2 soliloquy to self fulfilling

Soliloquy, meaning one is speaking his thoughts aloud when by himself or regardless of any hearers, is a type of intrapersonal communication that enlarges one's beliefs. In the system of dragon glove, one will input a certain phrase, a propose, a song, or even just a breath into spectrum data, which will transferred into the physical quality of the glove. This will serve as a constantly reminder of that certain information one want to talk to himself. Robert Merton raised "self-fulfilling prophecy” in 1948, defining it as: “A false definition of the situation evoking a new behavior which makes the originally false conception come true”. The dragon glove system, built upon that, served as a medium to enhance the self fulfilling cycle.
