Broadcasting

Roles: transmitter, receiver, signal, frequency, volume, static, channel, broadcast, tuning

The transmission and reception of signals through a medium. As a source domain, broadcasting foregrounds the distinction between the signal and the receiver’s relationship to it: you can adjust volume, change the channel, or tune out without destroying the transmitter. The receiver has limited control over what is broadcast but full control over how much attention they give it. This makes broadcasting structurally productive for modeling involuntary mental processes — the mind generates content the person did not request, and the therapeutic question becomes what to do with the signal, not how to stop the transmitter.
