Design communicates through a silent language comprising of impressions, facts and thoughts registered by signs symbolically charged and metaphorically patterned. Design consciousness silently responds to vibration and frequency in the form of signs, symbols, metaphor, synergy, synchronicity and analogy.
SIGNS = icons/signifiers
SYMBOLS = language
METAPHOR = grammar
sign | sīn | noun 1 an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else: flowers are often given as a sign of affection | [with clause] : the stores are full, which is a sign that the recession is past its worst. • something regarded as an indication or evidence of what is happening or going to happen: the signs are that counterfeiting is growing at an alarming rate. • [with negative] used to indicate that someone or something is not present where they should be or are expected to be: there was still no sign of her. • Medicine an indication of a disease detectable by a medical practitioner even if not apparent to the patient.

grammar | ˈɡramər | noun the whole system and structure of a language or of languages in general, usually taken as consisting of syntax and morphology (including inflections) and sometimes also phonology and semantics. • [usually with modifier] a particular analysis of the system and structure of language or of a specific language. • a book on grammar: my old Latin grammar. • a set of actual or presumed prescriptive notions about correct use of a language: it was not bad grammar, just dialect. • the basic elements of an area of knowledge or skill: the grammar of wine. • Computing a set of rules governing what strings are valid or allowable in a language or text.semantics | səˈman(t)iks | plural noun [usually treated as singular] the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning. There are a number of branches and subbranches of semantics, including formal semantics, which studies the logical aspects of meaning, such as sense, reference, implication, and logical form, lexical semantics, which studies word meanings and word relations, and conceptual semantics, which studies the cognitive structure of meaning.

Synchronicity, synergy and analogy describe methods conducive to design, design thinking and the design process.
synchronicity | ˌsiNGkrəˈnisədē | noun 1 the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection: such synchronicity is quite staggering. 2 another term for synchrony (sense 1) .synergy | ˈsinərjē | (also synergism | -ˌjizəm | ) noun the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects: the synergy between artist and record company.
analogy | əˈnaləjē | noun (plural analogies) a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification: an analogy between the workings of nature and those of human societies | he interprets logical functions by analogy with machines. • a correspondence or partial similarity: the syndrome is called deep dysgraphia because of its analogy to deep dyslexia. • a thing which is comparable to something else in significant respects: works of art were seen as an analogy for works of nature. • Logic a process of arguing from similarity in known respects to similarity in other respects. • Linguistics a process by which new words and inflections are created on the basis of regularities in the form of existing ones. • Biology the resemblance of function between organs that have a different evolutionary origin.
Meaningful and purposeful connections between all "states" of energy in motion (EIM) are made via coherent resonance, i.e. design awareness. Design awareness creates a dynamic/vibratory interface between ideas and concepts. Linear and conceptual trigrams overlap, interlock and are contained within realms, fields and states of all forms of design consciousness harbored within the changing quantum field of virtual potential (QFVP). Individually and collectively these virtual forms of consciousness qualify themselves within a context that is always changing and fluctuating.
Feelings, impressions and frequencies recognized within every conceptual trigram has the potential to expand beyond parametric constraints. Impressions and frequencies recognized and contained within the linear trigram hover closer to the attractor in the form of ideas. Together they create a creative pulsation, vibration and resonance either through attraction or repulsion. Design is the means. The dynamics designed between them likewise describes the process.

"Consciousness means awareness of otherness."
Feelings mean more than what you think.
Beauty is a design that will always remain unspoken.
Design speaks a language known only to oneself, seldom shared often misconstrued.
Design never stops designing.
“Emergent “science” is based on inclusivity and holistic thinking."

In his 2017 book, The Reading Mind, Daniel Willingham makes a strong case for the primitive nature of reading, and all of the activities it enables. He explains a simple progression, whereby our visual, spacial, tactile, and auditory senses — highly developed for survival — were coopted for the purposes of communicating bits of information between individuals. This shows up in obvious ways, such as pictography. However, it also seems to have influenced the angles and symbols we used when we developed alphabets, choosing geometries most similar to our natural environment. It seems very likely, though there is still debate, that this same process was at work in the development of all forms of symbolic reasoning.
In their article this week, Yann LeCun and Jacob Browning posit an interesting perspective on this. Language, they write, is a compression of information. Decompressing or interpreting it requires (1) shared symbols, (2) shared rules for those symbols, and (3) a shared body of information that those symbols map, or relate to. When these all hold, it’s just as well that we “prefer to text.” It’s very efficient!

“We must learn to recognize what is being revealed even though it is always open to interpretation. We are also subject to delusions and misperceptions, so we need to learn discernment. We need to focus on our own dynamic process, not just its finite contents, personalistic signs and symbols.
Images and symbols, like language, can be ambiguous. Piantadosi et al (2011) have shown that all efficient communication systems will be ambiguous, assuming that context is informative about meaning. They also argue that ambiguity allows for greater ease of processing by permitting efficient linguistic units to be re-used. We can imagine the same is true for symbols. Theoretical analysis suggests that ambiguity is a functional property of language that allows for greater communicative efficiency.
But, all we ever really talk about is ourselves and our own processes. Pioneered by William James, Sigmund Freud, and Carl Gustav Jung, Depth Psychology is the study of how we dialogue with the Unconscious via symbols, dreams, myth, art, nature. A symbol is something which can have many meanings at once. By paying attention to the messages that show up from beyond our conscious egos, we can be guide to greater understanding, transformation, and integration with the world around us, inner and outer.”

Design Hypothesis:
Consciousness is conceptual, illusional, symbolic and metaphoric in character. Consciousness is the quintessential archetype. Consciousness is the concomitant consequence associated with a range of multidimensional patterns of energy whose origin rests beyond the subconscious.
Awareness brings forward a “sense of consciousness” by fostering correspondences and fusing the concepts of meaning and purpose. Metaphysical in content and context, quantum, fractal and holographic in representation, all forms of energy/Life are revealed and made apparent by means of Design. Design is lovingly veiled in all that can be seen, known, measured and/or felt. (07.09.2023)
Design describes a metaphysical and multidimensional process. The design process is dependent upon knowledge, understanding, intention, intuition, imagination and awareness. Design creates a network of energy in motion (EIM) between fields/states/points/agents and patterns of awareness. Design creates a virtual, symbiotic and metaphoric lattice between consciousness, the subconscious and the unconscious, the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. All forms of energy in motion are based upon principles of meaning and purpose both felt and understood. (01.13.2023)
What is a designer?
Designers are men and women who are faithful and trustworthy to themselves and others, who creatively abide and amalgamate their skills and knowledge with love and integrity - the goal: personal, collective, global and soular balance and harmony. (07.01.2023)

Design embraces the unspoken word.
Be assured you will not discover all the answers to your inquiries here. Continue to investigate into your role as observer, participator and creator in a design of your own making. Be aware of the by-products and outcomes that surround your every choice and decision.
