Alternative System Mind Mapping Method for Communication

[DISCLAIMER: This is not a professional or scientifically or anything really backed method, this is something coming solely from peer / personal experience.]

In regards to an anon ask earlier, I was thinking about it and one of the ways we've approached improving communication - particularly internal - in a way that is a lot less prone to flooding or dealing with trauma or anything too overwhelming - is by approaching it following the concept of Memory Webs

I haven't read up on them recently, but "Memory Webs" were a thing that our AP Psychology teacher in highschool made us do because the AP Psych test was term / jargon heavy. Memory in the human brain has been shown to be HEAVILY associative and the ability to remember and connect things tends to rely on following a "web" of connected topics, ideas, concepts etc from one idea to the next.

So in our AP Psych class, she gave us these GIANT books for Vocabulary Webs that we had to slowly work on, each of which required 6 other vocab words / related concepts, a summarized definition, and an image to represent it. By doing this, you added 6 cues to recall the word (increasing the chance you'd remember it), a visual cue, an episodic memory of working on it, and a definition - all in all improving how connected the word is to other concepts in your brain and making it easier to recall it.

I personally like to look at DID and our parts in a similar manner sometimes where the large issue is that a lot of the nodes in the web of associations are either disconnected or connected through a hard-to-find and/or small chain. In that sense, parts struggle to be held together because they are not associated concepts. It's hard to reach other parts because the dissociative walls (which in our unsubstantiated opinion is less a 'wall' and more so a lack of reinforced neural connections, so I would call them dissociative caverns) keep associations from forming

As a result, alternative to more traditional ways of mapping your system and parts, a method I've liked to internally visualize systems and navigating system dynamics is through a memory web manner. (I actually have never done it physically cause the Ray part of my brain - also the most prominent part writing this rn - rarely liked to front if he didn't have to and did a lot of stuff internally)

Here's a bit of a breakdown using six of our parts if any of you want to try it out.

We personally like it because it strips a lot of trauma and stress off of it and makes it a lot more of a positive and present engaging activity. For the purposes of this, I'll be using the free online app of Milanote cause we've used it before for OC associative webs and I think it'll do fine enough. (Honestly it actually might just be a good way to log alter information now that I'm looking at it if you are at a place in recovery where keeping track of that physically helpful)

So we can start by dropping down the parts we want to include in the form of boards

So from here, we have a bunch of disconnected parts. However, we find that a lot of these parts have things that mean a lot to them, that illicit a strong emotion or reaction from them.

Some parts may lack it more than others (often in our case trauma holders and/or trauma locked parts) and that's okay and to be expected. This is a visualization method and if there isn't much connecting a part that is 100% okay.

For demonstration sake, I will now add bubbles around each part of things that were pretty early apparent that each individual liked.

Also for the purposes of how I know our system works and how I plan to do this, I am actually moving Riku to the center and you will all see why Riku is such an S tier center point with this model

So you can see some connections forming.

Some key things you can take from this visual that also applied to earlier stags of how we connected

Lucille and Riku are and have always been pretty darn connected, they go back as one of the longest duos and were split almost as a pair to deal with academics

Chunn and Ray have a very shared interest of "I don't want to do anything leave me alone"

XIV literally was just a piece of shit early on and didn't have any immediate HARD connections with anyone largely because he never was interested in actually engaging in things he liked in a positive way as his "favorite emotion" at the time was "being pissed off"

Lin - an originally trauma stuck / loop - is very very poorly associated with anything that isn't overtly trauma related (and that is saying something cause Vocaloid is trauma related) and thus has very few connections to other parts

So looking at this though, there are a few things that have some similarities between parts. What you can do is make plans to try to foster the interests that you do have and try to generalize it a bit more to also encompass what interests other parts have. So lets engage in hobbies a little more - explore a few concepts that mean a lot to parts independently - and find some more generalized version of those hobbies

(forgot to add easy listening to Ray's and "only wearing monochrome*" to XIV's earlier) (*there are a lot of nuances and caveats)

Damn, look at that. It's messy and ugly to have in a 2D form. I absolutely hate it, this would be so impossible with our whole system. But HEY, it's very connected - and that's the goal.

Compared to the previous one, you can see how easily it can be for one part's interests to start to drift into another. Because they are largely and strongly associated features to each part, they are a lot more accessible when engaging in their shared / associated connections and interests which makes it easier for the them to stay together near the front, stay associated with one another, and work with and communicate with one another.

Of course anyone following this blog goes "Where tf is Birds" and that I left out because it would ruin the point of the web as it actually is one of our traditional "you are around the system a lot? okay pick a bird" which serves to 1) be a fun system culture thing 2) be a means of welcoming a part in and 3) helps establish a foundational connection; we do the same with music but with music its a lot more elaborate and I probably wont explain it for other reasons.

But overtime, by fostering interests that were already present and encouraging parts to broaden and generalize their specific interest a bit, you end up with a lot of overlapping associations that can greatly improve internal communication, co-fronting ability, and just general fluidity and easy of moving around the brain web.

It becomes a good way of trying to figure out what you can do to encourage and help build connections and associations between parts by seeing where things are similar / could have more overlap (combat and martial arts, different types of fashion, different types of music, different appreciation for arts, taking over the world, yada yada yada)

And you wanna know the coolest thing? When you step back from the whole web you can see certain things appear that stand out the most and have some of the most connections.

If you ever intend to go to Final Fusion, those are the things that will likely be the most prominent traits of your whole self

For us? [REDACTED BIRDS for the point of the demonstration], Music, Fashion, Taking over the World, Recovery and Healing, Buddhism, Martial Arts, Arts in general - they're all some of our largest traits that persist in almost all forms as individual parts, partially fused parts, and fully fused parts.

