Practice Generalization Stage - Revisited

In the context of practice, I thought of generalization as a form (step, procedure, process, ways, means, pattern, structure, or reason) operated subjectively and objectively to produce certain outcome on a certain situation to support a conclusion (end), the premise. Subjective arises because it is invested by our meaning. Objective arises because it is tested against a certain setting and situation through our action, the tasks and/or activities. Just like any practice, the form can be improved, yet finding, transferring and/or adopting this form in other setting and situation would be useful NOT anymore. By reason of, it would become worthless because it will lost its value to produce the same results.

Moreover, generalization is not a sense of something applying to all because it only supports, serves, and/or affects certain conclusion based on certain setting and situation. Yet, it can offer two or more different form (extended and/or intermediate) to arrive at the same results - the construct is an ideal solution in solving complicated, complex, and chaotic problems.

Furthermore, generalization is more of knowledge (tacit) that we carry in our minds. It is transferred to others only when we made contact; articulate, code, and/or store it in certain media; and allow it to flow by sharing it with others - a crucial input - for mutual education and order.
