I think the symbolism could be improved, but I still think it is great that you are experimenting with symbolism:D Symbolism is such a great way of showing what we believe in and making dragments, and it is a way of diversifying which will strengthen us.

I'm with you on the symbolism of green and black, but I'm a little sceptical of the red snowflake although I agree with the underlying meaning. It is true that red is associated with head and that the snowflake is associated with coldness, however in symbolism this doesn't necessarily translate to the conceptual metaphor of melting.

I'd perhaps suggest using the symbol that represents ice glaciers. That could be a drawing of a glacier, but it could also be a polar bear or anything we strongly /universally associate with the glaciers.

    The world is sliced up, each slice steered by a pounder whom claims overledge over all the people inside. The pounder are alived by it's veins.

    It has will, law and force. The law is to create consequence, the will is to keep itself and friends alive, the force is to realize will.

    The pounders transfers their overledge towards smaller bodies of might. Anyone breaking the overledge of might are breaking the law.

    Pumperies are those bodies who seeks to maximize production. Pumperies are protected by pounders, and pounders are kept alive by pumperies.

    Might is to steer from above, whereas force is to steer from below. Grip is that which is steered, commons is that which is ungripped.

    Friendship of might constructs cogs of efficiency, the coggery.

    Unendingly hungry. Consuming it's gulp day in day out, strengthening and greatening it's ability to consume more.

    Grab, unload, tighten. That is the way of might.

    Anyone assisting might in exchange for sallery are antlings. Many ant a third of their woken week for the coggery.

    Pumperies and antlings set up veins towards pounders to keep them alive. Giving them gulps to keep them alive.

     

    I believe in the language bondframe, and so I view language as an important tool for forwarding transformative change. Sightsteer is a tool to change our languages.

    Sightsteer is to take attention with the goal of changing attitude. In this spirit, I like to chalk because it is an expressive and accessible way of doing sighsteering.

    Here is a sighsteer with the norwegian text "samhald" translating to "samhold" or "solidarity". It is accompanied with the hitten for samhold 人人. Below it sais "eltadamon" in arabic which is the translation of samhold.

    The chinese letter rén 人 means human and represents humanity, whereas 人人 is just me making a hitten for samhold. By making hittens for important words we increase their apparent worth.

    I messed up the first chinese characters here, but I still like this sightsteer because I don't usually write arabic.

    I like to tag this everywhere because I don't think the word is used nearly enough in norwegian. We don't appreciate it sufficiently. So by increasing the exposure, we are connecting to the word and asking ourselves; What is samhold truely?

    The spiritual flag of the oakframe

    I'm making a worldview called the oakframe which was made with the purpose of better framing my worldview.

    An important idea of the oakframe is it's spiritual shoots. These are • withermight, symbolized with black - for being against might •bloom, symbolized with purple - for looking at ourselves as growing beings such as flowers or trees • samlife, symbolized with green - for living with and not against • humanity, symbolized with the chinese letter ^ - which represents centering society around humans, not might • samhold, represented with ^^ - which means weaving strong bonds in our communities.

    The five spiritual shoots can also be symbolized with a fiveclover.

    We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

    Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

    The strenghts doesn't lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

    And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

    Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.
