Varying degrees of ambiguity but more emotional depth. That depth
offers clarity at the expense of precision. But this is why I argue
that not all thought is linguistic or symbolic.
Greetings Krimel,
This is what I have been considering in this thread.
Opposite-from-non-zebra is, of course, zebra. It seems to me, it's
my pattern for the general meaning of zebra. It's not mostly
linguistic. It's not anything like two paragraphs describing a
zebra. It's not mostly image. It's not some internal picture of a
zebra. It's something different. It seems much more sensual. It's
like some conglomerate of all my exposure to zebras. It's like some
pattern! Now I do not have much direct experience of
zebras. Mostly books and a visiting a zoo. So it's pretty
vague. If I think about my guitar, it is much stronger in every
sense, and I haven't played my guitar for many years.
What's come to my mind is the word 'chunking'. I believe it is a
term used for assimilating chunks of information in the learning
experience. Maybe from the book 'Flow'. Maybe this chunking is
establishing a pattern?
What do you think?
