Aim is to increase the open area
Feedback develops the open area by reducing the blind area.
The open area can also be developed through the process of disclosure, which reduces the hidden area.
The unknown area can be reduced in different ways: by others' observation (which increases the blind area); by self-discovery (which increases the hidden area), or by mutual enlightenment - typically via group experiences and discussion - which increases the open area as the unknown area reduces.
