7 Levels and Forms of a Product
♦️ The Physical Form. UI as the overall image that the user perceives and interacts with. Buttons, links, frames. The most dense and coarse manifestation.
♦️ The Energetic Form is the backend, the architecture, the code—unseen by the user's perception, yet without it, the physical form would be but static, lifeless markup.
♦️ The Informational Form of texts and images (icons possess a dual nature). Ideas penetrate consciousness through the eyes and thus take residence within the mind.
>> The boundary where boundaries begin to blur (and here is where product makers often err) <
♦️ The Mental Form is subtler than the informational. It is Thought and Idea as such. Thoughts and Ideas are clothed in the forms of words and images. Words and images are read by the eyes. The Stream of Consciousness perceives the Thought. This is a step-by-step Process.
🔸 The Causal Level. And within it lie the causes of all causes. The Cause is That-Deep-Pattern which shapes all. The Cause is Pain. Patterns are a constellation of decisions.
🔸 The Unified Level. The Universe(?), cognizing itself(?) through the dialogue of one(?) two(?) all of its "parts"(?).
🔹 The Source. This is the Absolute.
— Products are launched upward from the Absolute.
