A REVIEW OF IDEAS, NECESSARY FOR CONTINUED READING OF THIS SECTION III, OF THE WEBPAGE YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING.

THIS REVIEW, DUPLICATES Essential Introductory Parts Of => Henry S Gurr’s Proto Theory Of “How Our Mind Works”.

CONCLUSION1: Based On Careful Observation => It Is Useful And Revealing To Consider The Hypothesis, That EVERYTHING Our Brain Does, Is AUTOMATIC, SPONTANEOUS PROBLEM SOLVING,

CONCLUSION2: Although We Absolutely Do Not Know Just How Nature Does This => In Response To Life’s Problems Coming At Us => Finding Single Best Solutions (Or Near Best), Is Practically The Only Theoretical & Practical Way, To Guide All Of Our Senses In Perception, To Decode “What Is Out There”, And From This => Make Practical Future Plans, And Achieve Future Actions. (In other words: To Form Future Plans (ie Intentions) and act on them.) .

CONCLUSION3: Although We Absolutely Do Not Know Just How Nature Does This => These Single Best Solutions, Are Found By UN-Conscious Brain Processes, and Come Into Our Consciousness, As Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals (similar to Flash of Insight). Such Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals, Most Usefully May Be Considered As UN-Conscious Brain Processes Generating Constructing Creating Solutions (Answers) to Life’s Oncoming Problems:
… As is observed in ourselves and others, these Single (only one at a time), Solutions, appear as => Answers, thinking, ideas, future plans, body actions, etc. ), and are generated constructed created. on the basis of Partial Fit Best or Near Best, (or Optimum Coherence, or Optimal Partial Fit), to what is “our there” or “available”, such as in our surrounding environment. And these “solutions” are accompanied with feelings & emotions, as well as what actions (future plans), should be optimally completed. or needed for life’s on coming problems.
… As Is Directly Observed => Our Problem Solving Brain, In Respond To Life’s Oncoming Problems, Automatically Spontaneously Generates, Constructs, Creates, Solutions (Answers) Which Have A Sense Of => Immediate, Clear, Whole, Understandable, MEANINGS, Which Then Immediately Mentally Arrive Into Our Consciousness, Along With Our Ongoing Experience Of Primary Consciousness.
… In Other Words Our Problem Solving Brain Makes Meaning, Sense of Truth, Beauty, Recognition, Apprehension, Insight, Knowing, Awareness. Appreciation, Comprehension, Seeing, Sense of Clear Understanding, and Importance. And All This With Felt Certainty
… AND Although It Is Unknown (Even Inexplicable), How Our Brain Does It => Be Sure To Notice Very Well =>
…Our Problem Solving Brain => In The Process Of Generating, Constructing, Creating, Forming, Assembling, Building, Making, Producing, These Optimal (Best or Near Best) Problem Solutions => These MEANINGS ARE ALSO THERE, Right-Before-Our-Mind’s-Eye.
…AND all this is apparently accomplished with similar methods, as it makes => Mental Arrivals generally and/or, Normal Perception, Vision, Hearing, Taste, Smell, Sense of Touch. With all these, Imagination and Feelings generally present.
… In addition, our brain (right along with those above), concurrently generates one the many-recognized Emotions, such as Happiness / Sadness, Fear, / Anger, Surprise / Disgust, which will be discussed more fully below. With “Feelings” also appropriately present.
… In other words, The Evolutionary Established Property Of Our Brain, as is Directly Observed, => Can MAKE Clarity, Understanding, Meaning (plus rest of the list above), right along with Perception, Primary Consciousness, and Our Body Motions.

Examples Of These Are =>

For The Convenience Of You The Reader, The Excerpt Below DUPLICATES Proposition 3a), from Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”. :

Proposition 2) Discussion: … The Fact That A Future Plans Are Based On Past Successful Behaviour, Will Also FORCE Good Logic And Math Completeness.
…This is because the solution (including future plans), was formed, in a large part, from previous innovative, Optimum (Best or Near Best), and long term successful actions as the result of some even earlier successful plan.
… And for these plans to have actually worked, indeed forces plans and physical completion of these plans, to be are coherent, unified, holistic, somewhat logical & mathematically complete and free of inconsistencies:
… All this, for the very reason that our surrounding world, is mathematically coherent that way! Thus, what is the best (or near best) behavior / action in a given situation can be based on what worked in the past, in that same or similar situation!
…In other words => PAST SUCCESS, Is Saved into Our Brain’s Memory, For The Very Purpose Of GUIDING FUTURE BEHAVIOUR!
…This of course is exactly what always is accomplished, UN-Supervised & Automatically by the 11 word idea => “Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory.”

Proposition 3a) For Each Of These, And Others Of “Life's Problems Coming At Us” In General, Our Brain Very Quickly, All At Once, Yields A Single, Near Optimum, Holistic, Over-All, Solution (I.E. Near Best Answers , Good results, quick reliable recognition of ”what is the problem situation at hand‘’(*metaph’’*) These Solutions / Answers, if of sufficient coherence, then Automatically, Spontaneously, Suddenly Mentally Arrive Into Our Conscious Mind. This is in agreement with U Cal Berkeley Philosopher Prof John R Searle “Unified Field of Consciousness” These Solutions Automatically, Spontaneously, Suddenly Mentally Arrive into our Conscious Mind, followed by appropriate feelings, emotions, & optimum body motion response, most of the time, be it

ALSO Please Notice the Word “Creative” => As Applied to => The Generation of Any Optimum Solution That Automatically, Spontaneously, Suddenly Mentally Arrives Into Consciousness

PROPOSITION 3b): HERE ARE SEVERAL EDUCATED GUESSES & HYPOTHESIS Re PROPOSITION 3a): =>
… It is my firm belief that => AS A GENERAL RULE => Each New Problem Solution Starts With => Memories Of PAST Optimal (Best or Near Best) & Successful Generated Constructed Created Problem Solutions.
… Although we mostly do not know what is happening inside of brains, we can speculate (educated guess) what is happening and state in human terms what these processes & mechanisms are.
… As is stated in the below PROPOSITION 5g) “We Must Learn To See! AND Successful “Seeing” Absolutely Depends On Prior Seeing Experiences & Memories Of Those Experiences. These Memories are necessary to Provide The “Basis” For Perception To Make Sense Of “What Is There”.
… Thus from the above => It is quite clear to me that (Hypothesis) => the process of perception using all 9 senses, require PREVIOUS successful perceptions, which have been stored in our brain’s massive associative memory, which have been previously saved into our brain’s memory, on purpose, ready to be so used.
… AND here I believe that => Not only are the PREVIOUS successful perceptions saved into brain’s memory, but ALSO saved to our grain’s memory are the equivalent of the signals from the 9 senses that lead to the formation of the successful PREVIOUS successful perceptions, that were saved to brain’s memory.
… (DATE-LINE May 14, 2023 by Henry Gurr: The previous sentence’s “idea” was a sudden, automatic, spontaneous, Mental Arrival last evening as I sat in the dark pondering how to more fully fille-in missing steps in my explanation the perception process, already on the WebPage you are currently reading. ) :
… And Then, (Hypothesis) When faced with a life’s problem coming at us in a physical circumstance, our brain does a “Memory Partial Fit To Sensory Input,” as follows=> 1) The ongoing 9 senses inputs from the surrounding world, are matched-up-against a massive lifetime of memories of previously saved 9 senses inputs from the surrounding world. 2) Somehow, the part of the brain’s memories (of the previously saved 9 senses inputs) are accessed so that =>
i) The ACCESS to the various parts of the massive PREVIOUSLY saved memories of the 9 senses inputs from the surrounding world, are =>:
ii) Successively gradually “adjusted” for a slides to Better And Better Partial Fit to the existing present moments ongoing 9 senses inputs from the surrounding world.
… In other words => There is search in the brain’s memory for the previously saved 9 senses input patterns (ie previous Problem Solutions for a similar life’s problem coming at us in a similar physical circumstance), which have been previously saved into our massive associative memory bank, just on purpose, ready to be so used.
…(Hypothesis continued and stated in other words) The parts that have a rough “Partial Fit” Memory, start the Partial Fit Problem Solution, and from this, the “Solution” most likely gradually slides to Better And Better Partial Fits, When the solution is of sufficient Quality (Fitness, Merit, Coherence), of “The Needed Solution”, It then Mentally Arrives into Conscious Mind.
… And Then, (Hypothesis) When Mentally Arrives into Conscious Mind, a NEW successful perception, this is saved back into brain’s memory, as added content to the massive lifetime of memories of previously saved 9 senses inputs from and memories of, the surrounding world.
… ]This, of course, is what always happens whenever there has been a => Single (“only-one-at-a-time”), Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solution (Answer), that has been spontaneously & automatically generated, constructed, created, by Our Problem Solving Brain: And the Solution is of sufficient Quality ( Fitness, Merit, Coherence), for this Solution (Answer) to Mentally Arrives into Our Conscious Mind..

In Other Words => There Is Always A Slide To A Better And Better Solution (Partial) Fit, Better Than Any Previous Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solution)
…We Can Suppose That => NEW Combinations Of Memories, Are Selectively Added To Memory, Based On Their Quality Of Partial Fit, Which Is On Their Ability To Make A Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solution!
… As a consequence, Our Brain Always Will Spontaneously Brain Slide to ~Greatest Total Mental Solution Fitness: AND because the NEW Optimized (Solutions, can creatively build upon and extend the average of previous Best or Near Best Solutions: In doing this we can suppose that NEW Problem solution Combinations are brought in, leading to => Novel, Innovative, Indeed Creative Solutions, so as to achieve NEW Insights, and NEW Actions Leading To NEW Experiences, that Are Automatically, Combined Into The NEW Emerging Solution.
… In this way => Our Brain’s Memories continue to be creatively & innovatively improved, with each memory re-visit, (retrieval re-activation cycle, which are necessary for the New Mental Arrival Solution, to be automatically stored back into same locations of our Brain’s Memory, as Further Refurbished Memories.
… Be Sure to Note Well =>This Is An Automatic Spontaneous Optimizing Creative Memory Cycle => Which Achieves New Learning, Refinement Of Skills, Better Habits, Improved, Solidified, Updated Knowledge, And Many More Examples. '
…This is A Cycle Of Regenerative Upward Learning Spiral Of Compounded, Creative, Building-On-(And Beyond)-The-Previous, Ever Improved Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Memory.
a) This Automatic Spontaneous Optimizing Creative Memory Cycle Steps Are => Original Memory > Memory ReAccesed > Provides Memory Base For Perception & Other What Do Next > Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrival to Consciousness With Future-Plans, Emotions & Feelings, Etc > Action > Success > Refine & Improve Solution Saved Back Into Memory > Enhanced & ReFurbished Memory. =>
b) Above Shortened To => A Regenerative Memory Cycle Of ReAccess & ReFurbish =>
c) Above Abbreviates To => ReAccess & ReFurbish Cycle.
d) Above Abbreviates To => Useful Acronym => RRC
NOTE: Also here remember the 11 word name => “Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory”

A Good Understanding Of How Our Problem Solving Achieves Optimum, (Best Or Near Best, ~Maximum Fitness), requires a good overall understanding of Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” And special learning attention should be give‘’(*metaph’’*), to the discussion(s) under the following key concepts
=>

NOTE: The “Trial & Error” done by our Problem Solving Brain, is similar to mathematics sequence of i) First Approximation, which is then ii) Used in turn to create an even better Second Approximation, which is used in turn to then iii) Create an even better Third Approximation, etc.
Thus, As A General Rule => Each New Partial Fit Solution Starts With, Memories Of Past Optimal & Successful Creative Solutions: And Then There Is Always A Slide To A” Better & Better Partial Fit Than WAS The Previous Optimum Solution” =>
… Thus Based On Their Quality, Fitness, Merit, or Coherence => NEW Solutions Are Built Upon Combinations Of Memories, Which Creatively Are Best Partial Fit To Current Sensory Input, And Are Thus Creatively Better! These Better Solutions Are Added To Memory, So The NEXT Successful Creative Solutions, Are Even Better!
… In Other Words, The NEW Creative Solutions, From Our Problem Solving Brain’s Creatively Ability, Go Well Beyond, The Previous Best Solutions: And This Is What Is Actually Observed, Whenever Our Problem Solving Brain, Makes A Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit.
… As a consequence, Our Problem Solving Brain Will Spontaneously Brain-Slide to ~Greatest Total Mental Solution Fitness, for the situation at hand:
… Thus NEW combinations are Generated, Constructed, Created, leading to => Novel, Innovative, Indeed Creative, Further Refurbishment of Brain’s Memory, That Are Automatically, Combined Into The New Emerging Solution.
… These Creative Solutions Are => De-Novo, Absolutely New, and Entering New Territory, For The Very First Time! Which Were Never Before Realized!
… It is likely that the inter-neuron connections that were accessed, to achieve a Solution, were the self-same neurons, that are sub sequentially changed / up-dated, to effectively “hold” the new memories, as a result of the New Solution so created into Consciousness. In this way => Our brain memories continue to be innovatively improved, with each memory re-visit, (re-activation, retrieval), because the new optimized solutions, and can creatively build upon and extend the average of previous good solutions, which were saved back into the self-same Memory Locations for this very purpose.
… These creatively improved memories in people (and animals), leads to learning, training, skills, insight, formation of habits, and expert performance. Thus it is that Genuine Creative Solutions, Keep, On Building, Better & Better, Our Whole Life!
… As a General Rule => The Net result of this Creative Brain Action in all the people in a society, century after century, is seen in continuing improvements in areas of Invention, Discovery, and Other Creative Art Endeavors. … This is because, in each member of society, NEW Creative Solutions, come from their => Problem Solving Brain’s Ability To Make A Slide to Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solutions, Mental Arrivals into Conscious Mind.
… These Creative Solutions Are => De-Novo, Absolutely New, and Entering New Territory, For The Very First Time! Which Were Never Before Realized!
… These Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals in individual persons (Similar to a Flash of Insight), creatively discover absolutely new, novel, De-Novo, innovative, ideas, processes, and scientific knowledge, where no hint of these existed previously! These can then be distributed into this world
… These creatively improved memories in persons, distributed throughout a population over the Human Society Generations, leads to cultural advances, ever escalating creation of new concepts and abstractions, leading to ever-changing language, leading ultimately to Owen Barfield’s “Evolution of Consciousness”, As Stated In Next =>
… Henry S Gurr’s Proto Theory, APPENDIX XVIII: => Most especially, wherever Owen Barfield discusses his “Evolution of Consciousness”, where the perceptive reader will see => Human Social Cultural Creativity, is the ne‘’(*metaph’’*), result of => What has been produced by the past greater than ~10,000 years of Human Population having Intrinsically Generative, Constructive, Creative, Problem Solving Brains!.

