As I’m developing my understanding about Wow-Fields, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that they form multi-dimensional phenomena/processes.
1 – To qualify as a Wow-Field, there must be something present, that I’m going to call a commonality. If something makes us say “Wow” only once and never again, you have what might be called a Wow-Point. Not a Wow-Field. A commonality simply means that one can find/experience something, be it a particular person, place, website, tool, artist, composer, etc. where the experience of amazement, which pushes you to exclaim “Wow!” in a positive way, happens over and over again.
2 – A single individual can experience idiosyncratic Wow-Fields, meaning that they wow him or her, and no one else, or few others.
3 – Social Wow-Fields will thus emerge where people in a particular group generally experience the same events in and features of a commonality with a positive “Wow!”
An example of a social Wow-Field for people around the world might be grand fireworks displays on New Years Eve. When you hear people around you – and you too – saying “Oooh!” or “Ahhhh!,” these exclamations are equivalents of “Wow!”
