NOTE1: Continued From g) Above: For Reasons & Discussion Given In PROPOSITION 3e) Below, (As Well As Mentioned Other Places) => In This Document You Are Currently Reading => Our Brain’s Own Internal Memory, Is Simply Called “Memory” OR “Brain’s Memory.
… ATTENTION1 => Our “Brain’s Memory” or just, “Memory”, should ALWAYS be understood to be FULL Name => Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory .

… (This “Brain’s Memory”, is analogous to your cell phone’s SD Memory Chip, and means the ABILITY TO HOLD (RETAIN), data, photographs, & text strings, and all manner of other “information”, etc. Which at a later time is available for the ReAccess & ReFurbish Cycle. (RRC) )
… Thus this above italicized 11 word name & idea, for “Brain’s Memory”, is a VERY important IDEA, because our brain thus => Simultaneously Solves The On-Coming-Life-Problems, And In The Same Process, Act As A Memory Retrieval, as will also be further discussed in This Document You Are Currently Reading.

… Our Brain’s Neuron-Based Memory, Should Be Clearly Distinguished, From What Could Be Called “Human Remember Ability”. Officially called “Declarative memory”, or sometimes called “Explicit Memory”., which includes the Memory Recall of say =>Names, Poems, Songs, Stories, Data, Charts, Maps, Images, Visualizations, Etc.

ABSTRACT & SUMMARY, FOR THIS WEBPAGE YOU ARE READING NOW =>

… I) Our Ideas, Thoughts, Perceptions, Future Plans, and Automatic, Spontaneous, Mental Arrivals (Similar To Flash Of Insight), That Suddenly Come Into Our Conscious Mind, Most Usefully May Be Considered To Be => Solutions To Life’s Oncoming Problems, Which Mentally Arrive Into Our Conscious Mind, From Spontaneous & Automatic UN-Conscious Brain Processes:
…= ] ''' As Is Observed In Ourselves And Other People, ''' these single (“only-one-at-a-time”), Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solutions (Answers, Thinking, Ideas, Future Plans, Intentions, Body Actions, Etc ), are Spontaneously & Automatically Generated, Constructed, Created, by Our Problem Solving Brain: And if the Solution is of sufficient Quality ( Fitness ), it Mentally Arrives into Our Conscious Mind. [=… These Solutions Always Include => Emotions & Feelings, plus a sense of does one’s body have the mental capacity and physical strength, as well as sense of readiness for action!! In other words => We know if we are mentally clear-eyed, fully competent and mentally & physically tuned, for the task as hand, and if sufficient level of preparedness.
… II) In Addition => Another Spontaneous & Automatic UN-Conscious Brain Processes:, Responding To Sensory Input From Our Ever-Present Surroundings, Generates, Constructs, Creates => Our Everyday Conscious Mental Awareness, What Herein Will Be Called => “Primary Consciousness ''
… AND THIS “Primary Consciousness, Is An Ever Present Mental Model (~”A Theater Stage”), Into Which Appear, The Above Mentioned Solutions To Life’s Oncoming Problems, '' These Are The => Herein Discussed Problem Solution Mental Arrivals, That Suddenly, Automatically, Spontaneously, Come Into Our Primary Conscious Mind.
… And this is an entirely Brain Generated, Constructed, Created, “Mental Model” of our external “real world” surroundings (What’s Out There), and is mostly experienced as vision, and nearly always available. Typically this Brain Generated, Constructed, Created, Primary Consciousness, comes into our awareness, when we wake up in the morning, and continues until we go to sleep at next night. To learn more, 6 Each > Do > Top > Edit > Find > saturation …
…It is a curious fact => To become, & remain Fully Conscious, Alert,& Mentally Ready To Act, our brain requires stimulation repeatedly, such as discussed above). To Read More, Scroll Down To => PROPOSITION 11a) Explanation): Primary Consciousness … This is where you read => Our Primary Consciousness, is a response to stimulation of our external world, arising from our 9 Sensed, & it appears that such Continuous Stimulation is required, for our Primary Coconsciousness to remain running normally.
… (Please also see below, Chart Which Compares Various Authors Own Discussed Types of Consciousness. )

… III) As Is Observed In Ourselves And Other People, And True For Nearly All Of Our Problem Solving Brain Solutions (Answers), These Mental Models Are Generated, Constructed, Created => On the basis of Best or Near Best, (or Optimum Coherence, or Optimal Fit), for what is ”there” or “available”, such as in our surrounding external environment.

… IV) Everyday Example(s) Of => Our Problem Solving Brain’s Automatic, Spontaneous, Generated, Constructed, Created, Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solutions (Answers) =>

… AND this means that ”The Enormous Body Of Research & Writing In The Area Of Gestalt Psychology”, will have much additional insight, into all the topics directly related to Henry Gurr’s “Explanation (Theory) Of How Our Mind Works, '' as are discussed in the TOP EIGHT Blue Links, In The At Left Main Menu.

… V) As Is Observed In Ourselves And Other People => The Above-Mentioned “Solutions”, A) thru H), That Mentally Arrive Into Our Conscious Mind, From Automatic, Spontaneous, UN-Conscious Brain Processes, Are Observed To Come Into Conscious Mind, In The Same Way, And Same Brain Machinery & Actions, As Are Used For => The Flash Of Insight, And Other Similar Mental Arrival Events.
…And these (“only-one-at-a-time”) automatic spontaneous Mental Arrival Solutions (Answers) => Are remarkably free of contradictions, inconsistencies, errors, non-factual data, and other spurious ideas or conclusions.
… These (“only-one-at-a-time”) Solutions (Answers, Thoughts, Ideas, Conclusions, Intentions, Behavior, Etc … with accompanying Future Plans, Emotions & Feelings, etc …. are generally Immediate, Whole, Clear, Understandable, and Full Of Meaning (such as in poetry or metaphor)
…. Immediately present with any one Mental Arrival Solution, ((Depending on circumstances)), ''Arrives' into Conscious Mind, usually one the following ~awareneses => Connotation, Essence, Implication, Interpretation, Nuance, Sense, Significance, Substance, Understanding, Value, Quality, Acceptation, Allusion, Bearing, Denotation, Intimation, Point, Purport, Import, etc. Or just simply Meaning.
… But NOW, finally with the “achievement” mentioned in the BELOW Blue Link, => I Henry Gurr CLEARLY SEE THE FULL conclusion is that => Nearly ALL Mental Arrivals Are Generally Immediate, Whole, Complete, Clear, Understandable AND FULL OF MEANING, Such As In Poetry Or Metaphor.
….By the clear evidence seen, in the discussion (In this Blue Link >> Where I Ever So Gradually, Finally Fully Achieved A Full Realization, Of A VERY Important Idea (Concerning MEANING),
…Only then did I, finally and fully “see”. AND, please note well => This important “achievement” ''Mentally Arrived => ONLY after completion of very long series of writing & typing additions of many individual words (and word phrases), spread out over two years, and 6 different Save-As Files, each of which was accomplished by several writing sessions:
… AND as you can see (in above Blue Link) => None of these “Ideas” were achieved in just one writing. Rather, in each typing session, I would go as far as possible. Then, I would Save-As the document, then, ”Quit & Wait” until the next writing composition typing on my computer.

