Communication through language is a projection. You will always lose resolution when you try to communicate an idea. Ideas in your mind are non-linear and complex, but on a page, they will always be linear, just as our language is linear. ![[Always a Projection 2025-02-16 23.15.47.excalidraw.png]] %%[[Always a Projection 2025-02-16 23.15.47.excalidraw.md|🖋 Edit in Excalidraw]]%% Pictures do a better job communicating because they represent information non-linearly. This is why a good picture is worth millions of words. This is also why diagrams are important. Though, effective visual communication requires artistic and design skills. Now this isn't the end of the world. We are able to reconstruct complex ideas from linear communication. And our brains are kind of designed to do so. But that construction is done by the reader, and each reader has a different algorithm to do so. Furthermore, another limitation is that each piece can only cover so much ground. You can only say so much in one coherent article because you don't want to ramble forever. This limitation is a problem because no idea exists in isolation. Every idea is influenced by the context that surrounds it. Without you directly telling the audience what said context is, they will infer with their own context, which might not be what you intend. ![[Always a Projection 2025-02-16 23.32.54.excalidraw.png]] %%[[Always a Projection 2025-02-16 23.32.54.excalidraw.md|🖋 Edit in Excalidraw]]%% All this is to say that my work, and all work, should be taken as such. # ============= 2025-02-17: [[Always a Projection 0.1]] (C)(P)
