Becoming a Communication Expert with Cartesian Linguistics Part 1.
The term Quantum Linguistics, although sounding rather menacing simply is referring to the multidimensional aspect of our thought processes and how that multidimensionality is represented to the outside world through our language. Well, maybe I shouldn’t have used the term “simply” as this can be a rather complicated topic.
The concept of quantum linguistics has its roots in the therapeutic realm of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). Per the Oxford English Dictionary NLP is defined as “a model of interpersonal communication chiefly concerned with the relationship between successful patterns of behavior and the subjective experiences (esp. patterns of thought) underlying them” and “a system of alternative therapy based on this which seeks to educate people in self-awareness and effective communication, and to change their patterns of mental and emotional behavior”.
The therapeutic side is fodder for another day. As a Communication Expert however, the communication component that we will refer to often on my site is without a doubt the most thorough and effect formalized systematic classification of interpersonal communication available today. And at the heart of NLP’s communication model sits “Quantum Linguistics”.
At the core of the concept of multidimensional language and Quantum Linguistics sits the hard reality that for something to “exist” or be present, everything that surrounds “it” must be “NOT-it”. OK, I know that is a mouthful so let me give you an example… and bear with me as you’ll see the usefulness of this shortly…

So HOW do you find the boundary conditions that accurately define these issues? That is the $1,000,000 question and we are going to cover the specifics of this in the proceeding post. Tomorrow as we dig into the actual MATHEMATICS of Cartesian Logic you will see how as a linguistic questioning model, this takes care of boundary definition quite nicely. Stay tuned…

Interesting blog post. What would you say was the most common problem?
Hi Isobel,
Thanks for the question, however, I need more information if I am to answer it effectively. Common problem that I encounter with a client? Common problem I encounter in using the methods? Please give me a bit more information, I am delighted to help.
