Intro to So What

Sometimes seeing the obvious is the hardest thing.

Whether you mean to or not, you think "in a default." We all do. That default comes directly from the English language.

Word order and "thought order" create context. And, how context creates and changes meaning has considerable effect.

Seeing context changes how you see. Because you think with habitual patterns, your default influences your thinking and writing, your standards, what you expect from other people, what's actually information to you, and what you ultimately say. But people have different defaults. Therefore, once aware of your default, you automatically can choose to use it wherever appropriate or to use it for other, designed options to reorder your default.

Context underlies all our sentencing; sentences "arrange" patterns of meaning. How you choose the best "arrangement" for any given situation allows you communications choices that your default alone cannot. The "So What?" of this technology applies to how you can best use it for your benefit.

In several ways on this site, you can enhance the "So What?" answers that fit your needs best. Start here to see how fixed-word order operates to create meaning in English. The site will allow you to actually "experience" English differently. An intuitive underlying structure, the fixed word-order, creates context meaning which you already know simply by speaking English. Thus, whether we consciously mean it to or not, word order makes meaning. Use the site to understand this underlying characteristic. Summarized: change the pattern, change the meaning. Either by default or design, you can "see" and express insight differently with multiple perspectives, solve professional or technological problems, say the "unsayable," understand why people act and react the ways that they do, or augment technology with fifth generation solutions.

Redesign meaning and you solve problems. Communicate better and better; see your own ideas in new light; think in ways you can't, on your own, think.

For technology, the ordering of thought redefines meaning itself. Use the site for the first step, shifting your paradigm.
