[edit] 01.03.06

Two persons are getting information from a source.

Everybody is associating with the single words other things. They wouldn't understand each other, because they have different definitions of the words.

Their communication may look like this:

Both persons are sharing their associations around the single words.

Their communication may look like this:

In detail everybody has got some associations with single words.

You could share these associations. Then everbody is doubling his or her knowledge around this single word.

How to do this? Here is a suggestion:

You take a single <word>
Everybody is writing a sentence. Always starting with <word>
You get to know other's associations with this specific <word>

You should get something like this:

Person A: <word> is ...
Person B: <word> looks like...
Person C: <word> has got the following functions
.
.
.

and so on.

Like the idea behind wikipedia. Sharing information. But sharing them around single words.

Basic idea behind:

language carries information
the single word is the first module
the single word is understood very different, because humans are different.

Person A has losely connected some words.

Person B too:

Now they start sharing their associations around these single words and they are both profiting from it. Their network of associations has grown and is now stronger than before.
