The id for “pi” is a good example of replacing a symbol that has no structural similarity to the facts referred to with one that does.

The proof is always in the pudding. Shortly after posting this I decided that in use I may like just using this passive voice indicator by itself, without the “is” verb. That will cause less confusion and put the emphasis in my mind on receptivity rather than being.

Maybe I’ll type this out and put the ids between the lines later.
An idea to add: I say ids are art, and I mean it in this sense: you come up with a solution, something YOU LIKE and that works for you (which you know because it “clicks”) and you can’t really say why. (art and unknowingness). It is your subconscious– your innermost striving self– speaking, and it is telling the truth.
Another re creativity: I believe that what I am doing is probably the most creative endeavor on the planet. Not, of course, because I have a specially active or able mind, but because of the FIELD that I have set up. The project as I approach it requires, demands, and engenders prodigious creativity.

I was struck by the similarity of how approaches her art to how I approach ideograms. I’ll comment more at length later.

Ids are visual concepts. Juxtaposed, the elements combine, forning fields, and shine with unique semantic light,–vibrational, spiritual, musical.
As for my last point, that concepts have internal and external aspects, see my post “The Ideographic Familification of Concepts”. It is important to me, tho an elusive and difficult goal, to put ids into families such that similar related ideas have ideograms that are similar or have elements in common.

If anyone would like explanatory notes for this, just write and ask.

Actually, regular writing is scribbling compared to what I do. I made some delightful improvements in these 2 pages.


The first 2 ideograms are admirable, right in line with what I am doing, the last three nonsensical. There seems to be an underlying push in the culture toward icons.

In short, I don’t care about the peripheral , only about the core and structural .

notes and explanations available upon request.
I will say that the “that” in the title is a play on “beyond” and very poetically appropriate. I am not “this”– here, the manifest, what you see,– but “that”–the beyond.
