Relations between objects and ontological jitter ​

💡 A good result of reading this section is that you can successfully sense "ontological jitter" and know what can be done about it. You understand the relationships between objects (so that the "jitter" works as it should).

Ontological Jitter

"Jitter" is a characteristic feeling that arises when there are impermissible operations with objects happening in front of you, a feeling of error.

Usually, a student's path looks like this:

• natural state, unrecognized feeling of errors, and spontaneous actions to correct them.

• I know many different concepts, notice many different errors, experience a lot of inconvenience about it, try to fix everything.

• I know even more different concepts, try to see what the person meant behind the mistake, consciously make decisions about actions.

What can be recognized as an error and cause jitter?

• Unclear reference, it was not clear enough what is meant;
• Violation of logic (unsubstantiated conclusion);
• Incorrect typing, an unacceptable combination of types (for example, comparing incomparable things);
• Groups objects in a class that belong to different types or do not have, in your opinion, common properties;
• Incorrect use of role context.

And so on.

Most likely, you already notice some feeling in this place. It is probably somewhat uncomfortable and arises in communicative situations when something is completely incomprehensible to you, sometimes even so 'completely incomprehensible' that it cannot be specified what exactly and to what extent.

We suggest you take the "jitter" out of automatism, tune and put it back.

💡 The jitter can act as a signal that an error has occurred somewhere and now everything is getting tangled up because of it. Based on this signal, you can initiate a check based on a certain checklist, quickly identify errors in ontology, language usage, communication, and so on, --- and understand how it can be corrected.
