Reference: Data Series 12—HOW TO FIND AND ESTABLISH AN IDEAL SCENE

HOW TO FIND AND ESTABLISH AN IDEAL SCENE

In order to detect, handle or remedy situations one has to be able to understand and work out the Ideal Scene, detect without error or guess any departure on it, find out WHY a departure occurred and work out a means of reverting back to the Ideal Scene.

“Change” is the root of departures. The challenge is to isolate THE change that caused the major departure. When this change is reverted a full recovery is obtained. 

The action is always

1. Observe the decline.
2. Locate the exact change which had been made.
3. Revert THE change.
4. A return to the near ideal scene would occur if one were maintaining the ideal scene meanwhile.

.

THE IDEAL SCENE

There are two scenes:

A. The Ideal Scene. 
B. The Existing Scene. 

These of course can be wide apart. At first thought it would be very difficult for a person not an expert to know the ideal scene. But, it can be visualized and stated very simply.

HOWEVER, THE IDEAL SCENE CAN BE PUT SO FAR FROM REACH THAT IT APPEARS INCREDIBLE. 

The gap between the Ideal Scene and the Existing Scene can be very wide, and in any endeavor elements exist that tend to prevent a total closure between the two. However, approached on a gradient with skill and determination it can be done.

.

DEPARTURE

That something, real or imagined, is wrong with the scene is a not uncommon state of mind. Seeing something wrong without seeking to correct it degenerates into mere fault finding and natter. This is about as far as many people go.  

Not knowing what’s intended or being done, or the limitations of resource or the magnitude and complexity of opposition, the armchair critic can be dreadfully unreal. Violent revolution comes about when the actual Ideal Scene has not been properly stated and when it excludes significant parts of the group.

It is really not enough to natter and it’s rather too much to thrust violent change down on the heads of one and all including the objectors. What is needed in such a case is an awareness of departure from the Ideal Scene, the discovery of WHY a departure occurred and a gradient, real and determined program to return the scene closer to the Ideal. 

.

IDEAL SCENE AND PURPOSE

One doesn’t have to be much of an expert to see what an Ideal Scene would be. The entire concept of an Ideal Scene for any activity is really a clean statement of its PURPOSE. 

One has to work out fairly correctly what the purpose of an activity is and how long it is to endure before one can make a statement of the Ideal Scene. For example, the Ideal Scene of a shoe shop may be stated as, “This activity is intended to provide people with shoes for its owner’s lifetime.”

From this one can work out the complexities which compose the activity in order to establish it; and also how to spot the fact of departure from the Ideal Scene. 

.

METHODS OF AWARENESS

Statistics are the only sound measure of any production or any job or any activity. Probably the most thoughtful exercise is not conceiving the ideal scene but working out what the production statistic of it is. For here, the activity must be very correctly staticized to exactly measure the Ideal Scene.

The sole fixation on making money can depart from the scene of the shoe store. Abandonment of making any money would certainly cause a departure of the shoe store.

.

WHY 

Knowing, then, the Ideal Scene and its statistic one can notice an immediate departure from the Ideal Scene due to drop in statistics. Now that a departure is seen one can quickly go about noticing when and so get at WHY. When he has the WHY of the departure he can proceed to handle it. 

It is not possible to locate WHY the departure soon enough to remedy unless one takes the most reliable datum available—which is the datum most easily kept clean of out-points—which is a statistic. 

You don’t really even know there is a why unless there has been a departure. And the departure may be very hard to spot without a statistic. If an activity lacks an Ideal Scene and a correct statistic for it, it has no stable datum with which to rebuff opinion and out-points. To that extent the group goes a bit mad.

Reference: Data Series 10—THE MISSING SCENE

.

THE MISSING SCENE

The biggest “omitted data” would be the whole scene. A person who does not know how the scene should be can thereafter miss most of the outpoints in it.

College education became rather discredited in Europe until students were required to work in areas of actual practice as part of their studies. Educated far from reality students had “no scene” Thus no data they had was related by them to an actual activity. There was even an era when the “practical man” or “practical engineer” was held in contempt. That was when the present culture started to go down.

A good blend would be theory and practical in balance. That gives one data and activity. But it could be improved by stressing also the ideal scene.

.

BODIES OF DATA

Data classifies in similar connections or similar locations. A body of data is associated by the subject to which it is applicable or by the geographical area to which it belongs. A body of data can also be grouped as to time, like an historical period. Illogic occurs when one or more data is misplaced into the wrong body of data for it.

An example would be: “Cars were no longer in use. Bacterial warfare had taken its toll.” Cars and bacteria belong to two very different bodies of data. The brain strains to classify this disparate data together. It dreams up a new false datum to make sense out of it. In this example, it could be imagined that bacteriological warfare had wiped out all the people.

