1 Ideograms in Polyscopic Modeling Dino Karabeg Department of Informatics University of Oslo Der Denker gleicht sehr dem Zeichner, der alle Zusammenhänge nachzeichnen will. (A thinker is very much like a draughtsman whose aim it is to represent all the interrelationships between things.) Abstract Ludwig Wittgenstein We argue that the task of representing interrelationships between things requires the use of visual techniques. Our common verbal factual approaches to information tend to miss something essential the "perspective". In the article the perspective is defined and explained with the help of a visual technique, the ideograms. It is shown that ideograms can be used for expressing and correcting the perspective. Methodologically, the article is an introduction to ideograms as an information design technique. Eight applications of ideograms are discussed. Introduction Information is not only a collection of verbal facts, or in any case it should not be that. We show that verbal factual informing lacks something essential the "perspective", as we call it. By using a visual technique the ideograms we are able to define the perspective, explain why it is lacking in verbal factual information and express it a variety of situations. We also discuss a closely related theme, the role of art in informing. At present, science and art are two strictly divided realms of culture, while informing is restricted to describing daily events and separated from both. Polyscopic modeling [2] is a non-traditional approach to informing in which the orientations and methods of science and art are combined, adapted and made applicable to any issue. We point to several essential functions that ideograms an artistic technique fulfill in polyscopic modeling. We show that ideograms complement verbal factual information. From the technical point of view, this article is an introduction to ideograms and their use in information design. The article is a continuation of [3] where the scientific usage of ideograms in polyscopic modeling is explained. Here we focus on ideograms as an artistic technique and discuss the artistic approach and criteria in informing. The article is structured as two parallel narratives. Each of the eight sections of the article presents an example of an ideogram. Those examples demonstrate various functions that ideograms can perform in information design. At the same time, each of the ideograms conveys a message. Taken together, those messages compose a coherent narrative about the polyscopic modeling approach to information design [1], showing why ideograms are needed in that approach, explaining how art and science are combined and why such combination is natural and necessary. Each ideogram is explained in terms of three notes. The Explanation is a discussion of the graphic form of the ideogram from which the message of the ideogram follows. The Usage highlights the specific function of ideograms that the ideogram represents. The Message is an approximate verbal interpretation of the meaning of the ideogram. When an ideogram has more than one possible interpretation we use the interpretation that suits our narrative. 1. Depicting abstract ideas Figure 1. Yin-Yang ideogram.

2 1.1. Explanation The circle is a universal symbol of the whole. "Yin" and "yang" are generic names for two polar opposites. In a narrower sense, they denote light and darkness. The Yin-Yang ideogram (see Figure 1) suggests that every whole has a visible and an obscure aspect Usage Ideograms depict and symbolize abstract ideas, giving them body and shape so that we can see them, grasp them, talk about them and relate to them emotionally. The Yin-Yang ideogram symbolizes the idea of a whole as consisting of a bright and a shadow side Message The message of the yin-yang ideogram is that every whole has a visible and a hidden aspect. Human judgment is deceived by seeing only what is apparent, considering that as the whole and making conclusions based on such limited vision. Wisdom means conscious striving to uncover what is subtle and hidden in order to complete, balance and correct the understanding of the whole Usage Ideograms are a useful tool for defining abstract concept. Analogies with physical objects and situations, which can easily be expressed by pictures, allow us to apply insights from a familiar context in an unfamiliar one. In this example the concept "perspective" is defined with the help of an ideogram by alluding to the etymological meaning of the word "perspective" which is "seeing through". The relationship between information and perspective is explained. It is suggested that the perspective is a natural purpose of informing, as illuminating what is hidden is the natural purpose of a flashlight Message The "perspective" means making a subject or an issue transparent, depicting its correct shape and proportions, allowing nothing that is essential to remain obscure or hidden and making the function, size and relative importance of each of its constituent elements obvious. 3. Comparing abstract concepts 2. Ideographic concept definitions Figure 3. Factual truth and perspective Explanation 2.1. Explanation Figure 2. Perspective ideogram. In the Perspective ideogram (see Figure 2) light is used as a metaphor for information. When the light of information is carefully pointed and shined upon some whole (represented by the Yin-Yang symbol) then whatever was hidden or obscure becomes visible and transparent. The whole appears before our eyes in correct shape and proportions. The ideogram in Figure 3 further explains the meaning of the perspective by comparing it to another concept which has a similar function. The perspective is represented by the circle. The point represents an isolated fact and the corresponding orientation in informing. The symbol that connects them signifies distinction or contrast. It is suggested that while perspective and factual truth both serve as criteria for evaluating information, they are in many respects different or complementary to one another Usage Contrast can be naturally expressed by ideograms. The ideogram in this example expresses a contrasting relationships between two abstract concepts. The relationship between the perspective and the factual truth - two epistemological orientations - is contrasted by depicting the one as a circle and the other one as a point. The difference between the perspective 2

