“How intricately to weave the key today?” The ever reoccurring question that adorns his mind.
I have become interested in the idea of a person’s daily Lexicon. How the Rudiments of daily conversation and interaction develop and why they seem to be so different. These differences are the important part. They may be shown to be extremely stark, or almost non-existent. What matters is how one Weaves their key.
His mind fighting through a mountain of fog, the ludicrous words flow like soup. They definitely need salt.
The Lexicon of literal language we all carry around in our mind will vary from person to person, but the figurative Lexicons that form as a result of one’s interaction with the everyday… those interest me greatly. For this topic of “Rudiment” I have decided to work in a multi-media format. My starting point was the idea of a ‘mind-map’, and the result comes from the organic growth from this initial starting point. A mind-map makes many allowances for such growth, and it is for this reason I decided on it, and used its form in the process of exploration here.
This is too far gone. No one will appreciate such an intricately unique key. That is fine, he tuts. That’s half the point anyway.
