the elimination of jargon is a tough problem in education and inferential bridging
the semantic/conceptual mapping is the easiest way to cross bridges
each concept/idea/inference that can be referred to and then “headnodded” at each other for confirmation of understanding
saves a couple of sentences of explanation that could have been shorthanded with a word (often jargon)
the issue with the “feynman idea” of explaining things so that a child can understand something
is that there’s often a tradeoff of whether to continue to go further beyond the inferential frontier
while also bridging inferential tethers to those closer to the edge of the frontier, so there’s some semantical representations that can form connective tissue
as a “testbed” for
“knowing the words” to explain what is learned beyond the frontier to a wider and wider group of peopleone way to resolve this is via a group of experts (professors, other PhDs, other investors, other founders, other scientists)
that is the most common methodology
another methodology is via consilience and treating various fields pointing to the same findings as an empirical basis for evidence
the advantage here is being able to go further alone
and then trace back with vertical experts across various fields
with this it’s possible to create “weighting of evidence” across fields across multiple frontier folks
this reduces the burden of evidence for a single person or single group to confirm learnings/discoveries via wayfinding (referred in previous posts as discursive thought or research or venture backed startup)
