Instead of waiting for things to 'pull' our attention we can deliberately direct our attention as we wish and in a systematic way.

Can you see something for which there is no name? In the physical sense, yes of course, but you may not notice it.. it might not register...

Frameworks allow us to give 'names' to things so that we can look for them, look at them and notice them.

If you ask someone to look for 'all values',this is quite a complex task. Separate the different types of value..focus on one at a time.

Not all values are equal. Some are larger or more important than others. Yet there is no word to describe the 'extent' or 'size' of values.

The word 'Hodics' comes from the Greek word for road. Hodics is the study of paths, or patterns and of routes.

"If the next step has a higher probability in one direction rather than in any other direction, there may be a pattern".

A challenge to the concept of cause and effect. Because B follows A does not mean that A has caused B.

In the brain we have a mass of interconnected neurons.Each neuron can become active and signal this activity to connected neurons:close/far

Neurons are activated by signals from neurons with which thay have been previously associated in the past.

The activated neuron that receives signals from connected neurons from this point contributes to the activation of other neurons.

An activated neuron also contributes to the inhibition of other neurons: only the group of most sensitized neurons will be active.

Activated and interconnected neurons also contribute to the inhibition and suppression of the less sensitized neurons. Exclusive zone?

The tiring factor means that the original cluster of activated neurons gets 'tired' and stops activities (it later recovers).

The tiring factor allows the inhibition effect on the effected neurons to die down.Any cluster inhibited by the 'tired' cluster gets active.

In the brain, it is not just clusters of neurons that matter but the whole 'neural state'.

One neural state then leads to another state, states change into other states. There may be a sequence of states. =?: a 'flow' concept

The 'flow' concept is part of water logic thinking: Emphasis is less on 'what is' than on 'where does this go'.

There's a punctuation device to make the flow concept more readily available,then people will find it easier to start thinking this way:'//'

The double slash '//' means: this "leads to" or, is "followed by".... try out "?//..x..."
