Mapping: Love




Deliberate Steps.
Structured Talk.
Sequence of ideas.
Responsible for self.
Responsible to community.


A community of two,
becomes one.
What relational thinking
are we constructing?

We could execute
procedures
we memorized.

It’s not what I desire
to observe.


Our discourse
(planned at full moon night)
worthwhile till disconnect.

Procedural;
Step by step.
Direct model.
One to one correspondence.

From couch to bed
In 60 seconds flat.
Litters,
the science of procreation
with pleasure.

Relentless in our practice,
High expectations.
Selecting and sequencing,
To make sense of…
“things”.




II. Direct Model


Direct Model: Joining.
It’s hard (i.e. difficult)
To have 2 seals on a rock,
2 swimming in the ocean…
(and all I can think of is you…)
There is no key word to indicate operation.

The action of joining-
They jumped in to join the swimming seals…
1 man + 1 woman
Result: Unknown.

1+1 =




A touch to cube,
Pulling toward self.

Derived facts:
Separating.

Not a sense of step,
but a relationship
Where numbers commune,
communicate on a number line.
Adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
are not procedures
but relationships.

What connections are left?
And are they true for every situation?
Would you conjecture with me?
(I wonder…?)
Or are we just a broad generalization of failure?

Analyze this:
Which relationship might simplify the solution to the problem?

To be joined
or separate?

To sort the factors,
Graph the results
Determine the end result?
A pictorial depiction of the relationship….


Do the genuine questions I ask myself
Reveal the pattern,
Or disclose the operation?

Are we just a direct model
Or does our relationship
Advance our thinking?

In the name of Algebra
And all that is math
Can we make the connection?
