Thought Symbol

This is a presentation on the thought symbol. I define the terms of thought and symbols for the context of this content. Then, I give a brief history of how the thought symbol was originated and a detailed description of how it's drawn. I also display my subjective interpretations of the thought symbol followed by a prospective application. Lastly I explain how I am using the thought symbol.

UPDATE:
a) the ankh is egyptian not celtic
b) in theoretical physics, observables do have their own symbols (within bra-ket notation)
c) lambda is wavelength, not frequency

Really?REALLY? This is comedy right? What an absurd pile of self indulgent rubbish. Aligon42 is right.Pseudo-philosophical garbage.

[jasonhoblin]

@newcoyote, if you think so...

Absolutely useless pseudo-philosophical garbage. There is no need for a "thought symbol" in "physical expressions". You simply drew a collection of lines and assigned them personal meaning. Why spend so much time and thought on something so memetically meaningless?

[jasonhoblin]

memetically, nice!

does a computer need RAM or processor cache? and should we not quantify that state?

Not to be a negative Nellie but... the only problem: it is copyrighted. If it will truly be used as "the" thought symbol then it must have free use, public domain. Otherwise it might as well be the logo for coca-cola for it can only be used by you. I do like the logo even though I can't use it.

[jasonhoblin]

you can use it, just not in commerce. youre permitted to use term "coca-cola" but not sell or profit from that term. i trademarked the thought symbol so it would NOT be restricted by any overt commercial interests; I trademarked it so it would be protected and hopefully fulfill its intended purpose as "the" thought symbol.

please, feel free to use it!

[dutchburnin]

thank you! this just helped me out so much. I was contemplating how to symbolize thought in my mandala without attempting to draw a brain.

While I agree that an ultimate symbol for "thought" is a fine idea, your design is crude, imperfect and aesthetically unappealing. Can you really look at THAT symbol and honestly tell me, with unshakable certainty, that it fully embodies the sheer complexity and wonder of the most astonishing degrees of cognition?

Symbols are born from the combined intellectual efforts of the hundreds of thousands of generations of thinkers that preceded us. No Lone scribbler gets to symbolize thought FOR us.

yes a computer does need RAM and processor cache... what's your point?

[Aligon42]

Why not use the bit or the byte in conjunction with all those convenient S.I. suffixes?
