Sensemaking Process

Sensemaking is epistemological in nature.

Sensemaking as Accounting

• ---

• Accounting of Perception, of Phenomenal Stream. Accounting of Feeling, Aesthetic Accounting; of Felt Meaning, Semantic Accounting. Narrative Accounting, accounting of aspects, of impressions, discernment of cast and plot and setting in phenomenal ensemble. There's dialogue between the Narrative Account and the Semantic Account. Satisfactory sensemaking speaks of sense of equivalence between both. Aesthesis of Narrative account yields Semantic Account. Sensemaking of Semantic Account yields Narrative Account.

Sensemaking: Assessing Familiarity

• ---

• From Aesthesis:

  • The target outcome of sensemaking is achieving a sense 'closure' that feels like a satisfactory understanding of the moment. You seek this closure for sanity — to know if the moment you're going through is something you can bear with. You make sense of the moment when you understand it in concept and feeling to achieve a closure that is semantic. Making sense is a process where you assess your feelings of satisfaction with and belonging towards the moment, looking for a sense of familiarity, contentness, and 'should-be-hereness'.

Sensemaking: Semantogenesis

• ---

• Semantic is the thread, the narrative thread product of sensemaking is semantic. Semantogenesis is the production of this thread, the production of meaning from stream of experience. Sensemaking is semantogenesis.

Semantogenesis as Scaffolding

• ---

• Sensemaking, scaffolding, finding justification on previous ontology.
