Exercises(1) Reflect a moment on any recent event or problem you experienced - such as a message you received, activity you engaged in, etc. - which had an impact on you.(2) Note what the impact was in simple words - such as, "I realized that...", or "It made me feel..." Call this the Upset (whether it is negative or positive). (3) Ask yourself: "Having had this experience (Upset), what do I find myself wanting to do, or wishing would happen?" Call this the Set-Down. (4) See how this Set-Down combines with other experience to prepare you for (a) the next such similar (reiterative) experience or (b) another related, but dissimilar (sequential) experience. Call this the Set-Up for a later experience. (5) Finally, note whether the Set-Down and Set-Up are Reasons, Purposes, or some combination of both.

More InfoSetUp - Upset - SetDownConsider that all feeling, thinking and doing consists of these three parts: The SetUp is the input stage, but includes whatever anticipating or filtering of input that previous experience ordains. The Upset is what happens (the event, thought, experience or behavior commonly focused upon) and includes processing of the input. The SetDown lays the ground for the next similar or related round. See definition of a Problem. Example: McWhirter says, "We are not 'blank slates' when we experience. The sum total of our previous experience and our resulting 'model of the world' sets us up for the experience. This 'Set-up' can be limiting and/or enhancing at different levels. "If an experience is not to our liking, or is not what we expected (even pleasantly), our expectation and orientation to some degree is 'Upset.' Examples of limiting upsets are traumas, phobias, shocks, etc. Examples of positive [enhancing] upsets would be surprise parties, winning the lottery, an unexpected complement, etc. "Experiences change our behavior by changing our model of the world. We may do this while we are experiencing, and any time afterwards. The changes can be considered to be what we 'Set-down' because of the experience. What we set-down in turn sets us up for the next experience and so on…"
Attending to the Set-Up - Upset - Set-Down pattern builds capability to make fine distinctions in input by being able to recognize new input more readily.

QuestionsQuestions asking "in" or "about"; also how do you feel about the thought, or think about the feeling; questions about feel-thinking (good/bad, happy, concern, feel X will happen) vs. feel-sensory (itch, temperature, pressure..); feel-doing (feeling your way along)
Questions like these may help to show transitions between Set-Up, Upset, and Set-Down steps.

ReticulateLooking for reticulation with other concepts. In this case, to relate to Self-management framework. What is graphical way to show how Set-Down functions to combine with Principals, Strategies, etc. to structure a Set-Up?

Sequences of Set-Up Upset Set-DownA "sequential" chain of Set-Up - Upset - Set-Down, instead of re-cycling on the same task, may branch to other levels of abstraction or related subjects.

Set-DownOutputOrient (listen, look...) Prepare for next round "Experiences change our behavior by changing our model of the world. We may do this while we are experiencing, and any time afterwards. The changes can be considered to be what we 'Set-down' because of the experience. What we set-down in turn sets us up for the next experience and so on…" This continuing process is self-organizing. It is influenced by structure already formed, and by "leading". Leading can be at any or all levels of Self-Management.
In-Time Set Downs are same/different with like events in the past. Through-Time Set-Downs are more integrated in the flow.

Set-UpInputSensory (see, hear..) Expectation, Anticipation The sum total of our previous experience and our resulting 'model of the world' sets us up for the experience. This 'Set-up' can be limiting and/or enhancing at different levels. Develops ability to make fine distinctions - to differentiate experience in useful way - make fine distinctions at input (set-up) and recognize New or Different in input more readily. Set-up can be influenced by intervention, or leading, or Self-Management.

Set-up - Upset - Set-down is the 3-step process underlying learning and experience. Is it reiterative, as shown above? Or , is it sequential, as shown below? |
UpsetNoticeReason, Relate (to it) Compare, Compute Actively thinking how this is different, useful? "If an experience is not to our liking, or is not what we expected (even pleasantly), our expectation and orientation to some degree is 'Upset.' Examples of limiting upsets are traumas, phobias, shocks, etc. Examples of positive [enhancing] upsets would be surprise parties, winning the lottery, an unexpected complement, etc." Upsets are In Time.
Has a beginning, middle and end - detail of what happened or what remembered or thought about. Thinking "in" promotes detail and sense of being real; thinking "about" promotes conceptualization - generalization, judgment... which would become the Set-Down.
