A suggestion for the group. I have finished Appendix C and found it fairly easy to get through, and though there is plenty to discuss, I want more so I am going to go ahead and read the first two appendices as well. I think we could handle this quite easily and hope someone else has the time to do this, too, for I would love to hear what others think. I sense there are connections between some of our most recent conversations on alphabets, hands, and the experiments we did with alternate ways of knowing and our group map-making. I have been trying to figure out for most of my adult life what a symbol does and now feel hopeful we are starting to get a glimpse into how language happens. Synesthesia, as demonstrated in this brief clip, is probably the basis for all abstraction.
