To enhance understanding of TOP, I found the following examples from AMY very useful: 
in "Which Way Out", page 120, figures 17 and 18. 

The first example deals with buying and selling stocks. 
See explanatory text pp. 118-120. I used this example, together with fig. 19, p. 121,  to develop a better understanding of the seven stages. 

Fig. 18 deals with communication and shows the process 
of registration of sounds (second stage), 
application of rules/alphabet (stage 3), extracting words (stage 4), 
establishment of meaning and sentences (stage 5), 
attribution of value, emotion (stage 6), 
while thought in A is designated as the first stage and thought in the receiver B as seventh stage. 

One can see that the second stage deals with "raw material" to be processed in subsequent stages leading to emotion in stage 6. This can motivate the receiver B to react to the input from A,  which means that a dialogue can ensue, forming a circuit, so to speak, along which flows "charge",  emotion expressed through language (verbal and non-verbal!), and meaning.
