After giving it a little more 'staring' time, the drawing makes more sense -- but it's still not that clear in terms of teaching something.
I'm glad it's made more sense...

I'm not Gordon, but near the end of his post, I'll just point out that Gordon wrote...

"I advise you to copy the PoP in your own handwriting and create your own TOOL based upon your knowledge and where you want to go."

You'll notice this is Gordon's advice with his earlier pictogrigms too (that I linked to earlier)... To copy them out yourself.

The reason why is that these are not "passive" lessons... They are "active". They can only be "active" if you copy it out... ("Staring" is much more passive than copying it out as Gordon suggested...)

This approach is quite different from almost everything else out there, I think that's the source of the confusion...

You can choose yourself whether to copy it out, but that was the suggestion he made. If you don't copy it out, you probably will receive a reduced benefit.

Hope that helps,

Dien