3 as a wholistic notion of truth and the reduced and disembodied factual truth is visually suggested by the contrast between the corresponding geometrical figures Message As the orientation shared by both science and media informing, factual truth is the dominant criterion used in informing. In polyscopic modeling, the perspective is one of the four criteria which together refine, complement and replace factual truth as the exclusive criterion. The Factual Truth and Perspective ideogram depicts the differences between perspective and factual truth. Factual truth is the truth reduced to a point i.e. to a fact which must be either true or false. Perspective, on the other hand, is the wholistic notion of truth which requires representing the correct outlook of the whole. Factual truth allows us to isolate a detail from the whole. The perspective requires that we see the whole in correct shape and proportions and that we understand each detail in terms of the whole it belongs to. Factual truth demands precision. Perspective allows us to round off, generalize and approximate when that serves clarity and insight. When we judge according to factual truth, every piece of information seems useful. According to the perspective criterion, massive factual information may even be considered harmful, if its volume obscures the perspective. Factual truth and perspective as criteria give rise to two very different, complementary approaches to informing. Factual informing requires that we remain in the light of existing reliedupon specializations and methods and deal with only those issues that can be understood with relative or supposed certainty. The perspective as criterion encourages us to use all available means in order to penetrate through what is hidden and obscure as well as we can. Factual truth as criterion naturally leads to separation of art and science. When science is guided by factual truth alone it tends to extract the part from the whole and study it in isolation in order to produce a fact. Art, having no purpose in so conceived informing, turns to producing "fiction" and completely separates from science and from informing. When, on the other hand, the perspective criterion is used, then the demand to express the true image of the whole makes art indispensable. Factual truth leads to specialization. Oriented towards factual truth, the sciences tend to specialize and produce factual knowledge in restricted areas. Perspective leads to unification. It demands that we put the facts together and produce integrated, wholistic knowledge. 4. Ideographic proofs 4.1. Explanation Figure 4. Perspective lost. The Perspective Lost ideogram (see Figure 4) is a distorted human figure whose organs (eyes, nose, ears etc.) represent facts and whose over-all shape represents the perspective. By making some pieces larger and others smaller and by shifting their relative positions, one can distort the human figure as much as desired turn a beauty into a monster or vice versa. By leaving out some details it is possible to do even more change a human figure into something which does not even remotely resemble a human. It is suggested that the perspective can be arbitrarily distorted without violating the factual truth. Factual truth does not at all guarantee that we will be told what something is really like. The perspective, a complementary and independent criterion, must also be used Usage Ideograms can be helpful in proving a point or justifying a statement. In the present example the need for the perspective criterion is justified by an ideogram. The added touch of humor is appropriate: The incongruity of a seemingly sound practice (exclusive use of factual truth) is made obvious by depicting it in terms of an incongruous image Message Even when all the facts (nose, eyes, ears etc.) are in place, something essential may still be missing: The whole thing (its outlook, condition and meaning). Furthermore, factual truth does not subsume a complete knowledge of facts. Without violating the factual truth the outlook of the whole the perspective may be distorted to an arbitrarily large degree. We rely upon factual truth as criterion because of the impression of rigor, precision and certainty it affords. But without the perspective to give them the correct meaning and shape, 3