… Our Problem Solving Brain, Automatically, Spontaneously, Generates (Constructs Creates) A Mental Model For What is “Out There”, Makes Us Aware, And Gives Us Good O’l Reality! Which In Turn IS What Is Herein Call “Primary Consciousness.

1) “Perception”, Which Is A Human Ability, In which UN-Conscious Brain Processes automatically, responding to the 9 Senses, Generates (Creates Constructs) what is called a Mental Model of The Exterior World, that then Mentally Arrive into Conscious Mind, which in This WebPage, is called “Primary Consciousness” .

2) Related to Perception, is what Owen Barfield calls ”Figuration”.

3). A Sub Category Of “Perception” Is Called (In The Literature by various workers), “Pattern Recognition”.

Both “Perception”, and “Pattern Recognition’’ are (In The Literature), official names of topics discussed in a huge literature of psychology, brain research, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy, and accordingly This WebPage You Are Currently Reading, ALSO uses these concepts, with their standard meaning:
… And or course, when reading any of this literature, and you see the word Perception (or Pattern Recognition, you should remember the discussion of This WebPage, and think => “What is really happening in Perception (or Pattern Recognition) is => The Problem Solving Brain finding Generates (Constructs Creates) A Mental Model Of ‘What Is Out There In Surrounding Physical World; and this Mentally experienced as “Primary Consciousness”

PROPOSITION 5f): As Implied Above => Our Problem Solving Brain’s Pattern Recognition, And Indeed All Of Perception, Is Automatic &Spontaneous, From UN-Conscious Brain Process.

For The Convenience of The Reader Of This WebPage You Are Currently Reading => Here Starts An Listing Of The Title Lines Of 18 Propositions Of => Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” '''

Proposition 1): Every function of the brain is a form of problem solving, where the solutions provide each answer to the consciousness, as a holistic, general solution which guides our actions (Intentions), with appropriate feelings & emotions.

Proposition 2): The above brain function is performed using the whole of the nervous system, in response to sensory inputs, and solutions presented into Consciousness as Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals. An exception to this would be involuntary or automatic actions, for which the brain/nervous system serves as a mediator, but we (to our conscious mind), are totally UN-aware of these brain actions.

Proposition 3): For each problem the brain yields a quick, yet not perfect, solution which accomplishes the majority of all goals concerned for a minority of cost, in other words a “quick & good enough” solution for the oncoming problems of life.

Proposition 4): These solutions are automatically holistic and unified, because both of these qualities are required for the solution to be successful at all. These solutions are often arrived upon by examining previous memories, fitting them to the current surrounding world situation, and creatively using/combining what worked successfully in the past, but with increased adaptability to the problem(s) at hand.

Proposition 5): These memories are accessed by matching previously saved memories, to similar sensory inputs to the current situation. Repeated exposure allows for repeated “new solutions” which leads to a even more optimum solutions, which are in a cycle saved back into memory, for future similar use.

Proposition 6): Through repeated access of a memory, that selfsame memory. then has more “layers” added to it by each access. Essentially, each time you remember a memory, you are actually remembering the last time you remembered it, and therefore all times previous!

Proposition 7): An approach to a problem’s holistic solution in proposition 3) may involve up to 7 plus/minus 2 subsidiary solutions, composed into a whole from other memories.

Proposition 8): Consciousness is a result of a natural process of problem solving, where the problem was how to generate adequate awareness for an organism, thus increasing survival adaptability for multiple life’s problems.

Proposition 9): Cognition occurs as a stream of one input into the next, responding to the ongoing series of inputs from the senses, as well as what the person in thinking. It appears to be an integrated punctuated series of inputs, rather than a dream-like stream, because these are the specific points it “surfaces” into consciousness.

Proposition 10): Approximately the same as Proposition 6)

Proposition 11): Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals into Conscious Mind, likely begin as a small nascent coherence impulse and, while propagating themselves, exclude below-threshold Mental Arrivals, and likely sum with others of a high enough coherence, propagating themselves, and gathering force with all they have summed with.

Proposition 12): Same as Proposition 6), explained in terms of Proposition . 11]

Proposition 13): The near optimal solution is usually the one with the most logical progression, and which best unifies its elements as well.

Proposition 14): The J.J. Hopfield Neuronal Network Model is the most productive way to understand How Our Mind Works, and in it coherence emerges: And if Hopfield’s Model is found lacking, should his work should be the basis for seeking a potentially better model, as basis for understanding the workings of our brain.

Proposition 15): Humans brains and those in other animals, are fairly similar in how Interconnected Neurons are use for perception and control of behavior. Thus => Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, applies to animals as well.

Proposition 16): We are aware of Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals (similar to the Flash of Insight), only because our brain has been brought to a halt, because an adequate solution has not been found, for some portion of the on coming problems of life. In other words, our has troubles with finding an Optimal Solution, to some portion of the problem(s) at hand. In other words, our Problem Solving Brain can not achieve adequate solution, whether conscious or unconscious,

Proposition 17): As given to us by our evolutionary heritage => Consciousness, is the result of Unconscious Brain Processes, which Generate, Construct, Create Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals (much like the Flash of Insight), producing awareness of ongoing perceptions which enter our conscious awareness.

Proposition 18): Continuing From PROPOSITION 17): Above => We Have Ongoing Normal Mental Life & Ordinary Perceptions, WHEN We Are NOT Stuck, Blocked, Stuck At An Impasse, & Thus Waiting For That Flash Of Insight or Other Mental Arrival Solution.
… BUT NOTE WELL => Before, During, and After This Waiting Time, We Have Not, Even Slightest Hint, Or Clue => That We Have An UN-Conscious Mind, OR What That UN-Conscious Mind, s Doing, In Order To Give Us This => Normal Mental Life & Ordinary Perceptions and/or Normal Mental Arrival Solution.
… This general lack of our awareness of the high-powered activity of our General Problem Solving Brain, happens (hypothesis), for VERY important reasons. Click here to read APPENDIX VII: “The Really Important Reason Why Our Conscious Mind Is NOT, The Least Bit, Aware Of Our UN-conscious Mental Processes!“
… This Fact That We Do Not Know What Our UN- Conscious Mind Is Doing (Or Mostly Don’t Have Even The Slightest Hint About It), Is Of Course What Makes Such Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals (Like The Flash Of Insight), So Mysterious, And So Unbelievable .
… This Also Is The Reasons Why My “Panorama View (Theory) of How Our Mind Works” => Is SO Hard To Understand, Let Alone Believe!
…Moreover, fact that the operations of the UN-conscious are so “totally out of mind”, leaves us with few ways to know of its existence, despite its extreme importance!
…Indeed, this is largely responsible for people in our culture not knowing much, if anything, about our UN- Conscious Mental Processes. This, strange to say, includes philosophers, scientists and other experts! This is a case of perceptual blindness, which is only cured by (any person’s) careful watching for the results, of its otherwise invisible processes!
… Of Course, If There Is No Halt At A Sticking Point, Then The On-Going Solutions Simply Come Into Our Conscious Mind As Ongoing UN-Apparent Mental Arrivals, Otherwise Known As Our Natural Conscious Perceptions, Herein More Generally Called “Primary Consciousness” .
… And I Believe (Hypothesis) (Came To My Mind), These problem Solving Brain, “Our Ongoing Natural Conscious Perceptions, Experienced As UN-Apparent Mental Arrivals”, Approximately IS The Explanation Of Our Experiences Of Our Conscious Mind And Consciousness, Herein More Generally Called “Primary Consciousness” . Or at least as can be expressed in words.

Proposition 19: Beyond The Above PROPOSITIONS 17) & 18) Explanations Of Consciousness => It Is NOT Necessary, And Likely Unsuccessful), To Inquire Further Into How Consciousness Works

Proposition 20a): Concomitant With Any Mental Arrival’s Future Plan (Intention, Accompanied By Feelings & Emotion), As Observed (Hypothesis=>), There Must Be, Expressed In Human Terms =>
… A) Be A Way, To Be Sure=> ~GUARANTEE That Any Future Plan Actually Proceeds Toward Full Completion:
… B) And, there MUST Be A Way “check-off” when a Future Plan, Has Been Fully Completed, As Intended.
… C) Hence (Hypothesis), again expressed in Human Terms =>There MUST Be A “Mental Intention List” of => ~”Items-Yet-To-Be-Done List”.

Proposition 20b): The Existence Of This => “Mental Intention List”, And Actions A) thru C), Is Established By APPENDIX II: Which Says => It is Noteworthy & Quite Amazing => The Problem Solving Brain Will Automatically Usually & Repeatedly Bring-Back To Our Minds, Important UN-Finished Business, Loose-Ends, or Other Needful Actions That Must Be Done.

PROPOSITION 21): IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THAT =>
…The Problem Solving Brain Will Come-To-A-Halt, When There Are NO Solutions Of Sufficient Quality, Fitness, Merit, Or Overall Coherence, For A Mental Arrival Appearance In Consciousness.
…AND Even More Amazing That Instantly We IMMEDIATELY KNOW, By Mental Arrival Solutions Into Our “Primary Conscious’ Mind, That =>

PROPOSITION 22a): The Overall Content (and Timing) Of Mental Arrivals, Such As Flash Of Insight Or Others, May Be Used To Not Only Measure How WELL Your Perception System Is Working, But Also Shows We Constantly Have An Automatic, Spontaneous, Ability To Immediately Come To Attention =>
When Something New, Important, Pleasurable, Peculiar, Odd, Different, Out-Of-Place, Is Coming Into Our Five Senses!

PROPOSITION 22b): ADDS This Idea => THE AUTOMATIC, SPONTANEOUS, ABILITIES TO IMMEDIATELY COME TO ATTENTION, Are Essentially Mental Arrivals, Which Have Evident Darwinian Biological Survival Value. This Is Illustrated In Examples, Which Are In PROPOSITION 16a) & 16b).

A) THIS IS THE END OF => AN ABBREVIATED LISTING OF THE 22 PROPOSITIONS OF Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works. ''

B) AND THIS IS THE END OF => A REVIEW OF IDEAS, NECESSARY FOR CONTINUED READING OF THIS SECTION III, OF THE WEBPAGE YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING.
… In Which This Review, Duplicated The “Essential Introductory Parts Of => ”Henry S Gurr’s Theory Explanation Of “How Our Mind Works”. ''

Although We Absolutely Do Not Know Just How Nature Operates Our Brain => Overall, Please Remember That => In Response To Life’s Problems Coming At Us =>

Our Problem Solving Brain, Automatically, Spontaneously, Always Finds => Best Or Near Best Partial Fit Solutions (Answers), Wherein =>

From PROPOSITION 5d): During Perception, In Response To Our Sensory Inputs (9 Senses), From Our Ever-Present Surroundings
… Our Problem Solving Brain, Automatically, Spontaneously, Generates (Constructs Creates) A Mental Model For What is “Out There”, Makes Us Perceive, Apprehend, Discern, Comprehend, Reason, Know, Intuit, Insight, Visualize, Imagine, Understand, Have Meaning, Cognition, and Be Aware Of Our Surroundings! AND Gives Us Good O’l Reality! Which In Turn IS What Is Herein Call “Primary Consciousness.
… This “Primary Consciousness‘’ Is A SPECIAL CASE Of Solutions That Appear, When Our Senses Are Stimulated, By Our Ever Present Environment, Which Is Automatically, Spontaneously, Generated (Constructed Created) This “Primary Consciousness‘’ As =>
… … A) A Mental Visual “Theater Stage”, A Mental Visual “Action Arena” or Platform Or “Performance Space”, INTO Which Can Then Appear =>
… … B) Into Which => The Other Herein Discussed Problem Solution Sudden Automatic Spontaneous, Mental Arrivals, That ADDITIONALLY Come Into Our Primary Consciousness Mind.

