Hi Dan, the process is really about taking the mental dynamic, which is half tacit and half explicit, and making it entirely explicit. I'm trying to think of an analogy, where a random process is made less random by making the hidden aspect unhidden.

For example, heat. When we wake up in the morning, the weather is a random factor. It might be warm, it might be cold. So we turn on the heat to warm up the room. We've made the tacit element explicit. Same with the thinking process. The subconscious mind is involved in the creation of knowledge via the interface of the conscious mind. Instead of leaving it to randomness, we superimpose a methodology by saying, 'what is the tacit element of the issue'. It's a mental exercise really. But what it allows us to do is 'simulate' the mental dynamic of tacit/explicit taking place within us.