4 facts can be arbitrarily deceptive. Based on factual truth alone, our ideas of anything, even of ourselves, may be as disfigured as the creature in the ideogram. 5. Correcting the perspective Figure 5. Perspective of well-being. interior are more important than the obvious and immediate effect felt by the tongue. Metaphorically, however, the ideogram reflects upon a much larger issue than nutrition our cultural orientation. Guided by the naive criteria (such as whether something feels attractive) we tend to ignore the hidden and long-term effects of our choices. Naive choice is not only natural; it is also promoted by advertising. But as even a well-tasting meal can be poisonous, so can seemingly pleasant things in general have a variety of unwanted consequences. By bringing the importance of the hidden aspect to our attention, the ideogram helps us correct the naive perspective. Our sensory perception has been tuned by evolution to serve us under natural conditions. The more civilized our living conditions are, the less we can rely on sensory guidance. It is now possible to produce "junk food" which satisfies the taste but fails to provide the nutrition. It does not seem too far fetched to generalize and talk also about the possibility of junk entertainment, junk information etc. Obviously, our sensory perception can be deceived by technological means. We now depend on explicit information to orient our choices. 6. Depicting a gestalt 5.1. Explanation The ideogram in Figure 5 is a contour of a human whose tongue and stomach are depicted respectively as yin and yang or the visible and the hidden. The yin and the yang in the ideogram are conspicuously out of balance: The tongue is a lot smaller than the stomach. It is suggested that although wellbeing (understood loosely as pleasure, happiness or whatever else the reader may attribute to the term) appears to be a result of direct sensory stimulation (represented by the tongue), it is in fact far more dependent on nourishment and cultivation (represented by the stomach) Usage As visual images, ideograms can easily express what verbal facts cannot the outlook of the whole. This example shows how an ideogram can be used for correcting a distorted perspective. The perspective shown by the ideogram is naturally distorted by a limitation of our senses: We feel the taste of food and we tend to judge the foods accordingly. But such "naive" judgment de-emphasizes nutrition, which is the true purpose of eating Message The direct message of the ideogram is about physical nourishment. The ideogram suggests that the subtle but lasting effects of food that materialize gradually in the darkness of our Figure 6. Information design challenge Explanation The Information Design Challenge ideogram (see Figure 6) depicts the modern culture as a bus and its informing as the headlights of the bus which are traditional candles. The ideogram evokes a number of rather obvious associations: Our present informing is suited to preindustrial information technology and preindustrial role of information. Information now has a new role: Steering the technology. That new role requires a very different perspective from the one which is provided by the existing narrowly focused informing. A technologically advanced culture with traditional informing is dysfunctional and 4

5 dangerous. But the situation can be remedied by designing an informing methodology which suit the culture Usage The main message of the Information Design Challenge ideogram is an "appropriate gestalt". An appropriate gestalt is a way of perceiving a situation which is appropriate to the situation. An appropriate gestalt points to appropriate action. In the present case, the suggested action is to develop an informing which suits the needs of the culture. In the modern world, the gestalt information is essential: The dangers which our preindustrial ancestors needed to respond to were usually obvious; the appropriate responses were either instinctive or learned. But now our typical dangers and opportunities are new and invisible, hidden in the complex structure of the global economy and culture. We are facing the challenge of designing an informing which can make those dangers and opportunities seem as real to us as wolves and forest fires were to our ancestors, and which can make the right course of action equally obvious. Ideograms with metaphorical images are a natural means to that end Message Our culture has changed radically, but our approach to informing has remained in essence the same as it was before the Industrial Revolution. To our traditional ancestors, the norms and customs of the tradition provided the recipies for handling most situations. But the traditional recipes no longer work in the modern world. Informing now has a new role steering the technologically advanced culture by orienting our choices. Traditional informing did not need to fulfill that role. It is therefore not suited to that role. 7. Imaging a methodology Figure 7. Polyscopic information Explanation The ideogram in Figure 7 symbolizes polyscopic information. The triangle in the ideogram represents a hierarchy of viewpoints or "scopes". In order to understand the idea of a hierarchy of scopes it is useful to imagine that the triangle is a mountain and that its points are viewpoints. From the top of the mountain one sees the broad features of the terrain (a village, a forest, a lake) but not the details. From the foot of the mountain one sees the details (people, houses, trees) but not the whole terrain. Likewise, in polyscopic modeling the broad and general "high-level views" are distinguished from the precise and detailed "low-level views". The circle represents the wholistic and rounded off highlevel views and also art as the producer of such views. The square represents the analytic and precise low-level views and science as their producer. The circle and the square together compose an "i", the initial of "information". The square is the foundation of the circle. The ideogram suggests