… The Above Mentioned Abilities, Result From Problem Solving Brain Solutions That Are => Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrival Into Our Conscious Mind, Optimum Problem Solution, Weighted Partial Fit To Memory.
… What is really happening in our “Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory” is changing the strength of the synapsis inter-neuron connections, as illustrated by Princeton Theoretical Physicist J. J. Hopfield’s Neuronal Network Model.

However The Equivalent, As Expressed In Human Understandable Words, Is This =>
… (Hypothesis),When we perceive our surrounding world our brain does a “Problem Solving Brain Partial Fit To Sensory Input,” as follows=> The sensory inputs from the surrounding world, are matched-up-against a massive lifetime of memories of previously recognized sensory input patterns (In other words, Previous Partial Fit Solutions), which have been previously saved into our massive associative memory bank, on purpose, ready to be so used, for this very purpose.
… (Hypothesis continued) => The parts that have a rough “Partial Fit” to existing previous saved memory, start the Partial Fit Problem Solution, and thus (hypothesis:), from this most likely gradually slides to Better And Better Partial Fits), resulting in the constructed Mental Model of what is “out there”.

A Prologue For SECTION III, Which Is On The Page You Are Currently Reading =>

PERCEPTION, PATTERN RECOGNITION, AND PARTIAL FIT PROBLEM SOLVING, Plus ADDITIONAL Real Life Applications Of Henry Gurr Theory Of How Our Mind Works.

A LITANY IN THIS WEBPAGE YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING => A NEW, VERY IMPORTANT IDEA =>
……. ALL IS PARTIAL FIT PROBLEM SOLVING!

… In human understandable words, we can say (hypotheses), =>''' In The Spontaneous Automatically Generated (Constructed & Created) Solutions of Our Problem Solving Brain, During ALL Time => There always is a Slide to Better & Better Partial Fit, based on Our General Problem Solving Brain’s “Quality Measure of “the Degree of Partial Fit”, which can also be called “Fitness” or “Merit” or “Quality of Fit” or “Degree of Coherence:

HYPOTHESIS: FOR OUR PROBLEM SOLVING BRAIN, ALL AUTOMATIC SPONTANEOUS MENTAL ARRIVALS ARE => ALWAYS A SLIDE TO BETTER & BETTER PARTIAL FIT SOLUTIONS (ANWERS) TO => LIFE’S ONCOMING PROBLEMS! '''
… Where The Quality Of The Successive Builds To A Better & Better Partial Fit Solution, Of Course, All The While This Still Is A Partial Fit, Just Better And Better!
… This Is A Fit Of => A) The Incoming The Sensory Input, To => B) The Developing Mental Model (Partial Fit To The Surrounding World), Which O/C Is The Forthcoming Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrival Into “Primary Consciousness .
… Naturally The Parts That “Don’t Fit”, Reduce The “Quality Measure Of Fit”: In Other Words< Reduce The Total Solution Fitness.
… We can suppose that the Total Quality of any Better & Better Partial Fit is raised by, spreading activation to include other parts of existing memory that DO FIT: And (hypothesis), thus assemble an Optimum Partial Fit Solution, of the composite memory parts, leading to a Solution having High Optimum Total Quality Measure, and if of sufficient Quality (i.e. sufficient Merit or Fitness), Automatically, Spontaneously, Suddenly Mentally Arrive into Conscious Mind.
… In human understandable words, this may be (alternately) viewed as a sort of ~ trial and error, to fill in, and Slide Better And Better Partial Fit, to the Final Sudden Mental Arrival into Conscious Mind, of the Final Mental Model of “what’s out there”. Wherein, the parts that “don’t Partial Fit (hypothesis) are replaced by those that do!! (HSG has seen this mental happening numerous times.) A Partial Fit is used to start a process, that by spreading activation, builds to a Better & Better Partial Fit: Of course, all the while this still is a Partial Fit, just better and better! When any coming solution, if of sufficient Quality, or Merit, it Automatically, Spontaneously, Suddenly Mentally Arrives into our Consciousness, and subsequently we perceive a glorious 3D world in full color around us! We not only see trees, we see branches, bark, leaves, and all waving in the wind! We see not only books, we see chapters, paragraphs, sentences, words, letters, numbers, and the flipping of pages!
… This Is How, By Our Awake Conscious Mind, We Are Kept Grounded, By “Good O’l Reality '', And Not Go Off Into Dreaming Or Other Hallucinations!

OFFICIAL START of SECTION III: => Perception, Pattern Recognition, and Partial Fit Problem Solving, Plus ADDITIONAL Real Life Applications Of Henry Gurr “Theory Of How Our Mind Works”. =>

In this WebPage you are currently reading, you will see how Henry S Gurr’s “Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, => Provides a basic & general mechanisms for the Psychology of Perception, and a Sub-Category, the Psychology of Pattern Recognition: Where these two areas of study are explained by Partial Fit Problem Solving =>

Most Especially As Discussed Next Below Is =>

A LITANY IN THIS WEBPAGE YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING => A NEW, VERY IMPORTANT IDEA =>
……. ALL IS PARTIAL FIT PROBLEM SOLVING!
… In order for you the reader, to further understand the VERY important ideas of Partial Fit Problem Solution, below is a needed re-focused re-cap of => Relevant discussion duplicated from My (Henry Gurr), Most Recent Theory Formulation, given in Blue Link above.

Partial Fit Problem Solution (In Literature Officially Called “Perception” or “Pattern Recognition”) Are The Result Of Our Problem Solving Brain’s Most Especially Powerful And Useful Abilities =>
… ‘’’ That Which Makes These “Partial Fit (Best And Near Best) Solutions” Possible, Functional, Indeed Successful, Is Our Brain’s Massive Computational Power, Using And Supported By => '''

… Hypothesis: These memories are of previous recognized patterns of sensory inputs, which have been especially remembered, for the very purpose of matching-up-against => The right now, newly incoming, second-by-second, real world, sensory inputs.’’’ Such remembered sensory inputs, which were in the original actions of perception, when re-accessed, are then successively adjusted (with weighted strengths), until there is achieved, a “match-up-against”, current split second real world, sensory inputs. The result is ~we perceive what is out there, around us, and even in us.

D) Below, Is An Example You Will Find In My “MPPS Article '', Blue Link Below: '

E) Below, Is An Example You Will Find In My “Brain Owner User Manual '', Blue Link Below: '

STARTING THE TOPIC OF => ANIMAL CAMOUFLAGE PHOTOS => WHICH ARE EXERCISES WHERE YOU CAN “SEE BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES” =>

… How “Partial Fit Problem Solving”, Spontaneously * Automatically Spontaneously Always Moves From Very Low Partial Fit, To Better & Better Partial Fit, And Then Even Better Partial Fit!!
… Although Partial Fit Problem Solution, applies to ALL Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals into our Consciousness, you will most readily “see-it-happen”, in area of visual perception. The Camouflage Photos, below will help you to Catch-In-The-Very-Act, the Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden Mental Arrivals, Always Moving To Better & Better Partial Fit!
********

Listed As 3) Thru 18) Below=> Are Photos From ''Google Search Results For => …Camouflage…
… A MAJOR PURPOSE Of These Camouflage Photos Is To Show You Example Of => The Steps Of Your Problem Solving Brain Giving Better & Better Partial Fit Solutions.
… As you Each of these BELOW photos has a hidden camouflaged animal, some in plain sight! However in looking hard at most of them, at first, you will see only confusion, such as jumble of trees, bushes, grass, or dry leaves!!
… AND at the time of your firs view, all you have, for the animal, is practically a ~Zero Partial Fit Problem Solution. … Keep looking & looking …And you may suddenly spot part of the animal, say the body, or head, or eyes.
… Now you have a “Better Partial Fit Problem Solution”, beyond the confusing jumble of trees, leaves, & grass. Now, as you continue to study the photo, you may experience suddenly finding more of the remaining parts of the animal body, which suddenly “fills-in”! … Now you have an “Even Better Partial Fit Problem Solution”.
… Keep looking and you will be able to find the legs, tail, etc for a “Further Even Better Partial Fit Problem Solution”
… Keep on looking & looking, and you eventually will be able to mostly fill-in the location of the entire animal. This is an “Even Better Partial Fit Problem Solution”, even though much of the animal’s shape is covered by brush & trees.
… …

… And as I said in my MPPS Article , “The next time you see one of these “Hidden Animal” Photos, you will spot the animal a whole lot faster!” Thus in those Automatic, Spontaneous, Sudden "Partial Fit Problem Solutions,", you have accomplished permanent learning!! Your learning results in new skills, knowledge, and memories. Your Memory has been near instantly been "added to"!!.

A CONTINUATION of LITANY => ALL AUTOMATIC, SPONTANEOUS, SUDDEN MENTAL ARRIVALS INTO CONSCIOUS MIND ARE FROM PARTIAL FIT PROBLEM SOLVING!

… In other words there is never a 0 % Non-Fit nor a 100% Perfect-Fit!!

Just “How This Partial Fit Works”, In Actual Human Experience =>
… Will Be The Focus Of The Remainder Of This WebPage You Are Currently Reading, With Discussion And More Examples.

A) To Start Discussion => Below Are Three Noteworthy 1), 2), 3), Demonstrations Of Partial Fit, Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, Going To A Better Partial Fit. MAROON These were “Caught-In-The-Act-Of-Happening” (*metaph'')
… Although Simple & Mundane, The Point Here Is To SHOW You How To WATCH Your Mind In The Act!! (*metaph*)
… Also This Is To SHOW You => “How This Sudden, Automatic, Spontaneous, Partial Fit Goes”, (*metaph*) Which You Should Further Realize Similar Mental Events Are Likely Happening To You All The Time, You Just Don’t Notice Them! by Henry Gurr

… Here, I need to be clear => Perception wise, everything in the room around me, and Del Monte Box, were perceptually perfectly clear. A very good Partial Fit, with a small exception => Which my Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously had fixated my eyes on: So in my Conscious Mind I found myself seeing & puzzling over a small part of the Del Monte Box. At which point my Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously => Suddenly, automatically, spontaneously solved the puzzle, with the correct answer “8 CANS”: Totally amazing!

… Here, I need to be clear => Perception wise, everything in the room around me, and the entire Newly Loaded Chrome Browser Window, and Chrome Circular Icon, all were perfectly clear. A very good Partial Fit, with a small exception => Which my Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously had fixated my eyes on: So in my Conscious Mind I found myself seeing & puzzling over small fuzzy part, of the Laptop Screen. At which point my Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously => Mental Arrival, brought this puzzle to my Conscious Attention. And then, just as suddenly, automatically, spontaneously solved the puzzle, with the correct answer “It’s my photo”: Totally amazing!

… Here, I need to be clear => This was “Practically All or None Mental Recognition”! Perception wise, all Cinnamon’s perceptions of the surrounding scenery & my commands to her, must have been perfectly clear to her. Good Partial Fit. Except, for this dog, who was very intelligent, normally alert & cautious about strange things, absolutely did NOT perceive anything strange, or worthy of attention, except not to step on it. But Cinnamon was willing to pause & look for, and puzzle over, what I was telling her ….” Look, Look, Look” …. Until, wham, her Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously connected, fully connected, and she automatically & spontaneously, started to investigate what her perception system told her was a highly dangerous situation, potentially exceedingly painful and deadly situation. Which here she suddenly perceived. Most mammals, especially primates have a natural fear for snakes.
… It was, of course, at this point at which Cinnamon’s Problem Solving Brain automatically & spontaneously, with my frantic urging => Was able finally, after a long delay , to follow my pointings & commandings, and Sudden Mental Arrival, brought this puzzling situation to her Conscious Attention, long enough for puzzle solving to be acting. And then, just as suddenly, automatically, spontaneously solved the puzzle, with the correct answer! But despite the supremely recognized danger, she moved closer and closer to get a good smell, because dogs, or at least Cinnamon, trust smell more than vision. In this case it took a lot of “coaching” and lots of time for Cinnamon’s perception to solidly “latch onto” => “It’s highly dangerous!”:
… SUMMARY: It took over 20 seconds, but finally Cinnamon’s Problem Solving Brain, automatically, spontaneously, and suddenly, finally found a Far Better Partial Fit! … Totally amazing!