… VI) ALSO: The Above A) Thru F), Will Be Seen To Be In Close Agreement With Robert Pirsig In His Book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.” (ZMM):
Mr. Pirsig extensively discusses Quality, which is our Human Ability to Instantly See => What Is Good And Of Value (made apparent by action Pirsig calls Dynamic Quality, which is an ability built into us from the very beginnings of life on earth: )
… As will be fully discussed below in APPENDIX X, Robert Pirsig’s a) Dynamic Quality In Action, describes (necessarily & inescapably), the abilities that come from the inherent Problem Solving properties of our Human Mind, at each moment of time.
… Thus Pirsig’s Dynamic Quality is seen to be roughly equal to => b) Our Brain’s Automatic, Spontaneous, General Problem Solving Response as given in Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works”
**************************

EXPLANATION: What Makes These Above-Mentioned => “Best And Near Best Solutions” Possible, Functional, Indeed Very Fast, Successful, & Amazingly Powerful Is =>

The problem solutions (and concomitant plans plus emotions), present to conscious mind => A One-At-A-Time, Unified, Whole & Complete, Logical, Max Coherent, No Parts Left Out, Holistic, Full of Meaning, All-At-Once Solution => Good Answers, With Positive Feeling Of Success & joy, Emotional Satisfaction, & Feeling of Achievement, even Laughter! AND remarkably free of contradictions, inconsistencies, errors, non-factual data, and other spurious ideas & wrong conclusions. These are an immediate response to ongoing sensory input integrated with relevant memories, on a weighted basis to how recent, occurrence frequency, relation to circumstance, and survival value.
… As the book "Inside Jokes" so well points out, this sensation of joy is a huge reward (like a food reward), so we as a biological organism will pursue similar such problem-solving efforts in the future.
**************************

… For Our Problem Solving Brain Be Sure to Note Well => The Above-Mentioned Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Brain’s Memory ARE =>An Automatic Spontaneous Optimizing Creative Memory Cycle =>, Which Achieves New Learning, Refinement Of Skills, Better Habits, Improved, Solidified, Updated Knowledge, And Many More Examples.
…In Other Words => This is A Cycle Of Regenerative Upward Spiral Of Compounded, Creative, Building-On-(And Beyond)-The-Previous, Ever Improved Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Memory.

ADDITIONAL, SOMEWHAT REPETITIOUS, EXPLANATION OF & EXPANSION UPON THE ABOVE:

ALTHOUGH THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSIONS MAY SEEM EXCESS … BUT HOPEFULLY WILL HELP YOU TO MORE CLEARLY COMPREHEND IMPORTANT IDEAS … PERHAPS BECAUSE THESE IDEAS ARE PHRASED DIFFERENTLY OR PRESENTED IN DIFFERENT ORDER OF TOPICS.

AT VERY LEAST, THE FOLLOWING READINGS, WILL BE A USEFUL REVIEW OF IDEAS.

… NOTE: As You Read This Document, You Will Discover Long Wordy Phrases, => 1) Which seem clumsy and excessive. Plus 2) These same phrases are exactly repeated as explanation in other areas of This Document.
… The Reasons For This Are => a) Making shorter, Abbreviations or Acronyms, places extra burden on reader to remember meaning. b) The long versions carries the needed full precise meaning. c) By using the exactly repeated as explanation in other areas of This Document, the reader can see how same ideas apply other topic areas. d) The fact that these phrases are repeated, tells you that these ideas are of higher importance.
…So .. from this => Please learn to quickly “spot” these phrases, and learn to “jump-over” those you already know. It is hoped this system will work for your benefit.

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.
… Effective DATE-LINE May 12, 2019: =>-In Other Words Our Problem Solving Brain Makes Meaning, Sense of Truth, Beauty, Recognition, Insight, Knowing, Comprehension, 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.
*********
A) To Get Some Idea Just What This Suddenly “Just There” Come To Mind, Automatically Spontaneously, Generated “MEANING” Does For Us => Please Study The Passages Below => ‘
… AND As You Read Mr. Ben Thomas’s Words Below (especially as for Cat), Note That He Implies That Meaning Is … “Just There”! … “You Just See It!” …”You Just Know” The Presence Of => “Clarity, Understanding, AND Meaning”
… Writer Ben Thomas Says =>
“ ... an encounter with a cat carries a particular set of meanings for you - and those meanings determine which areas of your brain will perk up in the presence of a feline.”
.. ”Association and meaning”
… ”All this talk of “dimensions of association” points back to a far more profound idea about how our brains work: We understand the meaning of an object in terms of the meanings of other objects - other chunks of reality to which our brains have assigned certain characteristics. In the brain’s taxonomy, there are no discrete entries or “files” - just associations that are more strongly or more weakly correlated with other associations… “
… ”And that idea itself raises deeper quandaries: If associations define what an object or action “is,” as some neuroscientists have argued, then why does the concept of meaning - semantic representation - need to enter the picture at all? Instead of being a special type of mental function, might “meaning” itself simply be another word for ‘association’?” …”.
… ”Whatever that relationship turns out to be, the implication remains: In our brains, meaning and association go hand-in-hand. In the brain, even our most abstract concepts depend on our own real-world experiences.”

… Then from this thinking, I suddenly remember when I read word & its idea => “Connectives” . =>: For some peculiar reason, I remember, and then automatically comes to my mind” =>

… The Bottom Line => This was my first indication that Our Problem Solving Brain, can Generate, Construct, Create, A Sense, Sensation, & Awareness of “Not Only Connectives but Also Truth of These Connectives.”
… And from this, slowly came the realization that => “Our Problem Solving Brain, automatically spontaneously, Generates, Constructs, Creates, sense of truth !!” .
… And from this, slowly came the added realization that => “Our Problem Solving Brain, automatically spontaneously, Generates, Constructs, Creates, not only sense of truth but also sense of meaning !!”
… NOTE: Although we have no conception how our Brain does it => These above mentioned “Problem Solving Brain, automatically spontaneously, Generates, Constructs, Creates …are an ability , very similar to how our Brain Generates, Constructs, Creates, say “Perception” of our surrounding world. “It’s just there”, with no conscious effort.

… The table below (With Cptr Save-As Dates), was taken from The Word Processor Work Document, which I use to prepared the Page you are currently reading, Yes there’s a lot of text, but if you look closely, you can discern the mundane individual writing composition steps of, my Gradual Full Realization of “ A Very Important IDEA & FACT” Concerning Just How Problem Solving Brain Gives us “MEANINGS”:
… During the Writing Composition process, starting from a very “Ordinary Beginning’, my “Gradual Full Realization” automatically “came-to-mind”, step-by-step, as I would read (and re-read) various parts for good writing composition, in which then => I would see places that needed improving, or the reading would prompt even better word phrases to express the “Bigger Idea Panorama”, I automatically, spontaneously, wanted to emerge. Of course, the exact words would automatically, spontaneously, come to mind as Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrivals, and just as automatically, spontaneously, get typed into the Work Document. Thus gradually emerges, each with Felt Certainty the literal “Realizations of => Each of the new added words & word phrases, that you will see below.
… AND as you can see, none of these “Ideas” were achieved in one writing. Rather each typing session would go as far as possible. And when “The Well Went Dry”, I would Computer-Save the document, then, ”Quit & Wait” until the next writing composition typing on my computer. The virtues of this ”Quit & Wait” are fully discussed elsewhere in This Document you are currently reading. Find these By (~28 each) > Do > Top > Edit > Find > Quit & Wait …
… But, a better way to say was => Quit when out of Gumption, and come back a later time => hours, days, months, then the work flows more easily & productively!.
… By the evidence, as clearly seen in the Table below, the Gradual Full Realization, took the addition of many individual words (and word phrases), spread out over two years, and 6 different Save-As Files, each of which was accomplished by several writing sessions:
… Now To The Point => The Clear advantages of =>1) We Must Prepare, Study, And Struggle, THEN QUIT & WAIT! 2) Alternatively, We Should Quit & Wait When Out Of Gumption, And Then Come Back A Later Time
… I believe that some discoveries can ONLY be found this way! AND this technique seems to go beyond normal Writing Composition. As said elsewhere on This Document => Often for a reader (or page editor),- I think this is because, the “Go as far as you can, then come back later”, effectively “drops the reader into to the middle of the action”, without prior knowing the previous sentences or other surrounding sentences. This gives a sufficiently different “perspective”, that newly needed fixes and creative improvements, will be suddenly noticed, automatically spontaneously => The needed “better ways to say it; creatively, just suddenly pop into Mind!” I realize, in retrospect, that such needed improvements would not be “realized” in any other way!
… Concerning each of these above mentioned creatively “new added words” =>Robert Pirsig in his book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance,” (ZMM) calls => “The birth of a new fact ..”