that polyscopic modeling produces information which consists of wholistic high-level views that are founded in analytic lowlevel ones Usage The ideogram represents the polyscopic modeling methodology in a nutshell. By contemplating the ideogram with the help of the accompanying text some of the main characteristics of the polyscopic modeling approach to information design can be grasped Message Polyscopic information information given in terms of multiple simple, coherent views is the natural way to provide both the perspective and the facts, both a clear and simple view of the whole and the voluminous details. The information "i" suggests that combining the expressiveness of art with the rigor of science is the way to produce polyscopically structured information. It is also suggested how art and science are combined: Art expresses the high-level views, science justifies them. Art gives information a perspective, science gives it credibility and precision. Art (the circle) and science (the square) are not considered as separate kinds of activities, but as inseparable sides or aspects of all informing (the "i"). The described combination of art and science is necessary if we should produce information which is both expressive and reliable, which both shows us what is hidden to our senses and gives us confidence in such enlarged vision. Such information and only such information can be so highly credible that it can even be used for correcting direct sensory perception. We need such information in order to develop informed choice as a cultural alternative to naive choice. 5

6 8. Imaging patterns 8.1. Explanation Figure 8. Goethe s pattern. The darkness and the light in the Goethe s Pattern ideogram (see Figure 8) represent two "contraries" (complementary things or qualities). The ideogram represents a particular pattern of evolution where the contraries first "differentiate" and then "sublimate". The detailed explanation of this ideogram is given in [4]. Here we provide only a cryptic interpretation where the contraries are reason and perception, or science and art, their cultural counterparts. The natural function of reason and perception is to complement and correct one another and in that way guide us to truth (represented by the yin-yang symbol in the ideogram). But reason and perception can fulfill that role only if they are well developed and autonomous. In the original, naive state, reason and perception are mixed together. They first need to differentiate. When differentiation is complete, reason and perception are independent of each other. Differentiated science stands wholly on rational grounds; differentiated art is pure, independent of reason or utility. It might then seem that the evolution has been completed. What has been completed, however, is only a preliminary phase, in which reason and perception (or science and art) have been prepared to assume their natural roles in the evolution of culture. A whole new course of development "sublimation" is about to begin during which reason and perception (or science and art) draw closer to one another by fulfilling their natural roles Usage In polyscopic modeling the word "pattern" is a technical term which denotes an abstract relationship. Patterns can be understood by considering a familiar special case: mathematical functions. As the mathematical function y = ax 2 is a specific relationship between generic variables x and y,soisevery pattern a specific kind of relationship between some generic entities. But unlike mathematical functions, patterns can be relationships of any kind, even emotional. Mathematical formulas serve for naming and representing mathematical functions; ideograms naturally serve for representing patterns. Our present example is the ideogram of Goethe s pattern. A typical result in physics is a statement that some given physical entities are related in the way that is specified by a given mathematical formula. In the statement of polyscopic modeling results ideograms assume the role of mathematical formulas. In the present case, the result is that art and science evolve according to the Goethe s pattern. This result is a qualitative law of change which allows us to explain and anticipate the behavior of the considered entities. Patterns, and ideograms that represent them, are also used for defining concepts. In this example the concepts "differentiation" and "sublimation" are defined Message The result that science and art evolve according to Goethe s pattern is carefully justified in [4]. It is shown that we are now close to completing the differentiation phase and about to begin the sublimation phase which will naturally bring science and art closer together. Sublimation may elevate both science and art to new heights. As an approach to informing, combined art and science may be able to give our culture the faculty of vision. Conclusion The traditional view according to which information is a collection of verbal facts prevents us from taking proper advantage of visual techniques. That view reflects the limited role of explicit information in the preindustrial culture and the limitations of the preindustrial information technology. In the modern culture, information has a new and essential role to guide the development and use of technology. In order to fulfill its new role, informing needs a new orientation, which we have described by introducing the notions perspective and gestalt. Ideograms and visual techniques in general find their natural purpose in so oriented informing. References [1] D. Karabeg. Information design.