On Wed May 31, 2023, as I started up my Laptop Computer => The below Surarloaf Mountain Photo appeared on my computer screen. BUT … At first I ONLY saw the a) Big Rock Mountain called Sugar Loaf, and the b) Many wires at right, that I was thinking were Electrical Power Wires. And as I was puzzling about the wires, and moving my eyes to the right …. Suddenly automatically spontaneously, into what was previously just A Blank Blue Sky Aera … Pop … suddenly automatically spontaneously, … The Cable Car image suddenly appeared!!
… Here, I need to be clear => Perception wise, everything in the room around me, and all of the parts of my Laptop Computer (Keyboard, Viewing Screen, etc), and even the ENTIRE below photo, ALL were perfectly “there” and clear. BUT what was , absolutely NOT perceived was the Cable Car Iimage!
… SUMMARY: It took over ~2 seconds, but finally My Problem Solving Brain, automatically, spontaneously, and suddenly, finally SAW tbe Cable Car image. So this is another clear case of => A good Partial Fit, which then => Suddenly automatically spontaneously moved to & found a Far Better Partial Fit! … Totally amazing!

“ | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugarloaf_Mountain[| Photo From Win10 Laptop. ]] A Good Partial Fit Perception Of The Above Photo, Was Observed, To Automatically, Spontaneously, And Suddenly, Finally Find A Far Better Partial Fit!. .

A) Cont From “Start Discussion” => A SPECIAL NOTE: From The Above You Learned About Three Noteworthy 1), 2), 3), Demonstrations Of Partial Fit, Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, Going To A Better Partial Fit. {+MAROON’’} These were “Caught-In-The-Act-Of-Happening.” (*metaph*'')
… Although Simple & Mundane, The Point Here Is To SHOW You How To WATCH Your Mind In The Act! (*metaph*)
… AND, This Is To SHOW You => “How This Sudden, Automatic, Spontaneous, Partial Fit Goes”‘’(*metaph*) Which You Should Further Realize Similar Mental Events Are Likely Happening To You All The Time, You Just Don’t Notice These.

A) Cont: SUMMARY: The Above 3 Demonstrations Of Partial Fit, Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, Going To A Better Partial Fit, Were =>

Now, Noteworthy Is The Following =>
… In these 3 stories, you should especially notice, that The Problem Solving Brain (Of Man & Animal), Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, brought a Best or Near Best Solution into Conscious Mind. Attention was drawn to the awareness of a puzzle, something was unusual, out of place, puzzling, wrong, and possibly dangerous. This is of course, a quite functional, and needed action for Biological Darwinian Survival, and may well be built in property of animals in general.
B): DATE-LINE July 24, 2022 By Henry Gurr: My Mind Suddenly Automatically Spontaneously Jumped To The Idea That => I Should Type Up This Up And Tell Readers Of This NEW Property Of Our Problem Solving Brain, Of Man & Animal!!
… I was happily working at my computer, when I paused to rest, and happened to look out the window to the Southwest. Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, my attention was drawn to a clump of Green Leaves, that were darker & more dense & compact than usual. In this case it was slightly puzzling why this was so dense, but otherwise nothing was special or wrong.
… But this incident instantly reminded me of the above 3 stories, and how our “Attention was automatically, spontaneously, drawn to something puzzling, something was unusual, etc. And then my mind suddenly automatically spontaneously jumped to the fact that my “Henry S Gurr’s Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , does not (yet) discuss this automatically, spontaneously “drawn to something puzzling, something was unusual, etc.”. This of course automatically, spontaneously, brought into my Conscious Mind, the idea that I should type up this up to help me remember, and tell readers of This WebPage, of this property of the Problem Solving Brain, Of Man & Animal!!

''' C): DATE-LINE March 28, 2024 By Henry Gurr: My Paper Notes For Edit Revisions To This WebPage You Are Currently Reading Said => Review Documents For Newly Added Partial Fit Conclusions. Mind Suddenly Automatically Spontaneously Jumped To The Idea That => I Should Use pmWiki “Recent Changes” Page, Which Found The Following =>
As Can Be Directly Observed => A NEW REALIZATION =>

…This above NEW conclusions about Creativity in Writing Composition, came to my mind in a sudden automatic spontaneous Flash of Insight ]
…This then leads me almost instantly, to a Second automatic spontaneous Flash of Insight => Mental Arrivals in general (which may be easily seen, in The Processes of Writing Composition,) are very similar to the automatic spontaneous Mental Arrival Problem Solutions that are no doubt happening more generally throughout human society over most of recorded human history.

… .. a perceptual phenomenon in which an observer experiences an unpredictable sequence of spontaneous subjective changes. While usually associated with visual perception (a form of optical illusion), multistable perception can also be experienced with auditory and olfactory percepts.”
… ..“Perceptual multistability [that] can be evoked by visual patterns that are too ambiguous for the human visual system to definitively and uniquely interpret. Familiar examples include the Necker cube, Schroeder staircase, structure from motion, monocular rivalry, and binocular rivalry, but many more visually ambiguous patterns are known. Because most of these images lead to an alternation between two mutually exclusive perceptual states, they are sometimes also referred to as bistable perception.”
… “Craters in stereo vision, such as our eyes, normally appear concave. However, in monocular presentations, such as photographs, the elimination of our depth perception causes multistable perception, which can cause the craters to look like plateaus rather than pits. For humans, the "default" interpretation comes from an assumption of top-left lighting, so that rotating the image by 180 degrees can cause the perception to suddenly switch.[6][7] This phenomenon is called the concave/convex, or simply up/down, ambiguity, and it confuses computer vision as well.[“

exemplification, comparisons, metaphors, similes, allegories, and parables, but not metonymy. Phrases like and so on, and the like, as if, and the very word like also rely on an analogical understanding by the receiver of a message including them. Analogy is important not only in ordinary language and common sense (where proverbs and idioms give many examples of its application) but also in science, philosophy, law and the humanities. The concepts of association, comparison, correspondence, mathematical and morphological homology, homomorphism, iconicity, isomorphism, metaphor, resemblance, and similarity are closely related to analogy. In cognitive linguistics, the notion of conceptual metaphor may be equivalent to that of analogy.”

…

A SECOND INTERLUDE: FOR A PERSON OTHER THAN HENRY GURR => HOW A SHAKESPERE EXPERT => EXPLAINS THE HUMAN MENTAL “ACTON’ CALLED METAPHOR =>
… Please Study The Following From Webpage “Shakespeare’s Top 20 Metaphors”, Since These Are Important & Useful Ways Of Thinking About The Topic Of => Metaphor.

… Welcome To Shakespeare’s Top 20 Metaphors: (*metaph*),
”In Shakespeare’s many works he reflects and enhances the English language’s reputation as a metaphorical one. So many of our everyday expressions today are in fact Shakespeare metaphors – from ‘wild goose chase’ in Romeo and Juliet and ‘seen better days’ in As You Like It to ‘forever and a day’ also from As You Like It and ‘good riddance’ from Troilus and Cressida.”
… ” English is a language where it’s very difficult to have a conversation without using metaphors. When we’re very cold we many say that we’re freezing, when hot, that we’re boiling, when hungry that we’re starving. We may say that we’ve been battling against a neighbor for weeks, that we’re chasing after a solution, that we’re dying to know who won a match, that our parents pounce on us when we do something wrong. When someone talks nonsense we say they babble, when something starts to happen we say it’s taking off, when something has ended we say it’s dead.”
… “All of those things are normal, everyday utterances in spoken English, so it’s perhaps no surprise that England’s finest writer has so many examples of metaphors in his works. Shakespeare’s texts are mainly written in verse, which are almost completely metaphorical, as is his prose. Here’s our pick of 20 of the very best Shakespeare metaphors:”
HSG SUGGESTION =>
As you read these “Top 20”, you should be watching & thinking =>
… Just what is it? That your Mind is “using” to “see” Shakespeare’s “metaphoric” relations? (*metaph*)
… Just what is it? That helps our Mind “penetrate into” these various metaphors? (*metaph*)
… MAROON You should be looking for Shelley’s “Metaphorical language marks the before unapprehended relations of things and perpetuates their apprehension [in the mind]”. (*metaph*)

Metaphor 1, Hamlet:
But, look, the morn, in russet mantle clad,
Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastern hill

Metaphor 2, Romeo & Juliet:
Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder East:
Night’s candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops

Metaphor 3, Henry V:
His face is all carbuncles, and whelks, and knobs, and flames of fire; and his lips plows at his nose, and it is like a coal of fire, sometimes blue, and sometimes red; but his nose is executed, and his fire is out.

Metaphor 5, Antony and Cleopatra:
For his bounty,
There was no Winter in’t; an Autumn ’twas
That grew the more by reaping: his delights
Were dolphin-like; they show’d his back above
The element they liv’d in: in his livery
Walk’d crowns and crownets

Metaphor 6, Romeo and Juliet:
Death, that hath suck’d the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquer’d; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advancèd there.
Why art thou yet so fair? shall I believe
That unsubstantial Death is amorous;
And that the lean abhorrèd monster keeps
Thee here in dark to be his paramour?

Metaphor 7, Henry IV Part 1:
O, then th’ Earth shook to see the heavens on fire,
And not in fear of your nativity.
Diseasèd Nature oftentimes breaks forth
In strange eruptions; oft the teeming Earth
Is with a kind of cholic pinch’d and vex’d
By the imprisoning of unruly wind
Within her womb; which, for enlargement striving,
Shakes the old beldame Earth, and topples down
Steeples and moss-grown towers. At your birth,
Our grandam Earth, having this distemperature,
In passion shook

Metaphor 8, Macbeth:
Come, thick night,
And pall thee in the dunnest smoke of Hell,
That my keen knife see not the wound it makes,
Nor Heaven peep through the blanket of the dark,
To cry Hold, hold!

Metaphor 9, Macbeth:
Heaven’s cherubin, hors’d
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind.

Metaphor 10, Troilus and Cressida:
It is suppos’d,
He that meets Hector issues from our choice:
And choice, being mutual act of all our souls,
Makes merit her election; and doth boil,
As ’twere from forth us all, a man distill’d
Out of our virtues. – Troilus and Cressida

Metaphor 11, Hamlet:
To be, or not to be; that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And, by opposing, end them.

Metaphor 12, Antony and Cleopatra:
O thou day o’ the world,
Chain mine arm’d neck; leap thou, attire and all,
Through proof of harness to my heart, and there
Ride on the pants triúmphing!

Metaphor 13, Richard II:
Shakespeare is at his best with the extended metaphor, which begins with an idea, expressed as a metaphor, which is then explored and developed with yet more metaphors. In this example from Richard II John of Gaunt makes a patriotic speech, praising England.

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm this England…

This is about as good as Shakespeare’s use of metaphors gets. He piles on the metaphors. England is a throne; a monarch holding a sceptre; the headquarters of the god of war; the Garden of Eden; a fortress with the Channel being a moat; a whole world, a precious stone. The speech goes on with further metaphors developing the idea of England as a place that only superlatives can describe.

HERE ARE EXAMPLES OF LONGER SHAKESPEAR METAPHORS:

Metaphor 14, As You Like It:
All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans taste, sans eyes, sans everything.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me;
For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar
Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
Whereto my finger, like a dial’s point,
Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.
Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is
Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart,
Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans
Show minutes, times, and hours.

Metaphor 16, Othello:
Like to the Pontic sea,
Whose icy current and compulsive course
Ne’er feels retiring ebb, but keeps due on
To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
Even so my bloody thoughts, with violent pace,
Shall ne’er look back, ne’er ebb to humble love,
Till that a capable and wide revenge
Swallow them up

Metaphor 17, Romeo and Juliet:
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it.

Metaphor 18, Sonnet 18:
In Sonnet 18 the poet compares his lover to a summers day.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Metaphor 19, Sonnet 73:
In Sonnet 73 the poet, contemplating old age, compares himself to winter.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou see’st the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceiv’st, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.

Metaphor 20, Sonnet 130:
Shakespeare’s wonderful Sonnet 130 concludes this collection. In this poem he makes fun of the way poets use metaphors to praise their mistresses.

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound:
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.

CONCLUSION => William Shakespeare Is Indeed => The Master of Metaphor & Simile!
—

A THIRD INTERLUDE => HOW FIVE DIFFERENT AUTHORS (OTHER THAN HENRY GURR) EXPLAIN THE HUMAN MENTAL “ACTON’ CALLED METAPHOR =>

… These Below Five Authors Are attempting To Explain => Just What Is It? That Happens In Our Problem Solving Brain =>
… That Enables Us, Spontaneously & Automatically, Near Instantly, To “See” Meaning In Metaphors?