CLOSURE FOR THE ABOVE TABLE, WHICH SHOWS HENRY GURR’S => Came To My Mind => “MY GRADUAL FULL REALIZATION OF A VERY IMPORTANT IDEA & FACT”.
… In This Table, Can Be Seen In Henry’s Writing Composition Steps, Illustrating How Came To His Mind => A Gradual Full Realization of => “These Very Important IDEAS & FACTS”
SUMMARY =>

For The Above A) & B) Writing Composition Steps, EACH Step Is A Good Example of Robert Pirsig’s “The birth of a new fact.” As Stated in His Book “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. (ZMM) =>
… “The birth of a new fact is always a wonderful thing to experience. It’s dualistically called a "discovery" because of the presumption that it has an existence independent of anyone’s awareness of it. When it comes along, it always has, at first, a low value. Then, depending on the value-looseness of the observer and the potential quality of the fact, its value increases, either slowly or rapidly, or the value wanes and the fact disappears.”

END OF => A VERY LENGTHLY SIDE NOTE: RE THE GESTATION OF A VERY IMPORTANT SERIES OF IDEAS.

DATE-LINE June 12 2023 by Henry Gurr “Above You Saw A Very Lengthily Report, Describing “How Did It Happen”, The It Was FINALLY Realized => “Our Problem Solving Brain Makes Meaning, Sense of Truth, Beauty, Recognition, Insight, Knowing, Comprehension, Sense of Clear Understanding, and Importance. And All This With Felt Certainty”.
… HOWEVER => In looking thru old Ken McClure Emails for something else, I discovered that this essential Meaning Conclusion was known 9 years earlier! Here is the state of my knowledge back then as re-constructed from emails March 28, 2014, April 1, 2014.
… Ken had recommended book => John K. Sheriff’s. “The Fate of Meaning: Charles Peirce, Structuralism, and Literature.” Princeton: 1989.
… Henry studied this valuable book closely, and saw much illumination concerning, not only Linguistics & Semiotics (Theory of Signs), but also clear discussion of how “modernist objectivism” negatively afflicted those early developers in the fields of Linguistics & Semiotics, such as Ferdinand de Saussure, and others. And in Sheriff’s book, saw many places, discussions of the detrimental effect of separation of mind-body, & subject-object etc, and other concerns. These are the concerns we have learned about from Owen Barfield, Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig and perhaps William James.
… From this study Henry also made an interesting discovery and Emailed to Ken => “What I find curious, in ALL of the Sheriff’s discussion of conclusions of Semiotics Workers and Philosophers, is the ABSENCE of any mention of what is it that “does the work” of the providing the meaning of a sign, for example!! Or how does the “work” analogy or metaphor get done? … Not any mention what is doing the doing or how … No consideration of the locus of the action (?brain?) … not even a hint of the fact that a certain idea (or some other form of understanding) gets realized into somebodies MIND, which REQUIRES someone’s brain Contrary to this, I have identified a passage nearest to saying mind or brain is the active agent, one is from your favorite, Charles Peirce!”
… To this Ken replied => “Insofar as the meaning is encompassed by calculation, any old calculating machine will do, so the absence shouldn't seem curious as far as that goes. Perhaps it is the original sin of western consciousness to reduce meaning to calculation; to indulge in that sin we must keep any such curiosity at bay. If we allow "meaning" to include the field of the organism, then more than calculation must be involved and "meaning" must take into account the satisfaction of the organism. If the organism is deemed to have a soul, the field now has a spiritual dimension in a way that makes Owen Barfield smile upon us.” … “How we adjudicate "the meaning of meaning" will probably come down to whether we grant priority to matter or spirit. Perhaps it is a matter of balance. It is hard to do justice to both, but in being put on earth a little space to learn to bear the beams of love, that is one of the difficult things we must try to do.”
… To this Henry replied => “Thanks for your thoughts below: I've been thinking on this, and come up with the following =>:

CLOSURE => Thus We See That The Vital Conclusion => Our Problem Solving Brain Makes Meaning =>
… Was essentially known 9 years earlier. And the point here being that => Clearly our mind can forget such things, and only with difficulty get them back again, and possibly not at all!!

And All This With Felt Certainty”.
HOWEVER => In looking thru old Ken McClure Emails as mentioned above, I discovered that Ken’s email Sept 29, 2014. has addition good discussion of how our Brains Make Meaning =>
…
“Dear Henry, ”

“You asked for a Barfield citation to where he says, something to the effect: "Words mean more than they say." ”

“I do not have the cite, but I would point to Speaker's Meaning as a prolonged meditation on this idea. What "words mean" at any given moment is their lexical meaning or dictionary definition; the "more" will be invested in them by the speaker's meaning. Words may take on "the form of things unknown" in virtue of the creative energies of what Barfield is calling "the speaker." We might just as well call him "the poet." I think Owen would be quick to remind us that the tension between lexical meaning and speaker's meaning is not a contradiction but a polarity. And if ever there was a word that means more than it says it is the word "polarity" when spoken by Owen Barfield!”

“Looked at from another angle, Barfield's "speaker" might be Peirce's "interpretant." The same creative energies are at work. Is it not the work of the interpretant that turns two-termed dyadic meaning into triadic meaning? Furthermore, we can think of Barfield's "lexical meaning" as the essence of dyadic meaning: The word-definition template stands as the very model of the signifier-signified dyad. It is opened up creatively as the interpreter "interprets." And we might for these purposes call the interpretant "the reader." ”

“In neither process is creative freedom absolute. The poet can effectively exercise his creativity only if a reader accepts his metaphor as sufficiently true to entertain it at least provisionally. Although in the first instance that "reader" may be the poet (acting as reader), in order for words to come to "mean more than they say" a bunch of readers must agree to this acceptance, by, for instance, deeming a nascent metaphor to be true. It's not so different in science: The "more meaning" Einstein proposes to invest in "gravity" will bear fruit only if other folks are convinced it be true.”

“To think more on this, go to "Whitehead" in the index Michael Polanyi's Personal Knowledge. In one of those cites you will find a footnote where Whitehead says something like: There is no statement that perfectly expresses its meaning (not even one plus one is two). In a way, this looks at "Words mean more than they say" pessimistically: Since words cannot perfectly state their meaning, we have to make up the difference. I think Polanyi (and Whitehead) are stating the optimistic side of this: Because words cannot perfectly state their meaning, we are free to invest them with the creative energies of our personal knowledge. Once again, this is not an assertion of absolute freedom; but perhaps our freedom is sufficient, if we would but use it. (Leonard Cohen sums it up this way: There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in.) ”

“Hasta, Ken”

“PS: 1. To speak of a line of poetry as a mental arrival is itself a helpful point of departure. Way too often structural analysis of poetry gets swamped in its own mechanistic presuppositions. To see "the line" as an arrival stresses its sufficiency of expression and its provisional stasis; to see it as a "successive mental arrival" stresses its organic continuity and expansive reach of meaning. It's refreshing to begin the discussion in this light.”
“PS: 2. [Please ignore spelling errors.] There is no correlation between ability to spell and intelligence (and if there is, it's inverse).”

My First (& Continued) Systematic Study Of The Flash Of Insight Type Phenomenon And Other Similar Mental Arrivals. by Henry Gurr.
… During my first years of teaching Physics USCA (starting ~1975), Education Professor Paul Wirtz helped me learn the Human Mental Development Theories of Jean Piaget who is rightfully very, very famous in educational circles. In extensively reading Piaget, I became more fully aware of The Flash of Insight (although not Piaget’s name for this phenomenon), and resolved to watch for its occurrence in => myself, my students, other people, and literature: This was the most essential base preparation for my ~1987 “Memory Perception Problem Solving ” Article => (Which is introduced at the very top of This Document you are currently reading, AND which may be accessed by > Click Here For My => MPPS Article => “Memory, Perception, Insight, and Problem Solving – **AHA** !!!” ):

What You Need To Know About The Flash of Insight.

… Throughout History, The Flash Of Insight Is Widely Acknowledged To Be A Powerful Source Of Great Discoveries, And For This Reason =>

… However, I Henry Gurr believes this above mentioned MENTAL BARRIER is much of the reason that Flash of Insight Research Literature (such as Psychology, Brain Research, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, and Philosophy), mostly does not show a discussion of An Optimum (Best or Near Best), As The Single Fundamental Criterion, For Brain Operation.

