This chapter presents future directions for a schema re-schematized—integrated with the thinker's cognitive dynamics. Selz's anticipatory schema features a symbolic and unknown factor, providing for discovery logic and pre-logical search for key variables. The schema opens to a search for knowledge—not dependent on input and outcome locked into information and established sequences. The thinker's imagination constructs the anticipatory schema. The unknown becomes a factor in a picture of the knowledge and information sought. With the insertion of the thinker as an agent seeking knowledge, the re-schematized schema can be diagrammed in new exciting ways. To make the schematic projections, the thinker uses analogy. Its "pre-logical" relations open the schema to productive thinking. Analogy generates new combinations. Formerly excluded particulars enter the formation of concepts and new categories.