A) The 3 Inches Above Says => “William Shakespeare Is The Master of Metaphor & Simile”
… Please Especially Notice That This => Is In Full Agreement With Aristotle’s Saying This =>
MAROON “The greatest thing by far is to be a master of metaphor; it is the one thing that cannot be learned from others; and it is also a sign of genius; since a good metaphor implies an intuitive perception of the similarity of the dissimilar.”
… Please Notice: => In Other Words Aristotle is Saying => In Metaphor We See Clearly Demonstrated, Our Wonderful Ability To “See” => “The Likenesses & Similarities, Despite The Differences! .” <(*metaph*),

MAROON Also Here => Be Sure To Notice That Aristotle’s Passage => “Similarity Of The Dissimilar.” => Nicely Fits (*metaph*) Nearly All The Other Metaphor Mental Actions Statements (Both Above & Below), In This WebPage You Are Currently Reading.

B) | “The Oxford Companion (To The Mind).” Gregory, Richard L. (ed.) “A very informative book about the various functions and structure of mind.” In this Desk Reference Book I (Henry Gurr) looked up Metaphor, which first discusses Aristotle contribution, but adding that he had misleading points of view, leading decline in study of Metaphor.
… ”The subject was revived by Michel Jules Alfred Bréal (1832 – 1915), French philologist, was born at Landau in Rhenish Palatinate. He is often identified as a founder of modern semantics, in his Essai de Sémantique (science des significations)”. Wikipedia. “Bréal claimed that metaphor was a linguistic device, widespread in use, and of great importance in linguistic change.” Oxford Companion (To The Mind). (This linguistic change over millennia since beginning of recorded history, is also, a major theme of Owen Barfield’s “Evolution of Consciousness”.
… MAROON “The subject of Metaphor was revitalized by the famous rhetorician I A Richards, who wrote about the structures of metaphors way back in 1936.” … “Richards introduced the useful terminology:” (*metaph*)
… MAROON “Tenor = the subject of the metaphor and its intended meaning.” (*metaph*)
… MAROON “Vehicle = the language used to described the tenor.” (*metaph*)
… MAROON “Ground = the relationship between the tenor and the vehicle.” (*metaph*)

NOTE1: Although some people find this above-mentioned Richard’s (Tenor, Vehicle, Ground) “terminology” useful, Henry Gurr finds the meaning of these chosen 3 words, is way too far away from average person’s understanding, to be of any use.
NOTE2: Concerning the Metaphor Section, On This WebPage you are currently reading, which starts at => Metaphor: It’s A Different Breed Of Cat … => You find the opinions of many other authors, who have their own specialized understanding, explanations & terminology concerning Metaphor. These all have their own validity, and this is the reason I have added these, to this Metaphor Section of This WebPage you are currently reading => I hope you study these opinions, and judge how valid these are for you. Please send email if you have questions, or want more information. Even better, you are invited to send your OWN opinions & judgements as to how valid these authors are for you (or any other topics):
.
NOTE2: For a Free Download of this VERY USEFUL BOOK => “The Oxford Companion (To The Mind).” Gregory, Richard L. (ed), Can Be Found By Google. It’s Hard To Say Which Google Result To Use; You Might Try These Two =>

HoMphrFn: NOTE3: : “The Oxford Companion (To The Mind).” , goes on to give important views into how Metaphors function => (*metaph*)
… MAROON “The expression of the otherwise inexpressible is not the only communicative function that metaphors serve:. They also achieve a certain communicative compactness; since all the applicable predicates belonging to the metaphorical vehicle are implied succinctly through the vehicle itself: Thus even if what a metaphor expresses may have been more or less expressible without the metaphor; its use may be more economical and hence more effective than the long list of predicates that it entails.
… The relationship between metaphors and similarity is a complex one. Without having to commit oneself to one of the various theories about how metaphors function MAROON it is apparent that at some level, and in some way, metaphors capitalize on a similarity between the term used metaphorically (the vehicle) [ie the Metaphor word itself] and the thing that the metaphor is a metaphor for. [ie the result of using the Metaphor word] Thus, even though it may be incorrect to claim, as some have, that a metaphor is merely a statement of similarity, it is probably not incorrect to say that a metaphor is largely a statement of similarity.

C) Google Finds This Thoroughly Academic Discussion Shakespeare's Metaphors And Similes, Which Is Worthy Of Your Attention, In Explaining Metaphor As => (*metaph*)
… HoMphrFn: MAROON “In a metaphor, on the other hand, the two parts; instead of lying side by side; are drawn together and incorporated into one: The idea [expressed by the Metaphor’s word] and the image [which our Mind “sees” in this word] the thought and the illustration; are not kept distinct; but the idea is incarnated in the image; so that the image bears the same relation to the idea as the body does to the soul: In other words; the two parts are completely identified [so] their qualities interfused and interpenetrating; so that they become one: Thus a metaphor proceeds by ascribing to a given object certain actions or qualities which are not literally true of that object; and which have in reference to it only the truth of analogy.”

D) Google Finds This Author’s Understanding Of The Working of Metaphor. (*metaph*)
… Aa is stated throughout the Metaphor Section (Starting at Metaphor: It’s A Different Breed Of Cat.. ) of This WebPage you are currently reading.=> “Our Ability For Seeing” & “Understanding” Metaphor Mental Action, takes place, UN- consciously, automatically, spontaneously, quickly and so effortlessly, almost without our knowing it! This “Ability” is in agreement with the following Internet Author, who in his interesting and very good WebPage) =>
… In WebPage Titled => “Metaphor: A Bridge Over Deep Waters” QUADRUPLE METAPHOR!! (*metaph* … Says that we have => HoMphrFn MAROON … the innate capacity of the human mind to make connections; find patterns; and imagine alternatives.” … … MAROON “ …[and with] metaphors; Seems that we are hard-wired to see the connections between things; that is; to see how two seemingly disparate manifested things might be derived from the same Platonic "Idea;" to put it Greekly: And; seeing that connection; come up with a new idea that's built on something as old as the Universe itself; proving …. that creativity is an act of dis-covering what is already there but blind to most who "cannot see." (*metaph*)
Since This Internet Author (?Michael Dirkoff?), Says It So Well, Here Is His Complete Statement for “Metaphor: A Bridge Over Deep Waters”, With Comments By Henry Gurr In [Bracket] =>
… All of the creative thinking techniques we teach at Idea Champions are based on the innate capacity of the human mind to make connections, find patterns, and imagine alternatives. … One of these techniques involves using metaphors to give us insight into what our challenge or opportunity really IS under the surface.
… But the human capacity for metaphor-making is more than merely an ability. It's the foundation of thought itself. As psychologist and linguist Stephen Pinker states in his The Stuff of Thought, "Metaphor is so widespread in language that it's hard to find expressions for abstract ideas that are not metaphorical."
… The word "metaphor" comes to us from the Greek and means to "transfer" or "carry over." … "Transfer or carry over what?" you may ask.
… "An image," is the answer.
… A metaphor is both an image that is carried over to help us understand a thought AND the bridge upon which it is carried over.
… And what does this bridge of metaphor connect? It connects the right brain, which deals in images, to the left brain, which deals in rational thought.
… Is that cool or what?
… In a new Harvard Business Press book, Marketing “Metaphoria: What Deep Metaphors Reveal about the Minds of Consumers”, Gerald and Lindsay Zaltman, a father and son marketing team, reveal seven basic deep metaphors, -- "metaphors that structure what we think, hear, say, and do" that should help guide marketing efforts to connect with consumers.
… These seven deep ("deep" because they are largely unconscious) and universal metaphors are:
… 1. Balance
… 2. Transformation
… 3. Journey
… 4. Container
… 5. Connection
… 6. Resource
… 7. Control
… If your marketing campaign [or ANY written document, intended for other people] isn't offering your prospective customers at least one of these qualities, your prospective customers probably aren't connecting emotionally to your product or service. Which means they're probably not buying it. Egads!
… Does your [written document, intended for other people, or] product or service help customers regain their balance? Can it transform something into something better? Does it provide them with the experience of a journey or give them a container? Does it help them connect with others, provide a necessary resource, or give greater control over something?
… Bottom line: if you want to improve your marketing efforts [or want to improve ANY written document], you could do a lot worse than invest a few bucks and a little time to study what the Zaltmans are saying.
… Once you're clear about what you want to offer your customers [or want to improve ANY written document] on a deep metaphorical level, you can then craft your pitch, offering, or strategy in a more meaningful way.
… That is, you can cross that bridge when you come to it.

… Please See This 3 Inches Below => Located In The ONE Sentence That Has Following Words => A Metaphor Is,

F) Please Study The Following From Writings Of Owen Barfield. Since These Are |Important & Useful Ways Of Thinking About The Topic Of => Metaphor. (*metaph*)
… See Especially Last 4 Paragraphs, In The Following:
… … HoMphrFn: “A metaphor is, of course, a form of figurative language in which an unknown, or lesser known, term is expressly compared to a better known term in order that the latter may illuminate the former.” … “A true understanding of metaphor--as Owen Barfield insists throughout his writings (for the nature of metaphor is one of his key subjects)—“must evoke the entire evolution of consciousness and requires, in particular, a concomitant understanding of the meaning of literal.”
… "In order to have a metaphor," Barfield explains in Speaker's Meaning,” you must begin by being aware of at least two meanings--two meanings, or sets of meanings, which however vague and ill defined they may be in themselves, are not vague, but sharply distinguished from one another; first the lexical, or normal, meaning and, secondly, the speaker's meaning which you now intend the word or phrase "figuratively" to bear. In order therefore to perform the deliberate act of making the outer become a 'vehicle" of the inner, you must first have a word with an exclusively outer meaning. “ [skipping several paragraphs]
… Always anxious to refute the tenets of his contemporaries the linguistic analysts, Barfield observes in his book "The Meaning of 'Literal'. " that => “There is a school of thought which holds that the tenor [ie he subject of the metaphor and its intended meaning] of a meaningful metaphor could always, if it were thought fit, be expressed literally. [such as] The passenger in the vehicle could, if he chose, get out and walk. If it were not so, these thinkers [who have variously written on the topic of metaphor] hold, the [metaphor’s] tenor would not deserve the name of "meaning" at all; it would amount to no more than an emotional overtone.

[NOTE: In The Following 4 Paragraphs, Owen Barfield Says It Near Best For Henry Gurr, Who Adds Maroon Color Plus Underlines => For Your Especial Attention =>

By Owen Barfield: What Is The Meaning Of Metaphor ] (*metaph*)
… MAROON ”In fact something quite different is taking place in metaphoric language: => When we use language metaphorically; we bring it about of our own free will that an appearance means something other than itself, and usually, that a manifest "means" an unmanifest., We start with an idol, and we ourselves turn the idol into a representation. We use the phenomenon as a "name" for what is not phenomenal. And this . . . is just what is characteristic of participation. [[NOTE: Barfield’s words “idol”, “representation”, “phenomenon”, “participation”, & “consciousness” each refer to topics which he discusses at length in his various books, especially “Saving The Appearances” Ask me in an email HenryG__USCA.edu, if you want to know more.]
… MAROON Because "metaphor involves a tension between two ostensibly incompatible meanings;" it involves as well "a tension between that part of ourselves which experiences the incompatibles as a mysterious unity and that part which remains well able to appreciate their duality and their incompatibility:" "Without the former" we would do well to recall; "metaphor is nonsense language; but without the latter it is not even language" (RM 30).
… "A good, a wise, a true metaphor" Barfield insists in his book "Dream Myth and Philosophical Double Vision" "is not just a device for lobbing us abruptly out of ordinary into a-consciousness; out of time into eternity,; out of the communicable into the ineffable:" Rather, MAROON the true metaphor afford[s] us a vision of some particular intermediate stage between the two extremes of the continuum: It trains us in the tensive and laborious problem of adding extraordinary consciousness to ordinary consciousness: It is likely, then, to become more rather than less unpopular with those who are primarily interested in short cuts to bliss. Intermediate stages are not their portion.

