Самые крупные международные ассоциации НЛП собрались в 2016 году для решения различных вопросов. По итогам обсуждений была выпущена книга/сборник материалов "Powered by NLP". Она выложена в свободном доступе:

В числе прочих вопросов обсуждали, что есть (и что/чем не является) НЛП:

---

Another spontaneous and creative moment occurred in another group discussing "what is" and "what isn't" NLP.

---

[...]

---

How do we decide what is and is not “NLP”?

---

Интересная постановка вопроса и логика рассуждений — является ли джазовая музыка НЛП:

---

1.Model X uses the study of the structure of somebody’s

---

subjective experience in a specified manner, by changing a

---

specific element of that structure (criterion derived from Dilts’

---

definition).

---

2. It utilises a successful pattern that has been detected in the

---

world (derived from Grinders definition).

---

3. It was developed from an attitude that produces techniques

---

(from Bandlers definition).

---

4. It helps people attain what they want (from Jane’s definition).

---

Using these four criteria in addition to each other certainly narrows

---

it down. The number of phenomena that can be called NLP, now

---

becomes much smaller. But even this combination is nowhere near

---

water tight. Advertising is still a good candidate, according to this

---

set of criteria. Or we could take improvised jazz music for instance;

---

it fits all four criteria.

---

1. Improvised jazz music is based on the study of relationships

---

between auditory impressions on the one hand and subjective

---

kinaesthetic and visual experiences on the other hand. It aims to

---

change people’s subjective experiences by changing their

---

auditory external input.

---

2. It utilises successful patterns (melodies and musical

---

collaboration sequences) that can be detected in many places

---

and times in the world.

---

3. It is characterised by a specific attitude towards music, that has

---

produced many new instrumental and composition techniques.

---

4. It helps both the musicians and the audience to attain the

---

musical enjoyment that they want.

---

And yet, most people would agree that improvised jazz music is not

---

NLP.

---

В итоге доказывается необходимость создания обширного списка разнородных примерно категоризированных элементов и экспертного голосования:

---

Formulate a broad list of potential NLP elements

---

2. Formulate a set of NLP categories these elements can be placed

---

in.

---

3. Devise an on line registration system for voting on which

---

elements belong in which category.

---

4. Invite and stimulate Summit members to vote.

---

Which may sometimes entail explaining what a certain

---

proposed NLP element is.

---

5. Calculate the resulting ‘score’ for each element.

---

6. Publish the scores in a list called ‘The Elder Columns’.

---

7. Devise an on line system for both adding and evaluating - by

---

voting - new potential NLP elements.

---

Мы называем такие списки элементов "онтологиями".

---

Вопрос — какую альтернативу может предложить Метапрактик для решения этой насущной проблемы? (Её насущность задается рядом "внешних" причин, в обсуждение которых мы здесь углубляться не будем.)
