The CrossThis takes the definition of opposites. At first we have a condition in which it is either possible to have all items checked or left unchecked.
At this point it is possible to have only have the items checked. This creates another set of opposites. In one side of the board one half of the items are checked. On the other half of the board the other half of the items are checked.
In this definition it is possible for something to move from one condition to the other. In fact the normal conditions are that the item in question has potential to change or is in a constant state of change.
These conditions exist for everything that exists in some fashion or another. A glass of water is a good example as well.
Ex. Top (All checked off) | | Left (Left half checked)---------------------------- Right (Right half checked) | | Bottom (All left unchecked)
Ex Full Glass | | Frozen water ------------------- Mist vapor | | Empty Glass
The Checker BoardThis uses the idea of the cross. Only in this case it isn’t possible to move from one extreme to the other normally. Each section forms its own separate and unique area.
Ex. Top Section ------------------------------------------------------------ Left Section | Right Section | ------------------------------------------------------------- Bottom SectionThe LadderThis uses the idea of the checkerboard and mixes it with the idea of positive and negative. It is possible for in some instances to follow either the idea of the checkerboard or that of the cross. Each condition though is only valued at one or the other, never as both.
This states that you can stack each condition on top of each other. This causes a ladder style effect.
Ex. Top ------------------------------------- Above Middle ------------------------------------- Below Middle ------------------------------------- Bottom
Ex. Top | | Above Middle | | Middle | | Below Middle | | Bottom FadingThe principle of fading uses both the ideas of the checkerboard and that of the ladder. In the use of the checkerboard each of the four sections are separated and unique.
Illustration. Area One ------------------------------------- Area Two | Area Three ------------------------------------- Area Four
Using the idea of the ladder each section now becomes stacked upon each other. This signifies first that each area is still separate. It will also show that some areas are considered lower then others.
Illustration.
Area One -------------------------------- Area Two -------------------------------- Area Three -------------------------------- Area Four
To understand the idea of fading brings in a whole new principle. As in the checkerboard there are still four unique areas. Each area however contains properties of the area next to it.
Each area contains a set of three properties. The first is for itself. The second is for the area above it. The third is for the area below it.
This effect also indicates the possibilities of more then four levels. This is especially true on the top or bottom level. If there weren’t an additional level on either side, then it wouldn’t in theory be possible to have the third property.
As travel goes from one area to the next certain properties must be abandoned. It is also necessary for new properties to be assumed. It is this action that is called fading.
Illustration. Properties Area Above Own Below Level One 0 1 2 Level Two 1 2 3 Level Three 2 3 4 Level Four 3 4 5 |
