The Matrix of the Matrix Model
Posted on February 9, 2010 by admin.
L. Michael Hall, Ph.D.
A few people who think mathematically have complained recently
to me that the Matrix model isn't a real matrix, a true matrix. What
they mean is that they do not see the axes of the Matrix and so
conclude that it does not have axes. Silly them. I hid the axes!
"You hid them?”
Yip, | hid them. | almost slipped up and revealed the axes in Frame
Games (1999) as | kept talking about going up (the meta-move,
the meta-state process) and setting frames for the inner game
and then coming down incorporating and embodying the frames
so that we can then go out with the outer game in action and
performance. | also almost slipped up with some of the diagrams
| created at that time —sketching out the vertical axes going up
into meaning and the horizontal axes going out into performance.
Opps. There | went and revealed the axes
"So why did you hide the axes? What was that all about? Did you
do that purposefully?”
Yes, | plead guilty. It was conscious, intentional, purposeful, and
mindful. | knew I was doing it and did it anyway hoping not to get
caught. Well, that’s only partially true, actually | was hoping to getcaught, to see who was sharp enough and clever enough to put
matrix, axis, up and out, vertical and horizontal, meaning and
performance, ete. together, And there actually were several. But,
of course, | swore them all to secrecy because if they spread the
secret of the Matrix construction and the inner core of Neuro-
Semantics, | would have to kill them (with kisses, of course!).
“So what are the axes of the Matrix model?”
The axes are the two key factors that define neuro-semantics—
meaning and performance.
| began identifying that explicitly about three years ago when |
first defined Neuro- in terms of performance and Semantics as
meaning and then two years ago, this was made even more
explicit in the Self-Actualization Quadrants (and axes)

But there's more!
“There's more? What more can there be? A matrix is comprised of
two conceptual axes that then provides the semantic space for a
concept, so how could there be more?”
Thanks! Glad you asked. You want to know what's more? Well,
let's now put the developmental stages that | garnished from
Developmental Psychology for the Matrix Model (2002) into the
axes to create three axes thereby moving from 2-dimensional
space to 3dimensional space. When we do that we have one of
those boxes that look like a Borg Spaceship (another reason I'vehesitated putting it in this format, especially after relentlessly
teasing Robert Dilts about his Borg-like “Jungle Gym’
construction which he uses for neuro-logical levels, the times
zones of past, present, and future and the three perceptual
positions)
“Okay, okay, so what's the result?”
Great. Here we go. The diagrams here were created by Adrian
Beardsley, a Neuro-Semantic/ NLP Trainer with Impact Solutions
International in Australia. In the first one you see the two axes of
meaning and performance from which | designed the Self-
Actualization Quadrants. There's a lot more to it than this, but
you'll have to wait for the book Unleashed (or get to the Ultimate
Self-Actualization Workshop).

There you have it! Now you can imaginely see the matrix of the
Matrix model, Personally, | prefer the more dynamic diagrams of
the Matrix. | just really don't care for this box-like structure over
the dynamic forms of the Matrix model which we have put into
the books and training manuals. But you now know the matrix of
the Matrix Model,
