1 We presented a more detailed description of the three phases at the Clean Conference, 22 June 2008. An audio recording of that presentation is available at:

2 ‘Recognition’ is the term used by Philip Harland in his forthcoming book, The Joy of Six.
3 An interesting pattern emerges if we consider the typical number of dimensions used in the basic processes:
Powers of Six in the Recognition domain makes use of:
0 dimensions of mind space Answering the same questions from one place.
1 dimension of physical space Moving from space A to write on the paper at B.
Clean Space in the Network domain makes use of:
2 dimensions of physical space Moving around in the horizontal plane.
3 dimensions of physical/mind space Moving in the horizontal and vertical planes either physically and/or in mind space.
Clean Language in the Metaphor domain makes use of:
3 dimensions of physical space Physical environment containing the metaphor.
4 dimensions of mind space Perceptual landscape including the sequence of events
It’s fascinating to note that in devising these processes David Grove moved from 4/3 dimensions in a Metaphor Landscape; to 3/2 dimensions in a Clean Space Network; to 1/0 dimensions in a Powers of Six Recognition.

10 “Set up” and “set down” are terms borrowed from John McWhirter’s The Three Sets Model: ‘Re-Modelling NLP Part Six: Understanding Change’, Rapport 48, Summer 2000. www.sensorysystems.co.uk/articles.htm
11 Stages 2, 3 and 4 can be mapped on to Ken Wilber’s 1-2-1 model of development. In other words: one, to many one’s, to one at a higher emergent level of organisation. Or put another way, the emergent whole transcends and includes its interacting parts.
Stages 2-5 can be mapped on to the four stages of the creative process: Data Collection (initiation); Incubation (induction); Illumination (insight); Verification (reintegration). In Symptom Path to Enlightenment (1996) Ernest Rossi maintains that it takes 90-120 minutes for a person to go through these four stages (see Chapter 6).

13 I have shown just one switch in these examples. It is possible for another domain/language model switch to follow the first, providing the client’s information justifies it.
14 In Symbolic Modelling, there are two further levels above the level of the Five-Stages: ‘Client desired outcome for the session’ and then ‘Client desired outcome for after the session’ (i.e. what they actually want to have happen):
Levels Operating in Symbolic Modelling
| | LEVEL | APPROXIMATE DURATION | | ^ | Client’s long-term desired outcome | 2 hours - a lifetime | | | | Client’s session desired outcome
| 60-90 minutes | | | | Stages | 5-60 minutes | | | | Vector
| 3-10 minutes | | | | Individual question | 1 minute |
15 In many ways, chapter 8 in Metaphors in Mind, Stage 4: Encouraging Conditions for Transformation, was our early attempt to use vectors and a variety of approaches once a metaphor landscape had been established.
