Methods of representation in two dimensions embed higher-order information in the brain into lower dimensions
- word2vec, for example, embeds the meaning of a word in a vector of several hundred dimensions.
- It would be in that higher state of the brain.
-
It is fragmented and output by using the writing out method.
-
In the KJ method,
- First lay out what you wrote down.
- This is to force information to be embedded in a two-dimensional form that is easy for humans to observe and manipulate
- Next, we change the position so that the distance is well preserved in the higher dimensional space in the brain
- This is the group formation.
- Since it is moved while keeping the constraint that it is placed on a two-dimensional space, it remains two-dimensional.
- Bundle cards to have multiple different “detail level” ref. KJ method is pseudo-3D. - In the era when the KJ method was created, there was no way to have multiple details and store or distribute them. - Multiple levels of detail at different
- First lay out what you wrote down.
-
Written expression is embedded in one dimension - One-dimensional text
-
When people say that bullet points are two-dimensional, I feel that they are talking about something less dimensional. Bullet points are not two-dimensional.
-
Bullet points are more flexible in structure than spoken utterances
- but it is the same kind of comparison between a one-dimensional array and a tree
- No denial of a more expressive structure.
- Same as [Sapir-Whorf hypothesis
- Human thought is influenced by the expressive power of language as the tool he uses.
- Example in a programming language: …
- People who have no experience with languages with higher-order functions have difficulty coming up with abstractions that pass functions as arguments.
