The following except from Patterns�� will further assist the reader in understanding the 4-tuple:
"Assuming that you are a reader who at this point in time is sitting comfortably in a quiet place and that you are reading alone, the 4-tuple can beused to represent your present experience of the world as follows:
theprinted words of the book,
the lighting pattern of the room...
the feeling of the chair,
the temperature of the room...
∅
the smell of the room,
the freshness of the air... i
The specific 4-tuple which represents the reader's experience where i is thereferntial index of the reader and the blankspace ∅indicates no experience in that mode.
"In words, the reader's present experience of the world is represented by a description of the visual input from the words, his present kinesthetic sensations and the olfactory sensation available. Since, by our assumption, thereader is in a place where he is presently receiving no auditory input from theexternal world, the value of the variable A, (the auditory tonal portion of hisexperience) is O. The values of the V, K and O variables are specified by adescription of the input from the world that is impinging on the reader at this point in time. Notice that in specifying the 4-tuple for the reader's present experience, we restricted ourselves to representing experience originating inthe world external to the reader. The 4-tuple can also be used to represent the reader's total experience−that is, his present ongoing experience independently of whether it originates in the world external to the reader or not. We have found it useful in our work to identify the origin of the portion of the experience described in the 4-tuple-that is to distinguish between which portion of the experience represented by the 4-tuple originates in the world external to the person whose experience is represented by the 4-tuple and which portion is generated by the person's own internal processes. One easy way of representing this distinction is by simply attaching a superscript to each component of the 4-tuple-either an i (internally generated) or an e (externally generated). Thus assuming that the reader is reading with internal dialogue at this point in time and using the superscripts which distinguish the internally generated from externally originated components of the 4-tuple, the reader's4-tuple would look like:
the printedwords(e), of the book,
the lighting pattern in the room...
the feeling of(e), the chair,
the temperature of the room...
the tempo and tonal(i), qualities ot the auditory internal dialogue...
the smell of(e), the room,
the freshness of the air...
"As with all the distinctions in the model, this superscript distinction between internally and externally generated experience will be employed onlywhen it is useful for the task for which it is to be used."
次のパターン��の抜粋は、読者が４タップルをさらに理解することを助けてくれるでしょう。
あなたがこの時点で静かな場所に心地よく座って一人で読んでいる読者であると仮定すると、４タップルはあなたの現在のこの世界の経験を次のように表現することに使えます。
この本の印刷された文字、
この部屋の照明のパターン…
この椅子の感触、
この部屋の温度…
∅（空集合）
この部屋のにおい、
空気の新鮮さ… i
読者の体験を表現している特定の４タップルは、iが読者の指示指標（referential index）であり、空白∅はそのモードについての体験がないことを示しています。
印刷された本の文字(e)、
この部屋の照明のパターン…
この椅子の感触(e)
この部屋の温度…
聴覚の内的対話のテンポと質(i)…
この部屋のにおい(e)、
空気の新鮮さ…
このモデルの全ての区別と同様に、体験が内部由来か外部由来かについてのこの上付き文字の区別は、これが使用されるタスクに役立つときにのみ採用されます。
