Remapping: Observation 27. Synthesizing a 4D spatial model to 4D iconic space (energy, information, and rules). 2007
Observation
Synthesizing a visualization of energy transfer into something other people can understand is powerful. To do this, I need to remap one snapshot of the architecture that processes energy, information, and rules into the six perspectives of cognition. This will allow me to explain it to other people “one perspective at a time”.
The Lesson
The most important lesson in this story is the value of synthesizing ideas to right words to communicate complex ideas effectively.
How is this helpful
Problem-solving: The story illustrates effective problem-solving through visualization and simplification of complex systems.
Communication: It highlights the importance of finding the right words to communicate intricate ideas clearly.
Perseverance: It serves as a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of challenges and the pursuit of understanding.
Questions
Purpose: "What is the purpose of my visualization, and how can it drive success?"
Clarity: "Am I effectively communicating my ideas, and can I simplify them for better understanding?"
Resilience: "How can I maintain perseverance and adaptability when facing obstacles in my pursuits?"
This video describes the model I remapped when I translated the spatial model into energy, information, and rules.
My first memory is a model that describes object in motion at snapshots in time. This model led to experiments with light, vibrations, heat, and marbles and ramps. These experiments taught me about energy transfer and the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. I didn’t know the words for these things until about 15 years after I knew them in a color-coded spatial model.
This story describes how I translated a spatial model of position, velocity, acceleration, momentum, and friction into a model of proportional energy transfer, rules that govern the conversion between energy and information, and the information being moved by the energy.
