I got a link to your Blog from your post in JCS-Online, and your article on visualization here, caught my eye.

Your piece and your writing is scholarly, rich and informative. Being on another end of a more kinesethic-visual spectrum, I admire and am inspired by those who have the gifts to research, organize and write as you do.

In "my work", I seem to have cored down to, in theory, one more robust symbol, exemplified in the energetic, tactile-oriented model shown at my site. My belief is *feel*, doing "braille" -- performing the subtle, very low energy exercises inside the model -- oddly enough, imparts useful units of physical intuition directly and can be done in the dark yet still aiding in changing and making improvements in science-oriented visualization.

The upshot is a certain type of common denominator --presently "visible" just a few highly compressed, terse text expressions such as: "Reality is structured duality", that is, the underlying principle is pattern is important (thus, our deep love affair with "visualizations"); or, "Imagine consciousness as a single internal analog language made of ordered water forged during respiration in concert with experience" -- that is, how could the dominant pattern(s) we're all made of and regenerating as we live and breathe not play a role in our low level reflections?

Thanks for your contributions.

Best regards,
Ralph Frost
