In an age of information overload, what's lacking isn't information, but rather coordinate axes -- The structure of thought in an age of “unsettled ideas,” called coordinate emergence.

Even though I should have more information than ever before, it's precisely because of that that I can't get my thoughts together. The more knowledge I gain, the more disorganized my mind becomes. The feeling of being swayed by the excessive information that pours in every day never goes away.

Many people talk about the true nature of this feeling that modern people have as a problem of information volume. However, in the sense of instinctWhat's lacking isn't information, but the "coordinate system" to place that information.

The reason you can't organize your thoughts isn't a lack of information, but a lack of a core perspective.

No matter how much knowledge you accumulate, without a framework to measure it, it will only become a scattered collection of points.

The phrase "right or wrong, I don't know" perfectly describes this. It refers to a state where the coordinate system for determining direction is not established within oneself.

The root cause of modern information overload is not having too much information. The coordinate axes for placing information are not being selected.This is the point. Therefore, the more you try to incorporate, the more confusion amplifies. With just one axis, the same amount of information suddenly starts to look neatly organized.

When you can't get your thoughts together, what you need isn't more information, but your own axis to organize that information.

New coordinate axes emerge from within the contradictions.

And here's where it gets important.

If you only view the world through existing coordinate axes, you will inevitably encounter contradictions that seem equally true. Freedom or order? Efficiency or randomness? Universality or individuality? Most people stop thinking there. And they choose one or the other.

However, rather than reducing that contradiction to a binary choice,The moment I continued to internalize itThen, a third axis, which did not exist until then, rises from the inside.

This I call "Coordinate emergenceis called.

The coordinate axes are not chosen from existing options. They emerge from within oneself one day, as a result of continuing to hold contradictions. Beyond "not being able to organize one's thoughts" lies the dimensional movement of increasing one's coordinate axes.

Only those with coordinates can see the unseen.

The coordinate axes define the very resolution of the world.

Without a frame of reference, no matter how much you observe the same phenomenon, you can't grasp anything. With a frame of reference, something invisible to anyone else can instantly emerge from the same phenomenon.

Thinker, manager, artist—though their titles may differ, what they fundamentally do is one and the same. I'm establishing coordinates within myself that don't yet exist in this world.

The motto of Shiza Plus, "Giving coordinates to the invisible," precisely refers to this practice. The apparatus for seeing the invisible is not about information gathering, but about the emergence of a coordinate system.

The people who change the world are not the ones who come up with the answers. This person establishes the axis for measuring the answer.

In this age of information overload, the necessary thinking infrastructure is neither the sheer volume of information nor skills. I believe it is the singular movement of embracing contradictions and creating new axes from them.