H) HoMphrFn: Owen Barfield’s Book “Poetic Diction” , Gives These Illuminating Passages => (*metaph*) These passages were selected by HSG, because they (based on Mr. Barfield‘s own direct observations, show the kind of mental results that confirm & support “Henry Gurr’s Theory Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”:
Page 55 Chapter “Effects of Poetry”.
… At the end of the last section a distinction was drawn between poetry as the cause of immediate pleasure (the subject of the three preceding sections) and 'poetry as a possession'. What, then, is meant by poetry as a possession? To some extent in all the examples, but especially in No. V, I am impressed not merely by the difference between my consciousness and the consciousness of which they are the expression, but by something more. I find that, in addition to the moment or moments of aesthetic pleasure in appreciation, I gain from them a more permanent boon. It is as though my own consciousness had actually been expanded. In V(a), for example, the image contains so much truth and beauty that henceforth the eyes with which I behold real boats and waves and swans, the ears with which in the right mood I listen to a song, are actually somewhat different.
… Now my normal everyday experience, as human being, of the world around me depends entirely on what I bring to the sense-datum from within; and the absorption of this metaphor into my imagination has enabled me to bring more than I could before. It has created something in me, a faculty or a part of a faculty, enabling me to observe what I could not hitherto observe. This ability to recognize significant resemblances and analogies, considered as in action, I shall call knowledge; considered as a state, and apart from the effort by which it is imparted and acquired, I shall call it wisdom. The elements in poetic diction which must conduce to it are, as we shall see, metaphor and simile.
Page 63 Chapter “Metaphor”.
… The most conspicuous point of contact between meaning and poetry, is metaphor. For one of the first things that a student of etymology even quite an amateur student discovers for himself is that every modern language, with its thousands of abstract terms and its nuances of meaning and association, is apparently nothing, from beginning to end, but an unconscionable tissue of dead, or petrified, metaphors.
Page 88 Chapter “Meaning and Myth”.
… we find it [an ability] operative in individual poets, enabling them to intuit relationships which their fellows have forgotten … relationships which they must now express as metaphor. Reality, once self-evident, and therefore not conceptually experienced, but which can now only be reached by an effort of the individual mind. This is what is contained in a true poetic metaphor; and every metaphor is 'true' only in so far as it contains such a reality, or hints at it. These early [metaphoric] meanings, which appear in the world [are] without individualized poetic effort. Figure and figurative, on the other hand as long as we disentangle them carefully in our minds from the modern expression 'figure of speech', may justly be applied, owing to the perceptual or aesthetic, the pictorial, form in which these unitary meanings first manifest in consciousness. Not an empty 'root meaning to shine', but the same definite spiritual reality which was beheld on the one hand in what has since become pure human thinking; and on the other hand, in what has since become physical light; not an abstract conception, but the echoing footsteps of the goddess Natura not a metaphor but a living Figure.
Page 112 Chapter “The Making Of Meaning (I)”.
… Now, apart from the actual invention of new words (an art in which many poets have excelled), the principal means by which this creation of meaning is achieved isas has already been pointed out metaphor. But it must be remembered that any specifically new use of a word or phrase is really a metaphor, since it attempts to arouse cognition of the unknown by suggestion from the known. I will take an example: the painter's expression point of view was a metaphor the first time it was used (probably by Coleridge) with a psychological content. This content is today one of its accepted meanings indeed, it is the most familiar one but it could only have become so after passing, explicitly or implicitly, through the earlier stage of metaphor. In other words, either Coleridge or somebody else either said or thought (I am of course putting it a little crudely) 'x is to the mind what point of view is to an observer of landscape'. And in so doing he enriched the content of the expression 'point of view' just as Shakespeare enriched the content of 'balm' (and of 'sleep', too) when he called sleep the 'balm of hurt minds' ('sleep is to hurt minds what balm is to hurt bodies'). Reflection will show that the 'new' use of an epithet that is to say, its application to a substantive with which it has not hitherto been couple this also a concealed metaphor.
Page 113 Chapter “The Making Of Meaning (I)”.
… In the present chapter I shall attempt to trace a single, predominantly 'literary' example of the continuous creation of meaning in the above sense.
… [And in the next 14 pages Mr. Barfield shows how the Germanic word “ruo”, was over centuries, gradually changed and changed and changed, to our modern concept to “ruin”. And each step of the way The Human Ability Of Metaphor was required and operative! ]

METAPHOR IN VARIATION Page 200
…metaphors in nature manifest themselves as evocative metaphor to us who are with attentive eyes to see. Such objective ostensive metaphor tells us that life is larger than logic, defies logic, and our logic had better follow and be tutored by life to conform to it and metaphor shows the way. Metaphor is the way that ferries us over to life. But how? Again, metaphor, as synecdoche-syn+ekdochesthai, taking (one thing) with something else, taking part for whole is the answer.
Metaphor as Synecdoche (Pars Pro Toto)
Every expression and metaphor is one least distorting of the world mess described above begins to metaphor us to some sort of perception-of-sense. To describe the mess as "confusion" identifies confusion as such, to begin lining us to con-fusion, living fittingly, in fusion, in tune, with this confusion, reverting ourselves back home to our primal cosmic state, what Chuang Tzu called Hun Tun," a blurred hotchpotch of all with/in all.
Now, making expressive sense, metaphor facilitates cosmic-onto- logical homecoming. To borrow Confucius' expression, metaphor "threads through" situational irrationals "into one", cohering them into various composing elements of "my" cosmic "Tao". How? The above description of our confusion both about the Christian faith and about causality-thinking exhibits how metaphor threads. Each description has metaphorical involvement three times.
1. In the Christian faith, we saw this first senselessness of metaphorical inference as the familiar Bible narrative, so the unfamiliar sense- less suffering. From God's Bethel-partiality to hoodlum Jacob we metaphorically understand how Jesus loves hoodlum sinners; how Jesus' parables of the Kingdom work, and how Jesus himself is the Parable. Our such understanding metaphorically leads us to loving Jesus amidst all senseless suffering and our continually unanswered

What is mоге interesting is апother alternative possibility. What if the human self is awakened back to itself? This is what Mencius meant by one's own Baby's Heart.
Thus if luckily I return to my integrity, I begin to expand my knowledge of my not-me. Now, knowledge is knowing something unknown before, something novel, outside of my familiar milieu. Knowing something new means initially to understand, to digest, the strange in terms of the familiar, bit by bit. Then, my milieu of familiar things known, and then my familiar categories expand and change out of familiar shape and characteristics. My new knowledge breaks down familiar terms and milieus. My familiar cityscape no longer exists. As I breathe in the new cityscape of knowledge, as I digest the strangely new into my fold, my familiar fold comes to be gradually "digested" by the new now turned strangely familiar.
All this twofold process of knowledge-digestion is metaphor. I now grow from the adult stage of "myself as another" (Ricoeur) to the post-adult stage of "another as myself", that is, "myself as another as myself as another...", in other words, the primal oceanic baby- hood. Here, in undergoing the other as myself, I undergo myself as myself.
4. How do I expand myself by going back to myself? How does my Primal Baby return to that Oceanic Feeling of all in all? By the mutuality of adult selves as metaphors. I am a metaphor that expands endlessly from one purview to another. A specific metaphor is a direction in which to stretch myself beyond what I know and am. This is how my place and milieu of experience grows. A metaphor highlights some aspects of actuality as it hides others. To critically juxtapose one metaphor with another makes explicit what is missed. in the milieu of a specific metaphor. We can then adjust and expand a specific metaphorical horizon to accommodate what is missed, increasing the implications of the purview of a specific metaphor.
Critiques of metaphors enriches and enhances all metaphors mutually criticized. Skinner's pigeon-metaphor (stimulus-response), say, is

METAPHOR IN VARIATION 208
…fences, sieves and categories as we do every night as we go to bed is the Bliss of the Milieu beyond all milieus.
And this reaching-beyond-and-back is effected by metaphor. We practice it innately, instinctively, and spontaneously at every moment of our living, from day to day, to make our life, history, community, culture, and religion.
In sum, our growth and maturation, our very maturity, consists in coming back home to our pristine baby-self, as we do every night in sleep, where we are at one with all in all, where we enjoy our primal world of the original Baby. That is maturity, culture, religion. This coming back that is a going beyond our separative world of particularities, in our categorial common sense, is the working together of many metaphors. Metaphors at work compose the trans- versal universe of plurality of cultures and religions in the making. Various metaphors mutually and critically complemented constitute our growth. This complementation is "communication" in which metaphors actively engage. Yet inter-complementation may breed relativism. We must see how relativism positively enhances metaphor.

Metaphor and Relativism
We could take relativism (R) to be (a denial) of absolutism (A). And we end up treating R as an adjunct of A, in terms of A, as a negative version of A. We lose sight of R itself."

…{+interpreting metaphor effectively subsumes, thereby suffocates, metaphor's "moving" under the decently assured unmoved universals. It is metaphor's tantalizing probability that incites scientific research.
Both Hobbes and Locke faulted metaphor precisely on this deceptive vagueness of the probable. Hobbes said, +}

Similarly, Locke said,

Both Hobbes and Locke preferred "dry truth" to "deceptive metaphor". They did not know that "deception" is an allurement of/to the fresh truth. Without risky boldness of metaphor we cannot advance to truth out of its stale dryness. Careful scholar Hu Shih characterized the scientific method with his celebrated quip, "Dare to speculate; take care to demonstrate" (ta tan chia she; hsiao hsin ch'iu cheng). "Carefully demonstrate" is impossible, cannot even get started, without "daringly hypothesize", which is a daring metaphoric leap into a wild connection of the hitherto unconnected and unconnectable.
This uncharted novelty is inherently attended mixed with deceptions; what else do we expect? Novel truth and deception come bundled un together and delivered to us in/bv metaphor. Metaphor

This uncharted novelty is inherently attended mixed with deceptions; what else do we expect? Novel truth and deception come bundled up together and delivered to us in/by metaphor. Metaphor is the package and the delivery. Careful demonstration then ensues to sift the chaff of deception for genuine novel truth. Without this package and delivery of metaphor, there would be neither careful demonstration nor sober novel truth. To downgrade metaphor as Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan, Part I, Chapter 4, Section 34.

Hobbes and Locke did for fear of risking deception is to throw out the bathtub of metaphor with the baby of truth therein, vainly intending to throw away only the water of deception.
Deception" here is etymologically synonymous with "fallacy". The fallacy of undistributed middle has been considered, as in "Metaphor as Mistake and Change" in A.I. Let us briefly rehearse it. There are fallacies and there are fallacies. "Stale pretzel is better than nothing.

Bottom of Page 214
…some sense", aiming at turning "in some sense" into "in some significant sense". But "significance" is something extra-logical, notoriously experiential, experimental. That is, significance is synonymous with "impact", that "wound" sustained by a "good poem" that Robert Frost talked about. The pretzel-metaphor gives us a laugh, while the dream-metaphor makes us think. And so the former is less significant than the latter. And yet, as long as significance comes with experiential impact, perhaps our experience later may qualify us to receive the impact of significance from the pretzel-metaphor as well. Nobody knows. Metaphor is notoriously experiential, open-ended.
One last important point. We have been considering not argument but attitude. The exclusivist attitude cornered Parmenides and Zeno into rejecting movement. Life is movement, and to move at all means for us to leave "here" as we go into the alien "not-here". We call it "entering". But entering is a contradiction, here-as-going- not-here, here-and-not-here, from the perspective of identity principle. We need a logic of identity that includes feeds on contradiction. 4. And so, four points can be raised.
One, most Western thinkers" assume, even tacitly, that the rational is the logical, being not logical is being irrational and arbitrary. For truth is universally one, excluding other views as false. All this follows from an absolute, unquestioned assumption that the law of excluded middle-A is not non-A-universally applies. Given this …

METAFOR AND RELATIVISM 215
…cultural assumption, "relativism" is a dirty word. Most Western thinkers do not know that such view describes a specific culture, which gets in the way when studying other cultures." Cultural chauvinism results unawares.
Two, in this context, we can learn much from the classical logical positivists who were unabashedly clear and explicit on the difference the factually and logically dichotomizable verifiable vs. unverifiable, meaningful vs. nonsensical and the not-so-dichotomizable. At their unexamined naïveté we smile but, then, so should we smile at our- selves if we still naively assume that logicality, rationality, and sense are synonymous. Never should we be cultural-logical positivists, taking the not-logical as the senseless, irrational, and arbitrary. Life- sentiment "common sense" in a culture is sensible beyond logic.
Three, Mind you, however. Logic is not useless just because it should not so bind us as to blind us. For life is larger than logic, which is our heuristic tool ("organon", says Aristotle) of/for sense, a handy sounding rod (a) to find sense, wherever it is, in whatever sense, whatever culture, and (b) see the different internal coherence of respective senses in respective cultures. Logic itself should be completely open in its sense-explorations, especially on defining "truth", "rightness", "sense". Logic should thereby (c) serve as rules for inter-cultural traffic. As with car traffic, so with intercultural one. Traffic rules are made to broken (on pain of courting accidents) sensibly, in the inter-car traffic. And "sensibility" here is intercultural-metaphorical beyond the traffic rules of logic, logically indefensible. This observation leads to the last point.
Four, sense (of culture) combined with logic makes "metaphor" for interculture to make sense of life. The logic of metaphor makes sense of culture, to understand another culture begins (to) interculture, and that "another culture" is our own in the light of that other culture of our neighbor's. All this is metaphor at work. Metaphor culture . ...

