# Art Journal ## My First Thoughts To begin with these thoughts are borrowed from [Bard & Söderqvist](www.syntheism.com) which are my friends. The realization is that Membranics is about shared imagination and Paradigmatics are the ratio about properties and [relations](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/relations/) and thus thinking in networks. Two related ideas are the imaginary order and the symbolic order. Membranics is thus about the properties of a thing and how to deliniate the borders in an intelligent manner, such that inflow and outflow is optimal for the one with optionality. Paradigmatics is about the symbolic relationships and the networks they create. So two relating ideas is nodalisation, that is also a form of membranics. Then we have globalisation that is also a form of paradigmatics. The internet or www are a global technology, and the question is not the have a view from nowhere but to have a networked view. The networked view, is also called vision-logic and there is in essence three levels of maturity of that view. Yet upon closer inspection we are probably somewhere in-between Impulsive Mind and Conformist Mind, and we are sort of breaking out of these two forms of Mind to Self-Authoring Mind. So that's where we are at, the early stages of Self-Authoring Mind. ## Quick Reflections Right, but we also have access to thoughts that are vision-logic, for example Hegel? Ability to handle contradictions is developing systemic thinking.
