Topic: Lexiblog

The lexiblog is a concept of blogging and building a lexicon at the same time - two components which cannot be disconnected without breaking the idea of how I write and think. It is like ying and yang.

In this manner the lexiblog is complex as far as it reflects my complex way of explicit thinking.

The river: the blog

The blog is a constant river of thoughts and ideas, written down and kept in chronological order. Its artefacts are articles, consistng of text, pictures and references.

Each article is always a representation of now. It cannot be seen without the context of time. It reflects my current attention on the one hand, while my surroundings reflect on the article.

The river is the place of force and energy.
It changes from being fast and deep, slow and shallow, of high or low density.
Its direction changes, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
The river moves you, it is provocative and not always convincing.
It is the place to gain drive.

Articles give the concrete stories.

The garden: the lexicon

The lexicon is a garden of topics I care about. They are defined, then then constantly refined and connected by their relation to eachother. Main topics hold all subtopics I care about most.

Topics has a relative long life, although some were more important to me in the past and some others will be in future.

The garden is the place of piece and quietness.
It is humble in its nature and a place you want to return to.
Its changes are nimble, subtle.
It requires time to explore it, and even more time to see it evolving.
It is the place to gain deeper understanding.

Topics give the big picture.

The connection of the forces

Each article is referred to topics for to be ordered and easier revealed., whereas topics refer to articles for to be represented in concrete thoughts. Topics would be too abstract without articles, articles would be to diverse and random in order to understand what I care about.

Connections provide greater meaning.
