presentation”? Five minutes to talk about past history and stuff for people who don’t know. What is the “background” of this “background”? Like, why did you create this Keichobot? What kind of “Keichobot” is this “Keichobot”? Thinking support software that allows you to formulate your thoughts by answering questions in a chat format. What kind of “chat format” is this “chat format”? The program asks questions and you answer them. What is its “shape”? 👎 type What kind of “program” is this “program”? Extract keywords from the user’s input, determine which keywords are best to drill down on, and fit them into a question template and return them. What kind of “question” is that “question”? Questions that emphasize not distorting the speaker’s thinking, created with reference to a technique called symbolic modeling. What kind of “thoughts” are those “thoughts”? Or rather, there are already “metaphors that have not yet been verbalized” in the speaker’s mind, and we help to bring them out in the form of words without distorting them. What kind of “as yet unarticulated metaphor” is that “as yet unarticulated metaphor”? A structure created in the speaker’s mind from past experiences, which often takes the form of a metaphor during the verbalization stage. What kind of “metaphor” is this “metaphor”? The concept of metaphor is abstract, but do I need to explain this to you to get the point across? Indeed. Is there anything else you can tell us about that “metaphor”? When things are verbalized, they do not always come out in a form that can be understood by others, but first come out in the form of personal metaphors, which cannot be understood by others as they are, so they are not useful as “tools for communication,” but they are useful as “tools for thinking,” as they have a handle to manipulate your vague thoughts. It is useful as a “thinking tool” because it is like a handle to manipulate one’s vague thoughts. Where is the “metaphor”? We’re just coming up out of the sea of “what has yet to be verbalized” that comes out of the user’s mind. What is it that you value? I think that putting thoughts into words is very useful, and groupware supports sharing “what is put into words” but does not support “putting into words” itself.

• When things are verbalized, they do not always come out in a form that can be understood by others, but first come out in the form of personal metaphors, which cannot be understood by others as they are, so they are not useful as “tools for communication,” but they are useful as “tools for thinking,” as they have a handle to manipulate your vague thoughts. It is useful as a “thinking tool” because it is like a handle to manipulate one’s vague thoughts.

• How do you know this “metaphor”? As we talk, I realize, “Oh, this is just like that one.

• When things are verbalized, they do not always come out in a form that can be understood by others, but first come out in the form of personal metaphors, which cannot be understood by others as they are, so they are not useful as “tools for communication,” but they are useful as “tools for thinking,” as they have a handle to manipulate your vague thoughts. It is useful as a “thinking tool” because it is like a handle to manipulate one’s vague thoughts.

• Where is this “metaphor”? While you are talking, you swim close to the surface of the ocean of “what has not yet been verbalized,” and you imagine scooping it up with a flick of your hand. What kind of “verbalization” is this “verbalization”? The metaphor handle is added after the fact: “We talked about a lot of things, but metaphorically speaking, it’s like something like…” What would you like to see happen with respect to that “metaphor”? It would be good if it were better known that the process of verbalization is often accelerated by the creation of personal metaphors, and that the creation of these personal metaphors can be accelerated with the assistance of this software. What needs to happen to the “metaphor” for that to happen? The concept of “metaphor” is abstract and difficult for the uninitiated to grasp, so it needs to be made easier to grasp. Can you do that with regard to “metaphor”? I don’t know, never thought about it, worth the challenge.

• The concept of “metaphor” is abstract and difficult for the uninitiated to grasp, so this itself needs to be made easier to grasp.

• What does this “metaphor” look like? I guess I need to be able to explain that. So far, I’ve been thinking of “the object to scoop up” and not “the fish”, but I can’t pinpoint the part where scooping up the fish makes it easier to verbalize it. Is there anything else you can tell us about this “verbalization”? If verbalization is “making words understandable to others,” then “making words” comes first, and then refining them into a form that others can understand comes later. How do you know its “verbalization”? You can tell if you’ve been able to put it into words that others can understand by throwing it at them and seeing if they catch it. What kind of “word” is that “word”? hmm

• The concept of “metaphor” is abstract and difficult for the uninitiated to grasp, so this itself needs to be made easier to grasp.

• Where does this “metaphor” come from? If you’re talking about where personal metaphors come from, it’s from personal experience. If you’re talking about where the notion that metaphors are important came from [Eugene Gendlin. What kind of “concept” is this “concept”? I think it would be better to summarize Eugene Gendlin once in Scrapbox rather than chatting about this now. What kind of “speaking” is this “speaking”?
