The Phase 3 Protocol: The Spatial Sketch

1. The Movement Command (In Parentheses) : Before you place your pen on the paper to draw, you must direct your subconscious mind where to look. Formulate a movement command targeting the specific space or element you want to explore.

• Format: You can sketch anywhere you want on the page, but the movement command must be written in parentheses immediately before you begin the sketch.
• Example: (Move in front of the target and describe)

2. The Sketching Process: Once the command is written, let your hand spontaneously trace the basic sketch of what you perceive. Remember, you do not need to have a perfect, clear image of what the target looks like. Keep the drawing raw and structural.

3. Left-Side Labeling and Description: As you sketch, you will instantly pick up labels and characteristics of the shapes.

• Write all labeling and structural descriptions on the left side of the page.
• Write exactly one description per line to maintain clear paper discipline.

Keep repeating this cycle of commands, sketching, and left-side tracking until you intuitively feel it is time to move forward.

Transitioning to Phase 4: Determining the Purpose

Before you are cleared to close out Phase 3 and advance cleanly into Phase 4, you must decode the ultimate objective of the site.

1. On the left side of the paper, write the word "Purpose:"
2. Directly next to or underneath it, write down your subconscious impression of what the target site is actually used for (its function, utility, or reason for existing).

Once this final baseline data is logged, you have completed the structural foundation and are ready to advance to Phase 4.
