Dear Filippo,
I think you are duplicating Terry's Love Knot.
That is, you are giving a priority to the individual visualization as something held separate to the larger language communication.
This duplicates Terry's prior biological event - it is a positive moment in a system that is necessarily negative.
When you allow the communication loop to modify the internal activity you are clearly no longer constrained by an "internal" event - the common nature of your experience of an internal event is the ground for the event being common and hence open to alteration at all points in the loop.
The loop must be radically open (or able to be opened, by a disruption) or else it is a KNOT (a tying off of a dynamic).
If you see the system as being intrinsically closed, then it is a delusion.
Language is everywhere in what you describe.
cheers
Keith

What I'm saying is that my internal processes (I'm not sure I'd call them
intrapsychic - I don't know that much about psychology) are fundamentally
visual. That's how things come to me when they come "naturally." Even if
I'm listening to someone speak to me, or reading an email, I "get it" when I
see a picture in my mind. When I conceptualize them for the purpose of
sharing them, I do it in pictures, or in words, or as equations, or a CAD
drawing or a prototype, or whatever else gets the job done. Here, in this
forum, I'm stuck with text. C'est la vie.
And when I design, I'm doing something internal. I might then externalize
it with language or something else, but I see that act as separate from the
design act that preceded it. When I get some kind of response to my
externalization (a reply from a colleague or whatever), a new internal
activity gets triggered and I design some more. Even when I'm doodling on a
sheet of paper or working with some equations, I see it as sort of a closed
loop. I internally think something, doodle/write it out, then receive it
back again as an input that triggers some other internal activity.
"We" might choose to use text as the primary mode of communication, but I
believe it's just that - a choice (of course grounded in a very weighty
history and cultural precedents).
