U Theory and Tokoroten

• Discussion with Kinta Nakayama about [U-theory

2014-04-27 Facebook

• t> I finished reading U-theory introductory book introduced by nishio.

  • U-theory is logic in the first half, but becomes occult in the second half.
  • I know it is correct, but this is because it is correct for those who have experienced U-theory,
  • I need to convert the second half into language and logic for proselytizing.

• n> ivy (esp. Boston ivy, Parthenocissus tricuspidata) book, or the story about how saying thank you to water makes the crystals clean, I almost blew it!

• t> Is this just because the person who wrote the introductory book couldn't verbalize it and swung to the occult?

  • Is there another way to look at the big book translation?

• n> This is only my interpretation, but I think Otto Schirmer. and Peter Senge are intentionally mixing occultism.

  • Those who can identify the occult can read it and discount it, understanding that it is not the core of the argument.
    • PS: That Metaphor for explanation does not have to be true
  • Positive effect on those who cannot identify the occult.

• T> Ah, I see.　So that's how to create a self-help book for the masses.

• n> Well, it may depend on what part of Tokoroten calls occult.

  • The second half of the Introduction to U Theory is about the seminars that the translators are doing, right?
  • That is not what the big U theory says.

• n>This is what "Water message" is written on.

  • The review says, "Photos and experiments with water crystals by a Japanese man, Masaru Emoto, which are introduced in the epilogue.
    • Emerging Futures

• t> However, if you verbalize or logicize it, it becomes how, and the self is not transformed because it is executed by emulation, so maybe you are intentionally avoiding how.

• n> It is possible that the second half of the how in the Introduction to U Theory is the publisher's intention.

  • Even if he thinks, "If I write how, it's meaningless.
    • PS: Otto Scharmer's book, the big book, is not accessible to the general public as a result of trying to avoid the how.

• T> Ah, so this is a book advertising the seminar. I'm convinced.

  • Is this the approach of a religious recruiter who says that if you take a seminar, you will be enlightened?
  • In the meantime, I will read the translation of the big book one.

• For those who have experienced crystallization, U-theory is a labeling that helps to verbalize your experience Facebook

• t> U-theory is a very understandable labeling for those who have experienced crystallization, verbalizing their personal experience, but if you try to share it with others based on this label, you will fail. But if you try to share with others based on these labels, you will fail.

  • Also, U-theory requires a significant amount of tacit knowledge (knowledge management terminology), its verbalization, and its logic, which seems to be a high prerequisite.

• n> Tokoroten gave a good labeling to what I thought when I read U Theory w>U Theory is a labeling for those who have experienced crystallization that helps them verbalize their experience. - Labeling the experience

  • It's a book that assumes you have "experience" beforehand, and encourages verbalizing it, to [Be aware of it and be able to repeat it.

• t> I see, Reproduction by labeling, I hadn't thought of that point of view.

• n> I imagine it is similar to cataloging "coding styles that any competent programmer would have found on their own" with a name like "Mediator Pattern" so that conversations can be had at the level of abstraction of patterns.

Facebook - flow theory and U-theory are close, but I thought it was something different, and now I'm here to verbalize it. - [The flow is the process of using your brain to the limit to solve a problem, and then you lose your self and switch to a purely problem-solving state of mind, resulting in overwhelming performance.

• n> I wonder if flow is the state in which the distractions disappear by working on a problem of just the right difficulty level, and presenting is flow when you are working on the problem of "taking what is happening as it is and finding the structure in it".
• t> flow, an appropriate level of challenge is desirable because every time a problem arises, it blows the thinking out of the water.
  • With presenting, it's a state of being able to think comprehensively without stopping to think on the issue by gathering all the issues in advance. I wonder if it is.
  • I think the presenting is probably very similar to the state of group flow.
• Is there a difference between n> flow and group flow?
