Playfair an error correction protocol?

Playfair an error correction protocol?

Glen,

After today’s class and the limited experience I’ve had doing the Playfair protocol I have noticed a tendency or perhaps I should call it a "trend-ency".

It seems that within the execution of the Playfair protocol there is built-in error correction. I noticed today that the further I got into the matrix in the Sights column there was a trend toward refinement of what I was seeing on blackboard _in spite of apparently erroneous or non-significant data in the other columns.

I have noticed this same "trend-ency" when doing the Playfair matrix on other targets.

Do you think this is simply a matter of "focusing in" or a sorting out of the real from the imaginary with each successive recursion? IOW, does the Playfair Data Collection Matrix have built-in error correction?

Bear,

The working of the collection matrix Playfair is very telling for the analysts. The sorting of data into credible data originating from the target and less than credible data originating from your imagination creativity is usually first spotted in Playfair.

Playfair allows for the tracking of data threads. The entire threads ring true or false with the target. Once you the viewer gets the feedback you must isolate these threads and understand the source of the data.

The first thing viewers will point out in their work (Playfair) is "look here this was on target". Yes! so recognize the target data, relive that moment of collection. The senses, the feel of it when you collected it.

Then focus your attention on the bad data and understand what the source was. Bounce the feel of it against the good data. Readjust your collection procedures to stay on the good threads and abandon data threads that don’t feel correct and are suspect.

The Playfair Matrix is not truly error correcting because it still allows you to record bad data. At this point you need both. You are learning what to listen to. It is error correcting in that it allows you to keep contamination out of good threads of data.

After you learn how to listen then it can keep you on target. But remember this is a low level data acquisition. You need to firm up your contact line with the target before you attempt to collect higher level data.

In other words… the subtle, out-of-left-field data that at the time makes no sense IS CORRECT!

The data.. that really feels like BOY! THAT MUST BE WHAT THE TARGET IS! Bampff! Usually wrong.

You will gnash your teeth and pull out your hair before you get a grip on this. Expect that. Keep working. When you get a string of data that leaves you more confused than enlightened (for now) you’re probably on target.

Yes but there is also a differant physical feeling that goes with congruant target data. A very specific signiture feeling.

You get to know it by recalling what it felt like when you collected congruant data, and letting go of anything else.

When you know that feeling and won’t settle for less, then you get hot, and follow that feeling writing furiously, not caring what you are writing, except it is an accurate description of what you see/experience, because you are in hot persuit of the feel of the target signiture. That is what makes Rv so addictive, the rush of the signal line feeling, validated by good target data :) Better than drugs…LOL

Which drugs?

Which drugs?

Got me, I never liked feeling out of control so I didn’t do drugs, but this I can get into…LOL

Free, legal, not fattening and healthy! Now that’s a combination :)

Glen,

IOW, Practice! Practice! Practice!

Thanks,
