Snowmen, rolling snow, and falling icicles
You can use interactive mental images or interactive vision to imagine snowmen, rolling snow, and falling icicles that represent various things. Snowmen: - Imagine a specific number of balls of snow on top of each other. The ball shaped snow can vary in size based on importance, specific features (supporting, opposing, etc), etc. For example, the second ball of snow can be small and the third ball of snow can be big. - Each ball of snow represents something. It could represent an idea, a/an conversation/action/object/thought/place label, etc. - You could also add arms to your snowman by imagining a specific number of balls of snow connected to a side of a ball of snow. The arm should be in the most convenient place possible. Snowman interaction example: - The balls of snow are ordered from the least specific to the most specific. Rolling snow: - Imagine one ball of snow being able to roll to the top, right, bottom, and left. It could start out small and become big or it could start out big and become small or it could not change at all. The ball of snow can roll due to various events. For example, new conversation = roll right, argument = roll bottom, no new conversations (there was a chance of conversation) = roll left, settle argument = roll top. You don't need to add the left and top rolls. The left and top rolls are optional. You can make your own double combinations like right + left, top + bottom, right + bottom, right + top, left + bottom, and left + top. You could also make triple combinations like bottom + top + left and left + right + top. - Type 1: Subtraction snowball: When a snowball goes two times to the right, it becomes [two right]. If the snowball goes one time to the left, it becomes [one right]. - Type 2: Addition snowball: When a snowball goes two times to the right, it becomes [two right]. If the snowball goes one time to the left, it becomes [two right] + [one left]. - Type 3: No movement snowball: The snowball does not move. - Type 4: Movement snowball: The snowball moves. Falling icicles: - Imagine a falling icicle each time something triggers a snowman interaction, a rolling snow interaction, or something important happens. These three interactions can be used together. Falling icicle interaction examples: - Good and bad events - Arguments - Compliments - Conversations - Important points - Topics Interactive perception list
