representational inquiry
The pages under tab 4 are dedicated to addressing how this Project's discourse might be creatively and beautifully presented. The expression/representation of ideas will not only affect what is being communicated; it can also provide a mirror for seeing the ideas themselves in new ways. The ideas are in dialogue with the way they're presented. This is especially true with regard to this Project's inherent visual language system. Visual elements diagrammatically express the Project's logic, but they may also be used metaphorically, symbolically, and creatively. Just as poetry can give expression to that which defies words, so too can visual metaphor and symbolism, and doing so will in turn affect how the ideas are conceived.
On tab 4 pages the basic elements of the Project's presentation are explained, including how letters are assigned, what colors represent, how shapes are used as diagrams, and how all of the above might be used symbolically. Eventually, creative narratives are to be added which explore how these elements might be used to give beautiful and compelling expression to the content and spirit behind the ideas presented under tabs 0-3. Overall, the purpose the presentations is to be pedagogical, and the delivery aims for beauty. What wisdom do we wish to impart, and how can we present it beautifully?
