OK, great.
Actually, this is the conclusion of this whole section when they talked, when we had talked about
the philosophical foundations of conceptual mapping.
So after this election, we're going to go into the more practical leaders who are actually creating
maps and all the details about the different elements and what the arrow means and what it doesn't mean
and what Multiplicities and everything about that is going to be covered in the next section.
So now I'm going to do a wrap up of this whole section that started off when we started talking about
what a concept this and the concept of concept.
So let's do some final conclusions here and this section, so we xrayed we actually create our social
reality when creating functional concepts, declaring instances of them and getting people to recognize
these as existing.
So this is an extremely powerful insight and extremely powerful tool.
So we are actually creating our own social reality, using language.
And hence how we do that is very, very important and make such a huge difference.
So in the same way as a hammer, it could be too heavy.
We talked about that could be contextualized for me to have a malfunction, conceptual system for a
concrete situation with status functions, but it's not functioning to achieve the goal could prevent
growth, development and leads to disaster.
So you could say it's we are actually creating the social reality.
We could do it in a kind of a functional way or we could do it.
So it's not actually functioning.
Another important thing here is that when we communicate, we often leave out the network in the background
to a level that we think is common with the people that we communicate with.
And that's natural because if we stated everything that is in our collective intentionality all the
time, it will take ages to just say that I'm going for a walk.
Right.
Because if I needed to first describe that, it's possible to actually walk using the legs and that
you can walk on ground with your feet and taking a walk is an activity that people usually do because
they need some air and so on.
If I if I needed to kind of explain that whole range of concept they have in mind when I'm what I'm
thinking about, when I'm saying I'm taking a walk, then it would be impossible to do have any communication
at all.
But what I see in business situations is that we actually leave out a little bit too much.
So we tend to think that people, other people's conceptual domains are what they have in their heads,
in terms of their internal state and beliefs and so on are a little bit too like for us to around.
And in my experience, that is often not the case.
And when we leave out a little bit too much details here, we can lose a lot of understanding.
So when we develop a new product, we develop a new business, we develop a new idea system or a new
product, or in all those types of situations where we need to actually when we creating a new conceptual
domain, a status functions and so on.
I tried to be almost too detailed about getting the what I think is the the collective intentional network
that needs to be understood to to understand this new domain.
And usually that helps.
So I think that my recommendation here is to see a little bit more about the underlying network that
you ground your expressions in and this process of actually both creating the the the social reality
and also on which level that we communicate because we are taking other people's collective intentionality
for granted is such a deeply part of it is to be human that we often actually neglect its logical mechanisms
and we actually lack tools to fix the problems that arise from it when it's not functioning as it should.
And what to do them.
So here's a couple of conclusions that I would like you to take with you after this section.
How do we eliminate communication, waste one, we pay attention to implicit differences so we have
explicit differences, the ones that are actually talked about.
But we have a lot of implicit differences here as well.
So pay attention to them.
They are usually very important.
Visualize the conceptual structures and that is what this whole course is about.
We're going to talk much, much more about that.
But doing it visually helps the brain think.
And we saw that when we talked about the the science done in cognitive science, the research under.
Reconsidered the shared legacy of concepts when game shifts occurs, so when you have a completely new
situation that arise, then it might be also the case that the language needs to change.
They need to bring in new concepts, although you need to redeclared and redefine concepts.
They already have to make the language that you do create flexible for future changes.
This is this could be done in absurdum.
I know that.
But you should always think about that.
Is it possible that we should make this language construct a little bit more flexible so we can add
on new stuff maybe next month if we need them?
For example, do you think that I talked about like a party and a role thing of doing that differentiation
is very, very good, usually find conceptual similarities between different domains.
So here's the way to jumpstart a creative thinking process.
Try to use different domains with different conceptual knowledge and try to see if you can find patterns
and pathways between the different domains, because that usually use that usually works as a catalyst
for creative leaps in your own domain.
Get early acceptance from all the users of the language.
So you're building up these new language with new concepts and new stadium functions.
You need to get an acceptance of that as early as possible, because in the same way that you build
your product in small iterations, you actually need to build your language in small iterations, in
in close cooperation with the users of it, which is going to be like in this case, the students in
these structures and so on, and refine the language, as I said.
So that's the last point to refine the language and iterations, to let it grow on itself and the collective
network of intentionality of its users.
So you have people and people have different conceptualizations of the same world by but by applying
a tool like conceptual mapping and visualizing those concepts, we can actually find those differences
much, much easier and faster and get an acceptance of this common network of concepts that is needed
to go on.
So visualize and concepts in maps is a great tool for elimination of communication waste.
OK.
End of section that was and of the whole section as so that was everything I'm going to talk about when
it comes to the philosophical foundation or conceptual mapping.
So now we're going to go into the practical part of this.
What is a model?
How do you model what the different elements in the model?
How do you run a workshop where you do a model and so on and so on?
See you there.
