Tag resonance (not meaning)

In FragmentPractice, tags are not labels.
They are textures, tones, semantic echoes.

This practice invites you to choose tags not by analytical meaning —
but by how they resonate, like a chord or a scent in language.

Why this matters

Choosing tags by resonance develops symbolic sensitivity.
It opens space for ambiguity, subtlety, and emotion — beyond taxonomy.

Tags chosen this way:

• Reflect your internal weather
• Become part of your syntax map
• Accumulate as signals of feeling, not function

How to do it

1. After writing a Fragment, pause.
2. Read it softly — what does it feel like?
3. Browse or imagine tags that match the tone, not the topic
4. Choose one or two — let them echo, not define
5. Optional: Add a new tag that doesn’t exist, but resonates deeply

Example use

Fragment: “The window blinked with rainlight.”
Tag: #soft.distance

Fragment: “She didn’t reply, and the silence held me.”
Tag: #unsaid.trace

Fragment: “Typing to no one, but feeling heard.”
Tag: #semantic.echo

Tips

• Let go of correctness — resonance is not accuracy
• Invent your own tags if needed — #fog.syntax, #thread.of.stillness
• Revisit tags after a week — do they still resonate?

Optional Extensions

• Create a personal tag palette (5–7 tags you return to)
• Ask the Bot: “What tag would mirror this feeling?”
• Start a ZINE of tags themselves — a typographic poem of resonance

“Meaning fades. Resonance stays.”
Tags, when echoed, become syntax.