It remains that an outpoint can occur when a datum belonging to one zone of data, location or time, is inserted into another zone where it doesn’t. Primitive rejective responses to foreigners is a mental reaction to a body of people, in this case, being invaded by a person not of that tribe.

If the scene is wholly unknown, one doesn’t know what data belongs to it. Thus a sense of confusion results. There is also a reverse compulsion—to try to fit any datum found into some body of data. The mind operates toward logic, particularly in classes of things.

THE SENSIBLE HANDLING OF DATA OF COURSE INCLUDES SPOTTING A DATUM, TERMINAL, ITEM, ACTION, GROUPED IN WITH A BODY OF DATA WRONG FOR IT. AND IN SPOTTING THAT A DATUM DOES NOT HAVE TO BELONG ANYWHERE AT ALL.

When a person has some idea of the scene involved, he should be able to separate the data in it into similar groups. In general, one should be able to relate data or actions to their own classes. So there is an INCORRECTLY INCLUDED DATUM which is a companion to the OMITTED DATUM as an outpoint.

A traveler unable to distinguish one uniform from another “solves” it by classifying all uniforms as “porters.” Hands his bag to an arrogant police captain and that’s how he spent his vacation, in jail.

Lack of the scene brings about too tight an identification of one thing with another. This can also exclude a vital bit making a disassociation.

Some knowledge of the scene itself is vital to an accurate and logical assembly or review of data. The remedy of course is to get more data on what the scene itself really should consist of. When the scene is missing one has to study what the scene is supposed to consist of, just not more random data about it.

Reference: Data Series 8—SANITY

.

SANITY AND FIXED IDEAS

An observer has to be sane to sanely observe. Sanity is vital to accurate observation.

The “idée fixe” is the bug in sanity. Whenever an observer himself has fixed ideas he tends to look at them, not at the information. Prejudiced people are suffering mainly from an “idée fixe.” The strange part of it is that the “idée fixe” they think they have isn’t the one they do have.

A fixed idea is something accepted without personal inspection or agreement. It blocks the existence of any contrary observation. No actual experience alters these fixed ideas.

.

NORMAL SCENE

The reason a fixed idea can get so rooted and so overlooked is that it appears normal or reasonable. And somebody or a lot of somebodies want to believe it. Thus a fixed idea can become an ideal. It is probably a wrong ideal. A rational ideal has this law: 

THE PURPOSE OF THE ACTIVITY MUST BE PART OF THE IDEAL ONE HAS FOR THAT ACTIVITY.

Thus one can analyze for a sane ideal by simply asking, “What’s the purpose of the activity?” If the ideal is one that forwards the purpose, it will pass for sane.

There are many factors which add up to an ideal scene. If the majority of these forward the purpose of the activity, it can be said to be a sane ideal. If an ideal which does not forward the activity in any way is the ideal being stressed then a fixed idea is present and had better be inspected.

.

URGES TO IMPROVE

Sometimes the urge to improve an activity is such that it injures or destroys the activity. If one is familiar with the type of activity he must also realize that there is a law involved.

THE FACT THAT SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY OPERATING AND SOLVENT CAN OUTWEIGH THE UNTESTED ADVANTAGES OF CHANGING IT.

It is the difference between an ideal scene and a practical scene which brings down many old businesses and civilizations. Therefore, to have an ideal, familiarity with what works is desirable. It is quite possible without any familiarity, to imagine a successful ideal. BUT IT MUST NOT HAVE ANY FIXED IDEAS IN IT.

It is the fixed idea that knocks a practical operating living environment in the head. Do-gooders are always at this. They see in a row of old shacks, not economic independence and a lazy life but P-O-V-E-R-T-Y. So they get a new housing project built, shoot taxes into the sky, put total control on a lot of people and cave in a society.

Thus there should not be too wide a difference between the ideal and the represented scene. And not too wide a difference between the ideal and the actual scene.

Reality consists of the is-ness of things. One can improve upon this is-ness to bring about an ideal and lead the reality up to it. This is normal improvement and is accepted as sane.

When none of the outpoints are present, yet you do have reports and the scene is functioning and fulfilling its purpose one would have what he could call a sane scene.

.

SANITY IS SURVIVAL

Anything not only survives better when sane but it is true that the insane doesn’t survive.

The 5 primary illogics or outpoints as we call them are of course the anatomy of insanity. In their many variations the insanity of any scene can be sounded and the nucleus of it located. By locating and then closely inspecting, such a point of insanity can then be handled.
