Chat GPT, explain oblique and orthogonal to a storyteller:
Imagine you're a storyteller crafting a tale, and you have two main characters: Oblique and Orthogonal.
Oblique Storytelling: In an oblique storytelling approach, the plotlines of the characters Oblique and Orthogonal may intersect at times, but they primarily follow their own distinct paths. Think of it like two characters in separate stories that occasionally cross paths or influence each other's journeys, but ultimately they have their own unique narratives. The focus is on each character's individual development and storyline.
Orthogonal Storytelling: On the other hand, in an orthogonal storytelling approach, the plotlines of Oblique and Orthogonal are completely independent and do not intersect or influence each other in any way. It's like two characters in entirely different stories that run parallel to each other without any interaction or connection. The focus is on maintaining the separation and distinctiveness of each character's narrative.
In essence, oblique storytelling allows for some overlap or interaction between storylines, while orthogonal storytelling keeps them completely separate and unaffected by each other.
Cross Loading in Oblique
Don't quote me this is my understanding of this as of the day I posted this. Cross-loading is when an item loads onto multiple factors. In the real world loneliness can load onto many factors; being sad and unhappy. Who is to say one thing only interacts with one thing? I mean I am stubborn. For the best, I hated cliches. For the worst, I cut people off so quickly. Maybe my stubbornness is a 'why' to many things. And Ari would say "go play a sport". Welp, I attempted to but got mad that I wasn't good at tennis. I am still a work in progress you see. But what about the people in our lives? Does how someone treats us have cross-loadings? You would think you take away this and they would do better. Nope. The acceptance is that no matter the factor, the beholder of the item might always cross-load. I am learning to accept this because I can't control this.
Orthogonal
The things we can control. Now these are when items don't load onto other factors. As I accept other people's choice to crossroad their emotions/actions, I understand that they don't influence me. I am who I am, regardless. Let me make that bigger.
I am who I am, regardless.
No matter their emotional cross-loadings, they do not have the power to affect what I have going on. Me. That person might have treated you badly but they can't hurt you anymore. In this space, we are a force to be reckoned with. No one can deny me, no one can touch me, no one has any influence over what I will and won't do or for da*mn sure … the beauty I got. And if you know me, I am stubborn, but if you tell me I can't. Well, I will and look cute doin it. Thanks. I’m proud of myself too Mom :)