And the BEST part? Doing this didn't require us to touch trauma at all.

Of course in recovery that will come up cause PTSD doesn't ask permission, but its a very low stress way to help improve internal communication and engagement with one another.

Here’s some motives for your whumpers!

TW for a lot of things- but it’s only mentioned

I’ve probably missed a tonne of things, but thought it might be fun to try using a mindmap.

Also, here are the links to the series’ that I’ve mentioned:

Play Pretend by @oddsconvert

Brother’s Keeper by @darkthingshappen

Whumping the Whumpers by @painsandconfusion

The Kennel and Behaviour Modification by @whumpcereal

(Also gonna mention that there are multiple motives in these stories, not just the ones I put them under)

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 15 tips through 15 days— follow me for more study tips and aesthetic content.

tip number five: practise effective note-taking techniques.

Note-taking is the fundamentals of your higher education, and can only come by practising. Simply jotting down what you see from a slideshow is not the most effective way to understand and retain the information. Active note-taking techniques, like the Cornell method and mind mapping, can change the way you retain and process information.

The Cornell note-taking method is a structured approach that emphasises organisation and involvement. Divide your note-taking paper into three sections: one on the left, one on the right, and one at the bottom. Take notes in the right-hand column during the lecture or reading, focusing on major concepts, key points, and supporting info. After the lecture, go back your notes and jot down prompts or keywords that summarise the information in the right column in the left column. Write a brief summary of the entire page of notes in the final section. This summary serves as a quick reference for future reference.

Mind mapping is a visual note-taking approach that utilises diagrams to communicate conceptual links. Begin at the centre of your page with a key point, central idea or topic. Extend the basic theme with subtopics or main points. Connect them using lines. Expand on each subtopic with relevant details, examples, and supporting information. Make your mind map more aesthetically appealing and remembered by using colours, symbols, and images.

The connecting element among all strategies is active participation. Actively digesting material while taking notes, rather than simply writing words, it increases cognitive involvement. As a result, comprehension, memory retention, and recall improve during tests or assignments.

Active participation also fosters critical thinking. You're essentially analysing the material as you go while you're organising thoughts, summarising stuff, and visually showing linkages. This practice increases higher-order thinking skills, making it simpler to comprehend complex issues and efficiently apply your knowledge.

Movement 13-01-24

After brainstorming the word Movement, I've settled on the Yellow River as the foundation for my project. It is a stream, a tributary of the River Boyne, that flows through our farm back in Offaly. The River Boyne is one of Ireland's most mythologically significant rivers with interesting tales and legends associated with its origin.

Throughout the project, I tried my best to tie each of the electives together. I used my printmaking material in both my stop motion animation and plastic sculptural work. I also projected my animation across the prints and sculptures towards the end of the project.

While I won't be picking a discipline as a B.Ed student, I will integrate the different skills I learned in these electives into my teaching practice going forward. I hope to bring what I learned with this project into the classroom and get students passionate about animation, printmaking and sculpture, all of which are lacking in today's second level art education.

I hope to convey the movement of this stream throughout the project while also delving into the lore and myths about the river that have survived the passage of time.

The River Boyne is linked to the Irish goddess Boann. She is said to have meddled with Connla's Well by walking counter-clockwise around it. This led to the waters of the well rushing up and catching Boann in a flood. She lost an eye, arm and leg in the waters which later became the River Boyne. I find the imagery of this mythology so surreal and captivating and I intend to implement it into my exploration of movement.

Another aspect of the Boyne's history I find interesting is its name. The word Boyne comes from the Irish "bó fhionn" which translates to "white cow". This ties my idea closer to home as we have one Charolais Limousin cross cow that has a pale coat. She will be a part of my primary research going forward. Above is the start of my exploration of ideas in my sketchbook.

The Radius Project : Researching ‘The Statue of Quimper’

I did some research on the statue and gained some knowledge and story behind the statue Rowan Gillespie created. Including some cut outs of glass work to figure out if I can think of a concept relating to the statue.

Hours later I thought of a concept to create a statue of a dancer to match the woman holding the tambourine. To have both individuals blend and harmonise through music I want to create that effect on how both cities also live in harmony and tranquility.

mindmapping is the only way i can learn biophysics

i've never been a science person, but in 11th grade (when i started preparing for the med school admission exam) i developed an interest for chem/bio. however, math and physics were still my enemy :)

≈3 years later, i find them kind of cool, actually! i'm planning on trying to learn the basics of physics this summer. i think it would be cool

In the second half of the day, we went into groups of four and brainstormed our brief, PORTAIT.

I found this very helpful and Sylvia encouraged us to be free and not to think too hard about the words or the little drawings.

As a group we became focused on childhood teddies and how different people sleep in different positions and it tells you something about them as a person. So when Sylvia asked us to make a simple 3D piece from newsprint, we decided to make our teddies.

I made my turnip squishmallow.

I really like how it turned out, it was a pretty simple thing to make but I think it was very effective.

semester end assignments comprised of two essays :

Keats' contribution to Romantic Movement

Industrial Revolution and Literature

and one illustrative mind map on the Middle Ages

i haven't done projects nor any work that requires artistic investment since 2019 because well

making the mind map was so satisfying but definitely tiring

but i feel it's a little too over the top and i should have toned the colours down a bit

loved drawing the plague doctor though

Movement - Time & Nature

Continuing with research week I began to look at how time affects nature, I looked at how the movement of the moon affects the push and pull of the tides. I also looked at how the seasons change over time from Spring to Summer to Autumn to Winter and how I could visualise this. I'm going to be diving into my sculpture elective next week and I look forward to expanding on this theme more.
