Far from it &#8212; part of the motivation behind my development of the <strong>DoubleQuotes <\/strong>method was the sense that it&#8217;s a built-in human mental process, analogical or horizontal thinking, powerfully important when poets, scientists and others make &#8220;creative leaps&#8221; across disciplines and silos, typically leaping &#8220;out of the box&#8221; of conventional assumptions, in a direction opposite to that of linear logic..<\/p>\n<p>In fact, this analogical thinking may be a more powerful aspect of human thought &#8212; but it&#8217;s one that is often down-played in our obsession with linear thinking. My <strong>DoubleQuotes <\/strong>method merely formalizes a pre-existing, almost instinctual process.<\/p>\n<p>I do think, however, that practicing this form of thinking, which the <strong>HipBone analytic formalism<\/strong> invites us to do, will reinforce our ability to think across silos and disciplinary boundaries, and make those all-important <strong>creative leaps<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p>At this point, thirteen devices have been found. Let&#8217;s pray there are no copy-cats, and in particular none annoyed at the lack of professional skill in the current suspect&#8217;s bomb-making, with the skills to carry out less easily intercepted and more potentially fatal variant attacks.<\/p>\n<p>**<\/p>\n<p>Use this to plot your own leap, see if it works for you:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zenpundit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/QUO-dq-blank-mini.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61277\" \/><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ by Charles Cameron &#8212; a note on mental process ] .
