Constructive Recollection

This philosophy is the second time I naturally arrived at a point of inescapable necessity. The first figures were created in 1982, when this happened for the first time. The difference between then and now, is how I believe people are connected to each other.

First, I thought we all lived in our own world and were only connected through behavior.

Now, in August of 2007, I think we must always be connected to our significant other, by independent confirmation of the forms we recollect and construct, from the depths of our being to the utmost periphery, believing them to fit our one and common world intuitively yet precisely, until we realize our dream, or we realize our mistake.

The screenshots above show how PMM was used to develop my personal philosophy from one day to another (June, 2009). It is the same sheet, the latest one in a series of hundreds and it is used to track my changing, developing and returning thoughts, strictly as they happen. Notes were downsized to the acronyms  of their labels, perfectly familiar and instantly knowledgeable only to me, and behind each of these can be many pages of text when they have been used and reused often (e.g. the red note with 73 relations to other notes only a few of which were needed for this sheet or context now). The abbreviated relations (in Dutch, e.g. "LDT" means "Leads To" - it is up to you to name these) describe how my thoughts actually, unexpectedly, even mysteriously developed say over the past week, and they are the strongest and latest arguments I definitely wish to keep for now and hopefully much longer. Slowly but surely this 'thoughts roadmap' will develop, slightly change each time and draw me towards it whenever I need, really need, to regain clarity and distinctness in my own mind. And what is more, I learn it and end up knowing the whole scheme that was tailor-made for me, instantly!
