Notes on the upgraded model to address people:

A person is not just a single entity, so when we address someone, which part do we really address? This is essential
in r0oT, where we want to engage people to enhance their own critical thinking and to purge manipulative memes
from themselves.

In order to approach this, we need an upgrade of the model of a person. No more just a single entity, a unified "me".

What we need is cleary an improvement of this model to visualize the
neck difficulties hidden in human communication and try to overcome them. The
head first thing to add is an external layer, or the rational layer.

rational space

Here we have improved something. We know that when we address

someone we usually talk to a more or less rational person. However,
something is going on inside because sooner than later, irrational
behavior appears and usually dominates over the rational one.
This model don't help us much yet. In r0oT, we know that all the
interesting memes are inside, yet people usually expose only the irrational
external layer. space

When we address someone by providing (sending) reasons and there, our reason warriors are identified as intrusers,
the remote host will fabric all type of reason antibodies, because it notices that our reasons are trying to enter into
the meme core. The battle is a rethorical one, in which the remote host feel attacked and what matters is to protect
its memes. This is what we usually experience when trying to change the opinion of someone. It is easy to end up
fighting and degrading the level of the conversation. Here, the word "reason" means rethorics, just that. Reasons can
be used to relate things, but provided a given set of axioms, reasons can proof anything you want.
It is clearly the meme core the set of axioms that produce the reasons of outside. The question is, why are memes
so well protected? The answer is: emotions. The emotional shell is made of emotions. We can upgrade the model
further.

reason Notice here how emotions are shielding the memes (the most deeply rooted
reason elements inside us). Both the emotions and memes are responsible to create

In order to open someone for an emotional communication,

we need to offer trust and also our emotional context. Then
his/her emotions will flow through the conversation and will
open a channel to the memes section.
