And inspired by the post I decided to try to come up with a better word for a thing I’ve been trying and repeatedly failing to communicate. I’ll try this by using oobleck as a hyphenation for concepts that are able to be soft and flexible but firm up the more force you apply to them. So oobleck-boundaries is being soft enough to be open for anything but firm up if you get pushed too hard.
Oh, I ended up (through “non-Newtonian”) with the same word for a similar idea! (I can’t find any substantial notes, just a message to myself saying “mind as oobleck”; I think I was thinking about something around how when you push against an idea, test it, examine it, the idea or [what the idea was supposed to be] is evoked more strongly and precisely.)
Here are Gendlin’s videos on Thinking at the Edge (three parts, around 20 minutes total)
