What does Heisig mean by this? - Miyumera - 2010-12-28
Hi.. does anyone know what heisig means by this: 'use the *genie* out in the open when the primitive appears ...' .. It's frame 681 for the 5th Edition for the keyword Genius. Is he referring to the image of a genie OUTSIDE a bottle??? vs inside?.. or does he mean... to write it in the open?

I think he refers to the image of a genie outside of a bottle as opposed to inside, given that the primitive introduced in frame 684 is named 'genie in the bottle'.

Hope that helps