METAPHOR AND RELATIVISM 217
…its peculiar speculative atmosphere by opposing speculative Buddhism. Relativism claims that all this is as it should be.
This exchange with the other, the not-me, this movement of relativism that is unintelligible in the logic of exclusivistic identity, explains how metaphor works. Relativism's radical acceptance of incompatibles, contraries, and contradictories is what spurs the process of metaphor on toward something uncomfortably novel and syn- thetically alien, contrary to our accustomed lifestyle and ways of perceiving things, "culture". Relativism is thus a powerful rationale for cultural interaction, interculturalism (so-called "cultural relativism" minus its unjustified connotation of opprobrium), and metaphor is its effective indispensable medium. Metaphor is relativism concretely at work, its modus operandi.
Now that we have looked squarely at relativism at the base of metaphor, we are in a better position to reflect on how metaphor as the medium of relativism implicates intercultural learning. And this is the theme of Bundle B.
It is time to take stock. This Bundle A, however tottering, has portrayed metaphor and its hermeneutics. We find metaphor to be an inborn dehiscence beyond itself to novelty. Since dehiscent discovery of novelty is in contrast to familiar notions and frames, and familiars make up our culture, metaphor must go beyond our own culture to turn intercultural. Bundle A of metaphor-hermeneutics inevitably leads to Bundle B, culture-hermeneutics of metaphor. A portrayal of "metaphor" (A) is now to be explicated in "metaphor as intercultural" (B), then concretely exemplified in "metaphor" at work "as intercultural way" (C).

B. METAPHOR AS INTERCULTURAL 219 Note Barfield below.?
The Link
"All is trope", (John Hollander) to turn, to ferry,' to "cross" in meaning (Bloom). Freud gives us psychoanalysis of how we feel in mind- working, as a "science of tropes, of metaphors and its variants, synecdoche and metonymy". We live in metaphor, "participation" (Barfield) of awareness in links in representations ever re-presenting. We dance in tropes, turning, crossing the meaning-gaps between topics, regenerating more tropes. Trope-as-all plunges all into deconstructionism, killing Plato's "Third Man".
What does all this mean? We cannot stay put in grammar and dictionary, the depository of our accepted canon of intelligibility, for none survives tedium of platitudes they generate. To "make a point" we must use grammar and dictionary afresh, i.e., use them in a fresh. way. Rules are made to be stretched, even to their breaking point, to express (new) experience. And to live is to grow, from crib to grave, to stretch accepted intelligibility to novelty, which turns around to renovate accepted intelligibility. Such two-way traffic of stretching/ turning is "metaphor", a trial in error, learning from which corrects convention that condemns error. No metaphor, no error; no error, no progress. Convention of intelligibility is "culture". Stretching it to novelty is by stretching to other cultures. Metaphor is this intercutural stretch. This is the theme of the Bundle B.

…Why do we have to have inter-learning among cultures? Does culture have anything to do with metaphor? Isn't it far-fetched to consider cultural inter-learning when considering metaphor? Why does metaphor have to be intercultural at all?
Responding to above questions makes up this Bundle B. Our answer is that intercultural learning is inherently necessitated by (1) the nature of metaphor and (2) of life vicissitudes, for (3) metaphor points to being as inter-being. We must develop these triple themes, then integrate them.
To begin with, metaphor by nature urges inter-learning among cultures. This thesis can be explained by the following three points. First, as a logic of discovery, metaphor is at the crossroads of con- vergence and divergence. As a "logic", metaphor collects into itself knowledge digested, i.e., taken account of. This is convergence. As a logic "of discovery", metaphor diverges from itself to open out into unsuspected novelty. This is divergence. In such diastole and systole of dialectic advancement to new knowledge, metaphor shapes itself into a systematic pattern of perceiving and dealing with things with a definite direction. We call this dehiscent advancement "learning". Secondly, metaphors cluster into a pattern of perceiving called "culture", as expressions cluster into a pattern called "language". This pattern, cultural or linguistic, continues to freely and flexibly digests, then produces and expresses, the novel in a specific style and syntax. Such meta-metpahor, as any metaphor, emphasizes some aspects and neglects some others. As some expressions in one language catch an aspect of actuality untranslatable into another, one culture capitalizes on some aspects that another culture does not even understand. Thus the "same" notion can mean differently in …

Page 221 Bottom
…means "understandable in terms of A". Translation and understanding must stretch A beyond itself, renovating it, revolutionizing it, even overhauling it. Thus is "progress" in "inter-learning". Owen Barfield says,

But then, by this time, culture-A is no longer the original A, now reconstructed and enriched. A has learned, progressed, grown.
Let us see how all this happens. First, adopted by a community by and by, a cluster of metaphors build themselves into a pattern/ paradigm to elucidate one aspect of actuality and direct our attention there, diverting us from elsewhere. We now have a collective, communal and historical meta-metaphor to dwell in to shape a distinctive lifestyle, a culture. "Meta-metaphor" is an atmosphere, redolent of metaphors in all ages, that sets the tenor and manner of all our metaphoring in it. That is ethos, "culture". This is a convergence-aspect of the metaphor process, at a meta-level of culture.
Then, metaphor is a dynamics of divergence/dehiscence to novelty. Culture the meta-metaphor "instinctively" reaches out to other culture, other modes of learning-intending to collect-shape the world and ourselves. Our culture pushes itself out to other cultures for our self- renovation, often to/by internal revolution. Thus unpleasant "culture ….

…shock" is a thrust built into meta-metaphor, an integral thrust of our cultural life breathing toward new knowledge inter-learning. This is the first connection, an internal one, between metaphor and inter- culture. Metaphor is intercultural because of itself.
Another intrinsic connection is an external ambience of metaphor, "life-actuality", life-world, a series of surprise eruptions. New situations constantly emerge to force us to pick up a new metaphor, i.e., new grammar/frame to understand and deal with them. Or rather, situational exigencies arouse new metaphor to seek us out and pick us up, to catch-reshape our mode of capturing/changing/shaping the situation. We live by metaphor change. Being out of it, we remain in a set life-style to extinction. No learning stops life.
For our set ways of life, our old metaphor-system of culture to deal with things cannot cope with life-vicissitudes, i.e., eruptions of aspects of actuality unexpected by our old comfortable culture. They make unpleasant surprises, demanding attention our old culture is unprepared for. Life consists thus in demands of paradigm/metaphor- shift, culture revolution. The Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution in Europe, the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the May Fourth Movement in China, are some historical examples.
Today is the Age of the Global Village, where cultures jostle at close quarters. The closeness is a crisis and an opportunity. It is a crisis because we instinctively resent difference, especially basic cultural differences. We want either to hide ourselves from the differences or fight them or both. And our very conflict shows an opportunity, for at no time in history do we have an easier access to intercultural learning, to inter-enrich via cultural-metaphorical shift. …
Our communal metaphor-pattern that metaphors us to the novel is "culture", in which we tend to be trapped. To be jolted out of cultural rut, the handiest way is to confront other meta-metaphors.

METAPHOR AND CONVERSATION 249
…a thinker, beckoning them to execute the form and content of the tree. And so on.
Collingwood may not have realized, however, that such question and answer in conversation inevitably transforms the nature of both the question and the answer, as the Socratic Dialogues amply show. Socrates characterized his conversation, by saying that he was him- self as much stupefied by his questioning as the person who was questioned.
Now the morphology of this mutual metamorphosis in conversation is "metaphor". Metaphor is a process of our interaction with the unfamiliar. The process continues to turn the alien unfamiliar into a new familiar by the old familiar, thereby turning the old familiar into something new by the new familiar. This shuttle of inter-change is "conversation", an ontological inter-conversing. Thus metaphor is the dynamic physiognomy of conversation. For conversation challenges the unfamiliar other with a question out of curiosity. The question initiates a quest and exploration; always with the familiar as a heuristic paradigm to be soon enriched and changed as the explorer digests the unfamiliar with the help of the conversant. And then the process is reversed on the other side. The conversation partner does the same, and the converse interaction takes place. This is conversation via metaphor. Metaphor is an intercultural way in world- wide conversation, a dynamo of the progress and concord of world civilization.

ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD IN METAPHOR 251
…ontologically grow in the same feeling and prehensive way as I do. Feeling and prehension describe a dynamic processive metaphysics.
Thus each actual entity resonates/pulsates with others, tending outside to change inside. Entity differs from nonentity in that only entity feels inside as it prehends outside and prehends as it feels. "Prehension" is a good umbrella term to "grasp" (and perhaps to "gather"), as we say that covers physical (ap)prehension and conceptual (com)prehension.
Whitehead used "feeling" as a technical term for "the basic generic operation of passing from the objectivity of data to the subjectivity of actual entity". Objective data "pass" to "the subjectivity of the actual entity" by passing from object-grasping prehension to subject- receptive feeling. We usually balk at emotional and conscious overtone of "feeling" as we expand the term into universal ontological description. Whitehead handles our hesitation metaphorically, as follows. First, he takes "feeling" to designate our indubitably felt state of affairs by citing Descartes.

It is in this felt manner that

Page 252
NOTE: Henry Gurr’s Explanation How Our Mind Works. agrees with Whitehead all below the words The principle ?

Whitehead here does not shy away from using emotional terms such as "emotional complex" and "satisfaction" (41), "emotional subjective form", and "emotional sensitivity" (42). Objectively, the result is an integral "system"; subjectively, it is an internal "constitution".
But "feeling" seems to be related to consciousness; how can feeling be stretched to cover every actual entity, sentient and non-sentient, in the universe? Whitehead solves this problem by saying,
The principle I am adopting is that consciousness presupposes experience, and not experience consciousness. Thus an actual entity may, or may not, be conscious of some part of its experience. Its experience is its complete formal constitution, including its consciousness, if any. Thus, in Locke's phraseology, its ideas of particular things' are those other things exercising their function as felt components of its constitution.65 In this passage, Whitehead does two things. One, "experience" is widened to mean "formal constitution" of an actual entity, that is, "other things exercising their function as felt components of its constitution". Experience is none other than consitutive ingression in general. Then, two, he takes "consciousness" to presuppose experience. In other words, consciousness is part of experience defined widely as above, which thus can happen without consciousness. Since experience is experience of felt prehension, feeling can happen with- out consciousness.
But then, what about the emotional overtone in "feeling"? Whitehead boldly declares: emotion is a subjective form of prehension, appreciative and purposive, and different from sensation, saying that "subjective ways of feeling" do not receive data as "alien" but "clothe dry bones with the flesh of a real being, emotional, purposive, appreciative". Whitehead elaborates on it this way:
The primitive form of physical experience is emotional... [it] is sympathy, that is, feeling the feeling in another and feeling conformally with another. [In] "the stone as green",... 'green' [is] the qualifying character of an emotion.... Also feeling and reference to an exterior

…His [Whitehead] other "technical terms" are all such live "metaphors mutely appealing for an imaginative leap"," which sums up the process of metaphysical ingestion ("ingression") of outside data. Whitehead elaborates on it graphically as "like the flight of an aeroplane".
It starts from the ground of particular observation; it makes a flight in the thin air of imaginative generalization; and it again lands for renewed observation rendered acute by rational interpretation. The reason for the success of this method of imaginative rationalization is that, when the method of difference fails, factors which are constantly present may yet be observed under the influence of imaginative thought. Such thought supplies the differences which the direct observation lacks. It can even play with inconsistency; and can thus throw light on the consistent, and persistent, elements in experience by comparison with what in imagination is inconsistent with them."
This beautiful prose on "imaginative construction" shows two points. One, this "flight" describes our cognitive ingestion of outside data, our dynamics of prehensively "feeling" them, to enrich our "actual entity", as it were, of philosophical understanding. Two, the entire description is imbued with concrete imaginative metaphors. In fact, "imagination" and "imaginative" appear many times. Our philosophical understanding is an imaginative operation in mute metaphors. For example, ordinary terms such as "interesting", "appetition,", "satisfaction", and "patience" in their daily meanings are deepened with technical connotations. Conversely, technical terms such as "propositions" are enlivened with flesh-and-blood situational implications and become "data for (propositional) feeling". His entire cosmology resonates/pulsates with concrete metaphors from ordinary and literary languages.

Page 255
…In Whitehead the metaphoric and the systematic inter-constitute without mutually interfere. This is quite an accomplishment if we remember how in Dewey and Russell the metaphoric tends to dec- orate the systematic, while in Santayana the metaphoric tends to interfere with the systematic." Whitehead's greatness lies in sympathetically explicating and elucidating daily flesh-and-blood terms in technical depths, and then systematically pulling them together into a coherent description of communal nexus of "processes" that continually concresce, to compose a concrete" cosmology of "reality". In Whitehead's own words,+}

This description can hardly be improved upon.
We must never forget that both "feeling" and "prehension" as technical terms are themselves metaphors. Competent Whitehead interpreters are legion. Unfortunately, few are sensitive to this concrete metaphorical aspect constitutive of his exposition, on pain of rendering Whitehead's system grossly un-Whiteheadian, if not anti- Whiteheadian," because this move turns the system into an irrelevance to complex ambiguous actuality. Whitehead-scholasticism today cuts ….
All this merely illustrates the pervasive metaphorical quality of his lively "technical" cosmology. In fact, he characterizes his system as "the philosophy of organism" which "seems to approximate more to some strains of Indian, or Chinese, thought, than to western Asiatic, or European, thought. One side makes process ultimate; the other side makes fact ultimate". He admitted that "the more we know of Chinese art, of Chinese literature, and of the Chinese philosophy of life, the more we admire the heights to which that civilisation attained" (Science and the Modern World, NY: Macmillan, 1969, p. 6). And the Chinese thinking is suffused with metaphor, as to be seen in C.I., C.III.

…away this concrete vivacity in his systematicity, never bothering to appreciate the fact that Whitehead used metaphors to point to the universal ontological situation of how things come to be and change.
Furthermore, these metaphors explain the operation of "metaphor" itself that is twofold, active and receptive, actively taking in prehending alien elements to digest them, thereby receiving feeling their impact to change the status quo. These two metaphors prehension and feeling point to (metaphor us to) both the way all beings come to be and the hermeneutics of how metaphor works. In doing so, metaphor tells us that it operates universally, everywhere always. It is a joy to read such a vast cosmological exposition.
The problem is how we take the character of the "system" of this cosmology to be. With the plethora" of terms, many mutually synonymous, parading as technical terms, and with categorical explanatory schemata at every turn of the argument in this complex cosmology, Whitehead cannot help but logico-mathematically tempt the unwary on to the road of system-building. Whitehead himself treads a perilous path on the thin line between letting those metaphors from daily living to coherently inter-elucidate, on the one hand, and purposely systematizing them to inter-deduce to compose (concrese into?) an imposing system, on the other. The latter road is temptingly neat and deductive, and was taken to result in Whitehead scholasticism. Paul Ricoeur seems to have sadly trod this road from lived metaphors to complex systems. Mercifully spared (so far) were the following thinkers and their followers of such "ismization" -- W. James, M. Buber, G. Marcel, H. Bergson, M. Merleau-Ponty, J.-P. Sartre, and M. Heidegger, among others, analyzed. They miss Whitehead the solid metaphorical metaphysician behind his mathematics; they are proud of missing it. So are all endless "analytical commentaries ….

But they can be named quite differently and organized quite differently depending on how the knife moves. …"

With a single stroke of analytic thought he split the whole world into parts of his own choosing, split the parts and split the fragments of the parts, finer and finer and finer until he had reduced it to what he wanted it to be. Even the special use of the terms "classic" and "romantic" are examples of his knifemanship. "

He didn’t get whipped. He didn’t work. And the cart of civilization, which he supposedly was being trained to pull, was just going to have to creak along a little slower without him. "
…'' "This is a tragedy, however, only if you presume that the cart of civilization, "the system," is pulled by mules. This is a common, vocational, "location" point of view, but it’s not the Church attitude.
The Church attitude is that civilization, or "the system" or "society" or whatever you want to call it, is best served not by mules but by free men. The purpose of abolishing grades and degrees is not to punish mules or to get rid of them but to provide an environment in which that mule can turn into a free man. '' "
… "The hypothetical student, still a mule, would drift around for a while. He would get another kind of education quite as valuable as the one he’d abandoned, in what used to be called the "school of hard knocks." Instead of wasting money and time as a high-status mule, he would now have to get a job as a low-status mule, maybe as a mechanic. Actually his real status would go up.

Quality is not a thing. It is an event. '' "

"Now he knew it was coming. "

Parent, Give Birth, Copernican Inversion, Cutting Edge:
… " He’d been speculating about the relationship of Quality to mind and matter and had identified Quality as the parent of mind and matter, that event which gives birth to mind and matter. This Copernican inversion of the relationship of Quality to the objective world could sound mysterious if not carefully explained, but he didn’t mean it to be mysterious. He simply meant that at the cutting edge of time, before an object can be distinguished, there must be a kind of nonintellectual awareness, which he called awareness of Quality. You can’t be aware that you’ve seen a tree until after you’ve seen the tree, and between the instant of vision and instant of awareness there must be a time lag. We sometimes think of that time lag as unimportant, But there’s no justification for thinking that the time lag is unimportant—none whatsoever. "

And that engine and all those are never going anywhere except where the track of Quality takes them; and romantic Quality, the leading edge of the engine, takes them along that track. Romantic reality is the of experience. It’s the leading edge of knowledge that keeps the whole train on the track. Traditional knowledge is only the collective memory of where that leading edge has been. At the leading edge there are no subjects, no objects, only the track of Quality ahead, and if you have no formal way of evaluating, no way of acknowledging this Quality, then the entire train has no way of knowing where to go. You don’t have pure reason—you have pure confusion. . The leading edge is where absolutely all the action is. The leading edge contains all the infinite possibilities of the future.

This can occur because the saturation point becomes higher as the temperature of the solution is increased. When you dissolve the material at a high temperature and then cool the solution, the material sometimes doesn’t crystallize out because the molecules don’t how. They require something to get them started, a seed crystal, or a grain of dust or even a sudden scratch or tap on the surrounding glass. "

Still others, inexperienced and untrusting, attempt to make their own routes. Few of these are successful, but occasionally some, by sheer will and luck and grace, do make it. Once there they become more aware than any of the others that there’s no single or fixed number of routes. There are as many routes as there are individual souls."
… "I want to talk now about Phædrus’ exploration into the meaning of the term Quality, an exploration which he saw as a route through the mountains of the spirit. As best I can puzzle it out, there were two distinct phases. "

A Huge, Long Railroad Train, Is Analogous To "Knowledge" And Subdivide In Into Two Parts: A) Classic Knowledge [What Is In The Boxcars And B) Romantic Knowledge Which Is The Leading Edge Of The Moving Front Of the Locomotive.
… " In my mind now is an image of one of those 120-boxcar jobs that cross the prairies all the time with lumber and vegetables going east and with automobiles and other manufactured goods going west. I want to call this railroad train "
… " In terms of the analogy, Classic Knowledge, the knowledge taught by the Church of Reason, is the engine and all the boxcars. All of them and everything that’s in them. If you subdivide the train into parts you will find no Romantic Knowledge anywhere. And unless you’re careful it’s easy to make the presumption that’s all the train there is. This isn’t because Romantic Knowledge is nonexistent or even unimportant. It’s just that so far the definition of the train is static and purposeless."
… " Romantic Quality, in terms of this analogy, isn’t any "part" of the train. It’s the leading edge of the engine, a two-dimensional surface of no real significance unless you understand that the train isn’t a static entity at all. A train really isn’t a train if it can’t go anywhere. In the process of examining the train and subdividing it into parts we’ve inadvertently stopped it, so that it really isn’t a train we are examining. That’s why we get stuck."
… " The real train of knowledge isn’t a static entity that can be stopped and subdivided. It’s always going somewhere. On a track called Quality. And that engine and all those 120 boxcars are never going anywhere except where the track of Quality takes them; and romantic Quality, the leading edge of the engine, takes them along that track."
… "Romantic reality is the cutting edge of experience. It’s the leading edge of the train of knowledge that keeps the whole train on the track. Traditional knowledge is only the collective memory of where that leading edge has been. At the leading edge there are no subjects, no objects, only the track of Quality ahead, and if you have no formal way of evaluating, no way of acknowledging this Quality, then the entire train has no way of knowing where to go. You don’t have pure reason—you have pure confusion. "

Using metaphoric writing, and Avoiding gumption traps.” … “Pirsig effectively uses metaphor and simile throughout ... the analogy even approaches that of epic or extended simile.”

2) JOURNAL ARTICLE: “Review: Zen and the Art of Rhetoric.”

Review by: Richard M. Coe
… EXCERPTS => ”Whatever its defects, Robert Pirsig's best-selling “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” is an explicit and serious inquiry into basic issue of rhetorical history and theory. .... [and] by embedding that Chautauqua in the narrative of a journey (the usual , [metaphoric] double journey, simultaneously across the continent and into the self, with the usual [metaphoric].correlation between geographical and spiritual peaks and valleys).”
… “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” may be seen as a book which asks the right rhetorical questions (i.e., those questions which are basic to serious rhetorical theory) even if it does often give the wrong answers. I am using it now as a text in my senior-level course of "Contemporary Rhetorical Theory", not as one of the text, but the book I play the other texts off [against ], test various modes of rhetorical analysis on [comparison], etc. It works very well.”

… EXCERPTS => ” Looking for Parallels In almost every chapter, a metaphorical connection can be made between what is going on in the narrative of the motorcycle journey and in the narrative of Phaedrus’s life and thoughts.”
… “Why does he [Author Robert Pirsig] return to this metaphor, a "handful of sand"? What's it all about? “
… “In setting out the topic for his Chautauqua, the narrator introduces one of several strikingly strong visual-spatial/temporal metaphors that punctuate his narrative. He compares the then-current (circa 1970s) consciousness of his (our) culture to a stream that has gotten out of control and is overflowing its channels, causing destruction and havoc ... "There are eras of human history (he writes) in which the channels of thought were too deeply cut and no change was possible, and nothing new ever happened, and 'best' was a matter of dogma, but that is not the situation now. Now the stream of our common consciousness seems to be obliterating its own banks, losing its central direction and purpose . . . Some channel deepening seems to be called for"

4) “On Quality: A critical reading of Robert M. Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila.”

From Abstract =>
… [This] “ … thesis focus upon an examination of Pirsig's conception of Quality in the light of philosophical histories and Deconstruction and include a detailed discussion of whether all forms of writing are, by definition, both creative and rhetorical. Investigation is also made into elements of Zen Buddhism and Taoism in relation to Quality and Post-Structuralism.
“In many ways, I have tried to remain close to the creative style of writing about philosophy that Robert M. Pirsig uses in both Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance and Lila. Pirsig's technique of introducing complex ideas via everyday description and metaphor, was a significant part of what attracted me to his novels to begin with. Much of the energy in Pirsig's work emerges from his practice of disclosing ideas and then allowing these same thoughts to disseminate in the mind of the reader.” …
EXCERPTS =>
… The complete realization that all truths, values and metaphysical elements are no more than man-made illusions, constructed out of 'a mobile army of metaphors, metonymies and anthropomorphisms.'"(190) "It is within the embrace of reflexivity that we are able to utilize processes of indirect communication, such as irony, fictions and pseudonymous inventions," says a young man who is sitting on the floor of the pub reading a script of Ingmar Bergman's film The Seventh Seal. "We can use reflexivity to make visible the leap of faith towards an ideal no matter how absurd or contradictory these claims may be." …
… "Herein lies the drift of my reference to Quality as the intuitive uncovering of that which is hidden," it's the motorcyclist. "However, the reflexive paradox is evident from the outset because that which is uncovered will no longer be hidden. Yet it is through signs - the created elements of the human condition, which tell us about something other than themselves - that the world is made apparent. Although the status of the sign remains obscure because of its own reflexive character, the sign makes available the resources we have at our disposal for interpreting the world. However, in announcing the world to us, the sign also announces itself, and instead of merely indicating Quality, it becomes synonymous with Quality. This misunderstanding resides in the assumption that Quality can be explained through language; it is rather through both indirect communication and poetry that the abyss of reflexivity can be embraced and a faith in Quality can be accepted. The incorporation of reflexivity into the rhetorical elements of explaining Quality will not explain Quality, or reflexivity for that matter, but may perhaps indicate the essential character of the poetic language within which Quality is to be explained. It is within the collapsing of representation which reflexivity motivates, that one is able to catch a glimpse of Quality through the potential of poetic language." “

NOTE: Author Hornsby works hard at his Thesis, and has good discussions of Robert Pirsig’s use of Metaphor. However, there are many parts that have poor writing and are hard to understand or have scattered failure to achieve coherence.

5) “Metaphoric Methodology Makes Meaning.”

Introduction =>
… “How do we interpret signals of meaning and perceived value in the designed environment? And how can language reach the hospitality in our imaginations? “
… “This observation explores the premise of a values-based form of communication – a metaphoric methodology – and its ability to influence our interpretation of brands, products, experiences, and knowledge.”
… EXCERPTS => “We hardly realize our daily lives’ dependence on metaphors. They are so handy because they help us interpret ideas by leveraging the previous understandings and associations we hold in our memory banks (by calling it a “bank,” this metaphor helped us understand the complex concept of “memory”). In setting mental reference points, these metaphoric frames quickly create a Subjective, values-oriented point of view. … “
… “After these metaphors appear in our thoughts, our language process begins to articulate our thoughts by generating objects (words, images, things) that express these subjective interpretations. In this sense, Lakoff and Johnson identified metaphor as a conceptual connectivity between our subjective experience of reality and the objects (words, images, things) we use to express it.”
“Finding The Hospitality In Your Imagination.”
… “My initial research curiosity aimed to understand why certain ideas and objects transcend the rational brain and reach the non-rational imagination with seemingly greater perceived value. Metaphors appear to be a conduit of this, explaining why they appear in recurring pattern in the realms of professional communication and design.”
… “In communication and language, metaphors activate, as the poet Jorge Borges called it, “the hospitality in our imaginations” by offering the sense (Subjective values) of the Object in reference. This technique associates Subjective attributes to concepts/objects (words, images, material objects), which can make the concepts/objects both clearer to the rational brain (setting a point of view based on memory bank) and potentially pleasurable to the non-rational brain (embodying values and qualities).”