… Now, Where-As => Many Insightful Authors Can Be Found, Which Partly Have An Implied “Theory How Our Mind Works”.
… There Unfortunately Is Not So Much To Be Found For Research Results Regarding The “Flash Of Insight or Other Similar Mental Arrivals”
… This Applies to Research Aras Such As => Psychology, Brain Research, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, And Philosophy.
… Big Exceptions Here Are =>

… "And an insight doesn't have to be related to a particular problem that you were thinking about. In real life, people have spontaneous insights all the time that have nothing to do with any problem that you've been working on. You could be walking down the street, and all of a sudden an idea pops into your head that solves a problem that you didn't even know you had. In that case, your brain may have been unconsciously processing ideas—for seconds, or for years. This is called incubation."
… "In insight problem solving, the work of solving goes on unconsciously and the final product gets dumped into the consciousness. Even if you're not aware of it, your brain chugs along and can come up with that solution. "
… "The timing of that flash is just about when they reach the solution. The specific area where this is happening, the right anterior superior temporal gyrus, connects to other areas of the brain. People who have damage in that area, due to strokes or other reasons, have trouble connecting disparate ideas to understand jokes or metaphors. Getting a joke often involves a sudden insight. A joke often leads you down a path, and then you get to the punchline and it goes somewhere else—that's what makes it funny.
… =There was another key finding. A few hundred milliseconds before that flash was a burst of a different kind of activity in the back of the brain—a burst of EEG alpha waves. Those are lower-frequency waves. Alpha waves have been studied for about 80 years, and what we know about them is that they're a measure of inhibition of the visual system. They are the opposite of neural activity—when alpha is high, neural activity is low. What we found is that just before an insight, a person's visual system is inhibited for a few hundred milliseconds. Think about it this way: when you ask people a difficult question, to concentrate on it, they often look away. They may look down at their feet or up at the sky, or even close their eyes to think, to focus. The brain does the exact same thing."= What sudden insights look like inside the brain” [= … The above-mentioned Research of John Kounios, very well fits & confirms => Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works”, Presented on the Page you are reading right now. And Conversely.

… And eventually, perhaps in our PostModern Times, these “low credibility” assumptions will eventually change, so the long spurned subjective mental phenomenae, will finally become “objective”, despite the fact that => They are not directly (external to mind, physical world), experience-able, as is perhaps demanded of most other scientific observations.
… This above “long spurned subjective mental phenomena”, is a major thread very well explicated by Robert Pirsig, in his “Zen and The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” (ZMM).

Not Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
IN SUMMARY: Our Cultures Blindness, To The Importance Of The Flash of Insight, is a consequence of our culture’s tacit acceptance of scientific materialism, and associated Nihilism, coming in the disillusioned aftermath of WWI. The works of Owen Barfield, Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig, Morris Berman, and others, discuss how IN-Adequate is this turn of Western Culture, and offer constructive ways out of it.

THIS ENTIRE SECTION SAYS => … WHAT THIS THEORY IS ABOUT, IS IT VALID, AND WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO LEARN ABOUT IT. In Other Words => WHAT THIS OVERALL WEBPAGE IS TRYING TO COMMUNICATE?

… Wikipedia goes on to say a person’s ToM re another person’s mind is => “.. Limited to just a single person’s understanding of how other person’s mind “works”, including => “ .. attribute mental states—beliefs, intents, desires, emotions, knowledge, etc.—to oneself, and to others, without trying to say how those mental states might come about.” … “The intuitive assumption that others are minded is an apparent tendency we all share. We anthropomorphize non-human animals, inanimate objects, and even natural phenomena. Daniel Dennett referred to this tendency as taking an "intentional stance" toward things: we assume they have intentions, to help predict future behavior. However, there is an important distinction between taking an "intentional stance" toward something and entering a "shared world" with it. The intentional stance is a detached and functional theory we resort to during interpersonal interactions. A shared world is directly perceived and its existence structures reality itself for the perceiver. It is not just automatically applied to perception; it in many ways constitutes perception.”
… As stated above => A persons understanding (theory), of how another person’s mind works is a ToM. This is very similar to => The Intentional Stance Is A Term Coined By Philosopher Daniel Dennett.

WHAT IS A THEORY?

A GOOD THEORY PROVIDES (ALL AT ONCE) =>

WHAT ARE THE OBSERVATIONS THAT THIS PROTO-THEORY SUMMARIZES?

…This is a very good way to see-for-yourself, that my theory is valid, in actual real world practice!

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
Theory Must Be Verified By Our Own Direct Observation of It’s Working In Real World: These Observations, Must In Turn Fit The Reported Observations (and Writing), of Other Qualified Observers!

AND CONVERSELY:

Thus the Purposes of Good Theories Are => a) Accurate Organizing of Observed Facts, b) Reliable Guiding of Real World Future Actions, c) Predicting Results, & d) Synchronizing (Making Sense Of) Required Observations.

For myself, when I’ve written Paper Scratch Notes, that are for an idea to be typed into a document, I can mostly get the typing done without looking at the notes! b) This “solidify into mind”, is also amply demonstrated for students remembering their physic, when they make written Lab Reports.

… Altogether => You will see that “How Your Mind Works” is quite similar to The Mental Workings of other persons. Of course this is as expected, but is fun to watch anyway!

Even after any theory is “accepted” there should be a continuous Back-Checking for validity, and close examination of what seems wrong or puzzling.

Please Notice & Think => You should be aware that Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , ALSO (in part), wells agrees with the writings (and implied theory), of many insightful authors. They write quite perceptively about their own mode of discovery and their heart felt conclusions on how we all should best use our minds. Although not written with the idea of being a Philosophy of Mind, these works in their own way, many places essentially contain a Theory of How Our Mind Works!!
… These authors have formed their conclusions, from their own mode of discovery, independent of others, and thus when we find portions of mutual author agreement & support, we have found significant conclusions, likely to be truth bearing! The inquiring reader would do well to study the works of authors whose names and conclusions are on This Document You Are Currently Reading, : Top writers Re Mind, include => Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig, Owen Barfield, B F Skinner, John K Sheriff, Charles Peirce, George Lakoff.

Further, I strongly believe that anyone who well studies This Document You Are Currently Reading, will find these ideas & conclusions true to their own direct experience! In fact, these are the exact reasons why I have worked SO VERY HARD, to get these ideas & conclusions written up in This Document You Are Currently Reading.

HOW WILL THIS PROTO-THEORY HELP ME?

…This Knowledge Will Help You Better Understand Your “Mind At Work” In The Creation Of => Your own (and other people’s), new Sudden, Automatic, Spontaneous, Mental Arrivals. This Knowledge will help your understand other person’s => realizations, motivations, and limits, and thus get along better with them and your society.
… Moreover, when reading about what people of earlier times said or perceived, you will be able to more accurately decode their ancient understanding and interpretation of their world AS THEY SAW IT, and thus formed their views into their Writing and Archeological Artifacts !. The same for other cultures, or for any “other” Possible Worlds! And Besides It’s A VERY Interesting Theory, Full Of New Ideas!

YOU WILL FIND THIS DOCUMENT YOU ARE CURRENTLY READING, OVERALL IS HARD READING

…Much of the reading difficulty is because these ideas are so new and un familiar, it is hard to see what is meant: These ideas are so new because you have not been “exposed” to them. This is because such ideas are mostly NOT part of your culture. (This is fact, and that these ideas are mostly culturally missing, partly explains why these ideas fail to appear in my extensive literature research.)
… In other words your reading will be tough, but rewarding, intellectual work, in which you will see a valuable new (scientific / philosophical), understanding of the mind. Overall, you will gain a new set of practical ideas which, when put into practice, will help you be most effective, in using your own mind, and body.

END SECTION: What My Theory Is About & Why You Might Want To Learn About It.

AN EMAIL LETTER TO FAMOUS NEW YORK TIMES AUTHOR, Sept 24, 2017.
… This Letter Is => A Short Overview Summary About My Extended Study Of The Consequences Of The Quite General Mental Process, Variously Called =>
… “Flash Of Insight, Sudden Illumination, **AHA** Light Bulb,” Which Then Discusses => How This Has Lead To A Completely New & Unprecedented “Theory of How Our Mind Works,”
… NOTE: Because Famous Author J. G. knew nothing about my project, a letter of this nature, of course, must somewhat repeat many of the topics on This Document you are currently reading.

Dear Mr J. G.

You perhaps already know, that brain process such as the Flash of Insight, are a direct result of important, fundamental, and deeply built-in, automatic brain problem solving processes, deserving our closest attention. However, despite the fact that Flashes of Insight have led to many amazing discoveries, our culture, brain scientists, and especially academic philosophers, as a group, tend to ignore the Flash Of Insight (and subjective mental events related to the Flash Of Insight). This is because they (especially Philosophers), do not trust anything that just mysteriously ‘happens’, or totally illogically comes “out-of-the-blue.”

However, the Flash of Insight can be an important starting point for a Theory of How Our Mind Works: Additionally the absolutely most vital clue for Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , is supplied by Princeton Theoretical Physicist J. J. Hopfield’s Neural Network Model. The Hopfield Physics Theory, with its Mathematical Proof, tells us in broad brush strokes how a collection of interconnected neurons spontaneously, unsupervised, automatically, following its own rules, indeed might truly be able to find Optimal, (Best or Near Best) Solutions. AND indeed, be able to do so “suddenly” (came to my mind) as in The Flash of Insight!!

In addition, Hopfield’s Physics & Mathematical Theory, with its Mathematical Proof, solidly establishes how a network of neurons will produce a good, but not perfect, result very quickly. For a biological organism, this is clearly an ecologically advantageous trade off (This is in contrast to the usual digital computer that will produce a perfect, highly accurate, result but may take a very long time on certain problems).

In Building A Theory Of How Our Mind Works (ie A Philosophy Of Mind), The Properties Of Neural Networks (Of Which Hopfield’s Model Is An Example), Deserve Very Close Attention.
From Prof Hopfield’s results, the inescapable conclusion => Neural Networks MUST underlie, and be at the basic foundation of a Theory of How Our Mind Works, since such fits the following necessary biological conditions =>

THUS: Neural Networks, such as proposed by Prof Hopfield, 1) Well fit what can be built up by means of Darwinian Evolution, and 2) Well fit what can be created from fertilized egg, growing to an adult, dynamically learning, and developing. ... Also such Neural Networks, as proposed, well fit what we see in the obvious fine-tuned behavior of animals and ourselves, both mentally and in subsequently emerged physical real-world body actions. Such a system supports Darwinian Survival, and thus we are here to tell the story!

From this I assert that: The cause and overall systematics of these Hopfield general solutions underlie and are the foundation of our mental life and resulting Consciousness. This conclusion, is the basis of Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” of How Our Mind Works.

More Over => This Conclusion Strongly Supports Prof John R Searle’s Own Stated Conclusions =>

Besides Prof Searle, a number of Brain Scientists, & Philosophers have an understanding of Human Mental Processes that in part, agree with Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” And Conversely. Significant support is seen in the thinking of the following Authors => Tom Cornsweet, J J Hopfield, Robert Pirsig, Owen Barfield, Michael Polanyi, B F Skinner, John K Sheriff, Charles Peirce, Bessel van der Kolk, Jeffrey W. Cooney & Michael S. Gazzaniga, Daniel Dennett, George Lakoff, and many, many others. (If you want more information, please email.)
******************************************

You should know that I’m an unknown newcomer to this study of mind, and of course no match to the range of knowledge or experience of other Philosophy of Mind Researchers. However, I hope you can accept new theory ideas from a newcomer, since Often A Beginner’s Mind is a virtue when it comes to realizing a new kind of theory and/or breakthrough ideas.

And based on my 30 years of searching, I believe This Proto-Theory Outlined Click Here will be quite different, at the frontier of science, from any point of view you have ever seen previously. Thus, this is likely to provide you with a considerably different Alternate Conception, for seeing into “How Our Mind Works”.

Most of what is presented below comes from the Literature on Creativity, Mind, Brain Science, Vision, Psychology Especially Gestalt, Creative Problem Solving, Invention, Teaching, Learning, Writing, Philosophy, etc. Most of this is previously known, but scattered in confusing, unrelated pieces of information. As such, most of what I say is not new, and much or all of it may already be known to you.

But I Believe What Deserves Your Attention Is This =>
… A NEW Overall, Integrated, Unified, Thesis Panorama Where Things Fit And Make More Sense! Lots of puzzles and mysteries disappear! And the more I develop This Proto-Theory, the more these ideas fit into a larger and larger comprehensive whole! This, I believe, is the mark of a good theory!

As I’ve found in Electronic Troubleshooting => When puzzles are solved, and from this more & more ideas fit, and make sense => This means you are on the right track! (The “more-fit-sense-of-knowing-on-right-track”, needs more literature research.)

However, in extensive literature research, this full panorama is NOT found, to good approximation. In other words, my Henry Gurr “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” (At Blue Link Above). will be so UN-familiar, your reading of it below will take some, as Robert Pirsig says, “re-arranging a lot of intellectual furniture”, As Immanuel Kant said “A Copernican Revolution”, Or as Thomas Kuhn said a “Paradigm Shift”.((Of course, it you know of any writing (or author) that seems to be even partly similar to mine, please let me know. Click on Contact Me below.))

I trust this letter will be a suitable introduction, and hope you will find interesting. I will gladly send more information and answer your questions. Especially so, because our brain and sensory organs are marvelously complex & intricate, there must be a whole lot more to the story!

PS: It is a separate puzzle to me how this overall Proto-Theory (so very obvious in retrospect), can NOT be found in published literature.

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
As You Read Below I Hope You Will Temporarily “Put On The Back Shelf”, Your Existing Conclusions Re Mind

This Entire Section, Is A Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.

AN INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW OF THE 23 PROPOSITIONS of Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”.

… It Is Productine And Revealing To Consider That Everything The Brain Does Is General Problem Solving Which Finds A Single, Optimal (Best Or Near Best), Solutions To Life’s Oncoming Problems.

… Only When A Single Solution Has Sufficient Quality Or Overall Coherence Does This Solution Appear In Conscious Mind, Concurrent With A Plan For Future Action (Our Intentions), Appropriate To The Situation.
… The Optimal Problem Solutions (And Concomitant Plans + Emotions), In Response To Sensory Input, Have Accessed (And Utilized) All Relevant Memories, Which Then Are Subsequently Updated,
… Thus Are Improved And Solidified, Such As In Learning And Formation Of Ever More Functional Habits, Or Ever Improvement Of Skilled Human Performances.

For Reasons That Will Be Supported Below: => To Achieve These Optimal (Best or Near Best) Solutions, It Is Necessary For Our Problem Solving Brain, To Calculate” How Well Current 9 Senses Inputs Fit Relevant Memories, With Weight More Heavily On => How Recent In Time, Relative Importance, And Salience,.

( Editor RPG Comment: Besides brains using memory for finding solutions, they may also incorporate instinct, a kind of genetic memory: For example, humans nearly ubiquitously have a fear of snakes on an instinctive level and perceive "threat" without previously encountering an actual snake, or even hearing about one.)

CONCERNING THE MEANING OF WORDS => “Best Or Near Best” – “Problem Solutions” => That Mentally Arrive into Our Conscious Mind =>
… The above and below words, “greatest coherence”, “optimal”, maximal, and “best or near best problem solutions”, have somewhat equivalent meanings and results.
… As are used in this WebPage, for Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” : Moreover, herein, the meaning for these words (as well as most others herein), corresponds to most English Language Dictionaries.

NOTE1: Our God Given Body & Mind Comes With The Ability To Automatically Know => A) “What Is Good”, B) “What Is ~Best”, C) “How To Work In The ~Best Ways , E) What is Quality, And F) What Is The Cutting Edge Of Reality.

NOTE2: Above E) thru F) Are Major Topics So Very Well Explicated By Robert Pirsig, In His “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” '' (ZMM).
… What Mr. Pirsig says about his “Quality”, may be interpreted as the automatic spontaneous optimum seeking operation of our mind, and as such is strongly supported by Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , and conversely.
… Mr Pirsig’s, “Quality” from his first book ZMM, and “Static Quality” vs “Dynamic Quality”, is from his second book “LILA” :

NOTE3: As You Will Eventually Come To Realize => Mr. Pirsig’s Two Books, Are Close To Presenting => “A Theory of How Our Mind Works” , AND has Conclusions That Nicely Support => ,

( Editor RPG Comment: In biological systems, this ~”Best”, isn’t necessarily always the superior ->–When going for “best:, there may be added resource consumption and requirements might not always pay off. Even in cognition itself, “best” doesn’t always pay off either, as in the class Ascidiacea [or sea squirt], which has a ganglia network in its larval stage, but loses it entirely when it matures! As far as I can tell, greater cognition is advantageous for rapid environmental change, whereas in constant environments it’s selected against. Human cognition may have reached its modern state due to a constantly shifting environment which evolution can’t program for quickly enough!)
… ….

#47Synonyms

CONCERNING THE MEANING OF => 47 Synonym Words, Related To Word => {+Optimum}+. These Are => apex, summit, top, crest, pinnacle, mountaintop, spire, heights, brow, crown, crest, peak, top, vertex, maximum, maximal, optimum, optimal, largest, greatest, tip, cap, vertex, zenith, high point, high spot, highlight, climax, culmination, consummation, epitome, ascendancy, crowning point, peak of perfection, best, near best, acme, apogee, prime, heyday, ne plus ultra, nonpareil, best part, perfection, top form, highest level, goes over the top, Plus similar listing for other languages! (A Glossary, is in preparation.)
NOTE1: The above list of ~44 Synonym Words, Is Another Way Of Telling Us That Humans Have Excellent Abilities, To Know Near Instantly, “What is ~Best”. This is because otherwise we would not so readily recognize and use these 44 synonym words.
… Of course, this is a natural consequence of our General Problem Solving Brain, as established by the Physics Theory of Professor Hopfield, as discussed many places This Document You Are Currently Reading.
NOTE2: Our Human Ability To Recognize, Synonym (And Analogy, Metaphor, Simile, Reminiscent, Metanony, Allegory, Allusion, Etc). Is Taken Up In This Webpage => On How Our Mind Achieves Perception, Pattern Recognition, Partial Fit Problem Solution, Where Even A Partial Fit Problem Solution, Can Be Highly Useful, AND How This In Turn Gives Us Synonym, Analogy, Metaphor, Similar, Similarity, Seems Like, Etc,.

… Also See In This Document You Are Currently Reading, The Topics Of: => a) “Generate” b) “Construct”, c) “Create”, d) “Primary Consciousness”, as well as => e) “The ‘Seven (Plus/Minus Two) Solutions”’ f) In Consciousness” g) “Constructivism”, h) “Constructivist Epistemology”,….

Henry S Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works” , Presented On The Page You Are Reading Right Now.

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
PROPOSITION 1): It Is Productive And Revealing To Consider That Everything Our Brain Does Is Holistic General Problem Solving =>
… The Solutions Of Which Suddenly Mentally Arrive Into Our Conscious Mind, And Thereby Guide Our Actions, Both Physical Motions And Intellectual Accomplishments.

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
PROPOSITION 2a): To Be Clear: This Problem Solving Of PROPOSITION 1) Above, Is EVERYTHING Our Brain Does, In General, Using Our Entire Nervous System.
… Our Brain’s Problem Solution, upon achieving sufficient standards of Quality or Fitness, automatically presents to our Conscious Awareness, suddenly an integrated => One-At-A-Time, Unified, Whole & Complete, Coherent, No Parts Left Out, Holistic, All-At-Once Solution, apparently arising from and determined by our sensory inputs (9 senses). This is a single global, overall, Solution (Answer) or possibly Perception.
… In other words, we will say that these “Problem Solution(s) Suddenly Fully Formed, Mentally Arrive into our Conscious Mind.”
… To Begin To See The Implications, Here Are A Few Elementary Examples. Of Course, The Range Of General Problems Solved Far Exceeds This Simplistic List.

PROPOSITION 2b): BRAIN’S STORED MEMORIES OF PAST SUCCESSES, ARE USED TO GUIDE FUTURE BEHAVIOUR:
… In The Above, It Is Not Stated, But Nevertheless ALWAYS Implied That =>
Our Problem Solving Ability, Indeed All Or Our Mental / Brain Functioning At All Moments, Depends On => Our Brain’s Own Internal Massive Memory:
… (Hypothesis) When we perceive our surrounding world, our brain does a “Memory 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 (ie previous Problem Solutions), which have been previously saved into our massive associative memory bank, just on purpose, ready to be so used.
…(Hypothesis continued) 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), a Mental Model of “What Is Out There”. Mentally Arrives into Conscious Mind, which Is typically visual, and which we commonly call Consciousness. We all know that Consciousness is what we have when awake, and don’t have when asleep. This herein is called “Primary Consciousness” , a name chosen to make a clear distinction from other uses of the word Consciousness.
…In other words => During Perceiving of The External World => This resulting Partial Fit Problem Solution, is typically a Mental Model of “What Is Out There”, and in this case results in a Generated, Constructed, Created, “Primary Consciousness” .
…(Please also see Mental Model other places on This Document, and Wikipedia Blue Link next down.)
…In Summary => The Problem Solving “Brain’s Memory” of Past Success, is used for Future Action. Such as => i) Re-Call, Re-Member, Re-Construct, Re-Create … Generates, Constructs, Creates => Answers, Thoughts, Ideas, Conclusions, Intentions, Behavior, Etc, as => 1) Sudden Mental Arrivals, into our Conscious Mind., and/or 2) Available for our Other UN-Conscious Problem Solving Brain Processes.
… For Examples of How => “Our Brain’s Memory of Past Success, is used for Future Action” “ > Please > This Document > See the next 14 each > Top > Do > Edit > Find > … past ... .
… In other words => PAST SUCCESS, Is Saved into Our Brain’s Memory, For The Very Purpose Of GUIDING FUTURE BEHAVIOUR,
… This Is => Professor B. F, Skinner’s => “Selection By Consequences” . Discussed As Follows =>

This Entire Interlude Section, Is A Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
FOR PROPOSITIONS 3): THRU 5): =>
… BEGINNING HERE => A FIRST INTERLUDE FOR A VERY LENGTHILY EXPLANATION OF =>
… … HOW PAST SUCCESS, SAVED INTO MEMORY, PROVIDES BASIS FOR FUTURE PLANS & RESULTANT BEHAVIOUR. Continued from above.

A) FIRST PART Here Some Readers May Think =>
1) “WAIT A MINUTE!
How can the brain make any plan for the future, which is unknowable? What criterion is used? What’s the base being assumed?

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
2) ANSWER:
… Through the eons of Darwinian Evolution, it was found by direct (life & death), trial and error. that future actions and plans (for a problem coming at us in a given physical circumstance) can be successfully based on an average of past successful behavior, for a similar problem & physical circumstance. Hence the use of memory as stated above. In other words, by reusing past successful behavior, we and our Problem Solving Brain can predict good success in our future actions. This is sufficient to automatically set up our next series of body motions (and thoughts, conclusions, etc), and nearly always achieve success.
… Further support here => After this comes up please scroll down to => Eleanor Rosch's (1978, p. 28) criterion of the "maximum information with the least cognitive effort".

… 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! This of course is exactly what always is accomplished, UN-Supervised & Automatically by the => “Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory.”

******** o0OOO0o ********

B) SECOND PART => MY ABOVE “DARWINIAN EVOLUTION” SENTENCE, IS WELL SUPPORTED IN THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF => BEHAVIORIST RESEARCHER, B. F. SKINNER, IN HIS OWN ILLUMINATING WAY =>
… In 1981 B. F. Skinner, gave an exceedingly important, career summary Science Magazine Article, Titled “Selection By Consequences” . (Thanks to Wikipedia, which shows Link To Whole Article.) Throughout his article he uses a form (style) of argumentation, as in this passage: => “People are said to store information about contingencies of [past] reinforcement and retrieve it for use on later occasions [future]. But they do not consult copies of earlier contingencies to discover how to behave; they behave in given ways because they have [unknowingly] been changed by those contingencies.”
In other words Prof Skinner everywhere uses a “selection by consequences” mode of explanation … AND In essence, he applies this same style of argument to “explain” all biology, from the very first living creatures, to actions of organisms, to individual humans, to societies of humans and culture. One size fits all!
Clearly Professor Skinner’s Science Mag Article major assertion => “Only past consequences figure in present moment’s selection of the animal’s behavior.” The whole article is composed of examples like this, and thus serve to illustrate Skinner’s mode of arguing: AND in this way he can "explain" ~all principles of evolution and current living creatures!
My sudden insight: > "Ok, this “selection by consequences” mode of explanation SHOULD be placed in parallel to other modes of explanation of various biological processes, even traditional causal ones, which Skinner derides!
Note well that Skinner does not ever mention brain “insides”, such as what we all call “memory” Here is a typical Skinner example statement=> ”Operant behavior [of an animal], is shaped and brought under the control of the environment without the intervention of a principle of mind.” You may see Professor Skinner’s entire article here => Prof Skinner’s Quite Excellent Discussion Of How An Organism Can Use Past Successful Experience, Saved Into Memory, To Guide Future Behavior. This article published in => Skinner, B. F (July 31, 1981). "Selection by Consequences" (PDF). Science. 213 (4507): 501–504.…

Although Prof Skinner’s Article “Selection By Consequences “ May Seem Quaint & Too Simplistic, I Believe That =>
… What Prof Skinner Says And Concludes, At Rock Bottom, Is All TRUE: AND WE MUST Keep His Viable Point Of View And His Useful Basic Theory On The Table, In Parallel With Whatever Else We May Conclude About Biology And Human Mind.
YES! Past success, saved into memory, controls future action! YES! Selection by Consequences: And from somewhere, stuck in my mind, is Skinner saying approximately “Behavior is the control of perception!”, and NOT the other way around! …
But Ultimately, Prof Skinner’s Work Is Not What We Should Want, Principally Because He Refuses (As Do Nearly All Behaviorists), To Even Whisper About What Is Inside Our Skull, Even To Use The Word Memory!
… Moreover, I (Henry Gurr), strongly believe we CAN successfully construct a satisfactory and useful, theoretical model (a Theoretical Model), for what must by inference, be inside us. I believe we can use available observations, clues, and data to appropriately infer the parts and pieces, wheels, gears, pulleys, of our Mind. …
Of Course We Must Recognize That Any Of Our Useful Theoretical Models (That We Can Logically Infer & Construct), Are Mostly In Our Imagination (Ie Imaginary), And Not Have A Factual Literal Independent Existence: But That Is Ok, So Long As =>

c) As we use such “Imaginary” Theoretical Models we will not worry too much because => Most (if not all), of what we know & believe are also of this “Imaginary” status! Eventually you may come to realize that this “Imaginary” status is ALSO true of major scientific ideas (really concepts), such as Chemical Bonds, The Biological Gene, The Force Of Gravity, The Particles As Waves In Quantum Mechanics, Elementary Particles In Physics even their Between Particle Forces, AND even our Own Money!! For All Of These And Many More => “Convenient Fiction” Is An Apt Term For Indicating Their Status in Our World Of Ideas & Concepts!

NOTE: Concerning The Above Mentioned “Theoretical Mental Models”: For Such Models, & Indeed, ANY Major Scientific Idea OR Major Theory => These “Models” Can Be VERY Useful BUT We Must NEVER Forget => These Are Created By Humans, & Thus Have Provisional Status! AND Are Not Any Final Truth. Click here, and AFTER the new page comes up scroll down to THIS => A NECESSARY SIDE NOTE & INTERLUDE: A GOOD THEORY IS MAGIC !!.

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 =>

… 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), of “The Needed Solution”, It then Mentally Arrives into Conscious Mind.
… ] And Then, (Hypothesis) When there is 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 ), for this Solution (Answer) to Mentally Arrives into Our Conscious Mind..

… In Other Words => There Is 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, 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 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.
… TO REPEAT: As You Have Seen Above And Will Learn More Below => Be Sure to Note Well =>This Is An 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 Spiral Of Compounded, Creative, Building-On-(And Beyond)-The-Previous, Ever Improved Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Memory.

These Creatively Improved Memories In People, Lead To Learning, Training, Skills, Insight, Formation Of Better Habits, And Thus Expert Performance. These Genuine Creative Solutions, On Purpose, Keep On Building Up In Our Brain’s Memory, Our Whole Life!
… Please Note Well: As a General Rule => The net result of this Creative Brain Action To Generate, Construct, Create, (Even De-Novo Creative), Absolutely New Solutions (Answers), the value of which are seen in the areas of Invention, Discovery, and Other Creative Art Endeavors, where (often in a sudden, automatic, spontaneous, Mental Arrival, such as a Flash of Insight), emerge absolutely new, novel, innovative, indeed creative, ideas, processes, and scientific knowledge! These suddenly appear into this world, where no hint of these existed previously!
… And knowledge of how to promote “Invention, Discovery, and Other Creative Art Endeavors” => Is A Practical Real-World Application of this => “Theory Explanation of How Our Mind Works” , AND has Conclusions That Nicely Support => Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works”, presented on this page you are reading right now.
… These creatively improved memories, saved into persons brains, distributed throughout a population over the generations, leads to cultural advances, ever escalating creation of new concepts & abstractions, leading to ever-changing language, and ultimately to Owen Barfield’s Evolution of Consciousness!: (For 15 more on this > Do > Edit > Find > … Evolution of Consciousness … .)

But This Raises A Number of Fundamental Questions:

PROPOSITION 3c): To Answer These Fundamental Questions => Below Is My Rather Long Hypothesis, For Brain Solution Mental Arrivals Of =>
… Any Nascent Mental Arrival likely starts quite small, and perhaps is one of several (or even many), local coherence concentrations that have the ability to grow, by some form of spreading activation (each of these to a better partial fit)., not unlike spreading growing roots of a plant.
… For example, a newly generated Nascent Mental Arrival might be precipitated into action by some small/large/sudden changes in 9 senses input, the meaning of which is decoded (solution), using positive coherences in memory.
… Some authors call this resonance. … USCA Psychologist William (Bill) House, says the “Slide To Better & Better”, is analogous to “Water sliding down a series of gullies”, similar to water flowing down a steep mountain stream. So “All Is Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solution!”, is analogous to a liquid going downhill, following & guided by valleys, to lowest energy level.

NOTE1: Concerning Above Mentioned Suppression => Suppression (Or Enhancement), In Human Visual Perception, Is Easy To Demonstrate. FIRST click here to RE-READ my brief introduction, and be SURE you UNDERSTAND why Flash of Insight (and other sudden, automatic, spontaneous, Mental Arrivals), are SO IMPORTANT!! THEN SECOND, click on it’s bottom link, to read my MPPS Article, “Memory Perception Insight And Problem Solving. AHA!”: After This Document comes up scroll down to read about Insight Problem Solving in Jokes, AND THERE THIRD SEE => Several demonstrations of VISUAL BLOCKAGES.
NOTE2: The Same (As In NOTE1), Can Be Said For Synaptic Fatigue, Or Short-Term Synaptic Depression, Or Other Forms Of Neuron Synapse Habituation. It is a fact that our human vision, will completely fade to nothing in ~0.5 seconds, were it not for our eyes continuing, involuntary, small step-motions called “saccades”: This Is Excellently Explained By Tom Cornsweet, In His Very Perceptive, All Time Classic Book “Visual Perception”.
… And as is done by experienced bird watchers or hunters => You can somewhat demonstrate visual fade, by fixating your gaze for 10 20 sec, into some trees. It will feel funny, put keep watching => The general non-moving scenery will somewhat fade, but anything moving will tend to stand out. For some animals (deer, frogs, etc), the fade (except for moving objects), is rather complete. In humans the, normal eye saccades prevent the full fade.
… And from this, we may conjecture that our brain has its own ways to work with (or prevent) synaptic fatigue, from un-wanted fading any one Mental Arrival. And similar for animals.
… There could be lots of other such ways, of which we have no knowledge of, but perhaps the “factors” mentioned above, are the most obvious & common.
NOTE3: The Two NOTES Above, Discussed A) Visual Blockage & B) A Similar Process Called Visual Fading.
… And from this, perhaps, you will not be surprised that (beyond those “Perceptual Blindness’s Mentioned In My MPPS Article. Click Here), that there are other forms of “blockage” or “failure to see or hear”, or “failure to perceive”.
… And This “Perceptual Blindness”, Is An Important & Huge Topic that cannot be taken up here. But several more examples are below: Please notice that a good bit of the ‘failure to see”, is a result of “Only-One-At-A-Time” Brain Solutions, where THE SOLUTION CURRENTLY BEING SEEN, SHUTS OUT ANY OTHERS!

I … In the above examples, of course, the user’s brain’s solution was not necessarily what the user wanted, and thus might be considered a solution failure. However, the solution might alternately be seen as the best available, given the immediate situation & context, especially when the brain is dealing with contradictory information input, from the senses and/or intellectual material. After all when the brain must select, “Only-One-At-A-Time” Brain Solutions, in circumstances with multiple, or conflicting information, something has to be left out or omitted.
… Thus in these examples of “what the brain actually does” (or prevents), we must study and remember what happened. Then write out paper notes of what happened. This will help you to remember, and know, what to expect similar diversions might happen in the future.

This means nothing can be left out, when accessing memory.

The Problem Solving Brain Can Generate, Construct, Create, A Mental Arrival Solution => Which Is A Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit.
… This Leads To The MAJOR Conclusion For Mental Arrivals That => “ALL Brain Solutions Are Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit “ !
BELOW NEXT YOU WILL SEE =>
… These Conclusions & Concepts & Language, Will Be Written Into The Following Discussions, As Perhaps I Henry Gurr, Should Have Already Been Doing All Along, As You Now See In => PROPOSITION 4a): FOR THE SPECIAL CASE OF =>

PROPOSITION 4a): FOR THE SPECIAL CASE OF =>
… 9 Senses Input To Our Problem Solving Brain => Resulting In Automatic Spontaneous Perception Of The EXTERNAL World =>
… Which Will Generate, Construct, Create => A Partial Fit Problem Solution, Which In Turn Is Typically A Mental Model Of “What Is Out There”, And In This Case Results In A Generated, Constructed, Created, “Mental Theater Stage’ (Herein Called) “Primary Consciousness” .

Concerning The Formation Or, And What Mentally Appears In PRIMARY CONSCIOUSNESS => We Can Say The Following Equivalent, As Expressed In Human Understandable Words =>
NOTE: The Below Is An Abbreviated Version The Above Mentioned DATE-LINE May 14, 2023.
… (Hypothesis) When we perceive our surrounding world, our brain does a “Memory Partial Fit To Sensory Input,” as follows=> The 9 senses inputs from the surrounding world, are matched-up-against 9 senses inputs that were saved simultaneously along with our brain’s memory of a massive lifetime of memories of previously recognized sensory input patterns (ie previous Problem Solutions), which have been previously saved into our massive associative memory bank, just on purpose, ready to be so used.
…(Hypothesis continued) 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), a Mental Model of “What Is Out There”. Mentally Arrives into Conscious Mind, which Is typically visual, and which we commonly call Consciousness. We all know that Consciousness is what we have when awake, and don’t have when asleep. This herein is called “Primary Consciousness” , a name chosen to make a clear distinction from other uses of the word Consciousness.
…In other words => During Perceiving of The External World => This resulting Partial Fit Problem Solution, is typically a Mental Model of “What Is Out There”, and in this case results in a Generated, Constructed, Created, “Primary Consciousness” .
…Please see below, Chart Which Compares Various Authors Own Discussed Types of Consciousness.
… (Please also see Mental Model other places on This Document, and Wikipedia Blue Link next down.)
… (Hypotheses) In Human Understandable Words, We Can Say, => During all times, there is a Slide to Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solutions, based on A General Problem Solving Brain’s “Quality Measure of “the Degree of Partial Fit”, which we herein will call “ Fitness ”: This is “The Quality of Fit” of the incoming the sensory input, to the developing Mental Model: And if of sufficient Quality (i.e. sufficient Fitness), The Problem Solving Brain’s Response To Sensory Input From Our External Environment, will give us (as Mental Arrival) typically a Mental Model of “What Is Out There”, and in this case results in a Generated, Constructed, Created, Mental Arrival Of Primary Consciousness.
…We can suppose that the Total Quality of Fit is raised by, spreading activation to include other parts of memory that DO FIT: And (hypothesis), thus assemble an ever Better & Better Partial Fit, which increases to an Optimal (Best or Near Best) Partial Fit Problem Solution, of the composite memory parts, leading to a Solution having a High Total Quality Measure, and if of sufficient Quality (i.e. sufficient Fitness), arrive into Consciousness.
…Of course the parts that “DON’T FIT”, reduce the “Quality Measure of Fit”, i.e. reduce the Total Mental Solution Fitness, and may result in NO Mental Arrival, of “What Is Out There”. This “reduce”, in most cases, should not be considered as ”Perceptual Blindness”, which is a total failure to see “What Is There”!..
… In Human Terms, This “Reduce”, May Be (Alternately) Viewed As A Sort Of ~ Trial And Error, To Step By Step, Fill In, And Slide To Better And Better Partial Fit, To The Final Mental Arrival, Of The Final Mental Model Of What’s There. Wherein, the parts that “don’t fit (hypothesis) are replaced by those that do.

SUMMARY: For The problem Solving Brain => A Partial Fit Problem Solution, Is Used To Start A Process, That By Spreading Activation, Builds To A Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solutions: Of Course => ALL The While This Still Is A Partial Fit Problem Solution, Just Better And Better. Examples Of This Are Discussed And Demonstrated With Camouflage Photos, Click Here & AFTER This WebPage Comes Up, Scroll Down To => TAKING UP THE TOPIC OF => ANIMAL CAMOUFLAGE

Concerning Our Perceiving Of The EXTERNAL World => When Any On-Coming Partial Fit Problem Solution, Is Of Sufficient Quality, It Mentally Arrives Into Our Conscious Mind (Called herein Primary 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!

AND: Once We Fully Understand The Above Creative “Partial Fit Problem Solution + Pattern Match + Partial Fit + Trial Fill In” Process, And Its Continued Optimizing, With Additional, “Trial And Error Fill-In”, We Can Advance To => PROPOSITION 4b): =>

PROPOSITION 4b): From The Above => AND Consistent With What Is Observed => NOW We Can GENERALIZE =>
… Not Just Sensory Input Solution (Perception) Leading to “Primary Consciousness” , But EVERY Problem Solution That Suddenly Automatically Spontaneously Mentally Arrives Into This “Primary Consciousness” ,, Was Created As Stated In The Above, SUMMARY.
(Educated Guess =>) These in-turn are to adjust a composite of various parts by trial and error, to Partial Fit Fill In to an Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solution (Answer), to achieve a Final Mental Arrival: Of Course, the most important are Creating Optimal (Best or Near Best) Solutions To The Problems Of Oncoming Life.

Wikipedia, Contributes To These Ideas With Added Information Concerning Mental Models, That Are Mental Arrival Into Our Conscious Mind =>
… A) “A mental model, is a kind of internal symbol or representation of external reality, hypothesized to play a major role in cognition, reasoning and decision-making. Kenneth Craik suggested in 1943 that the mind constructs "small-scale models" of reality that it uses to anticipate events.” <=This Wikipedia statement agrees well with what I’m saying in PROPOSITIONS 5) & 6).

Ditto For Most Of The Remainder Of This Wikipedia Page, Saying For Examples =>
… B) “1983. In the same year, Dedre Gentner and Albert Stevens edited a collection of chapters in a book also titled Mental Models. The first line of their book explains the idea further: "One function of this chapter is to belabor the obvious; people's views of the world, of themselves, of their own capabilities, and of the tasks that they are asked to perform, or topics they are asked to learn, depend heavily on the conceptualizations that they bring [from their memory] to the task." (More about this is in their book Mental Models.” …( Click Blue Link Above, To See Remainder of Wikipedia Article.)..
… C) “One view of human reasoning is that it depends on mental models. In this view, mental models can be constructed from perception, imagination, or the comprehension of discourse (Johnson-Laird, 1983).”

This specific use of “Symbol” occurs in a Wikipedia Pages, as appears in the discussions in =>

PROPOSITION 4c): Consequences Of Further GENERALIZE =>
… ALL IS PARTIAL FIT, MOVING (SLIDING) TO BETTER AND BETTER PARTIAL FIT PROBLEM SOLUTIONS =>
… Once We Understand (As Discussed This Document), The “Problem Solution + Pattern Match + Partial Fit + Trial Fill In“ Process,
… And Its Continued Improvements (Better & Better), By Means Of Additional =>“Trial And Error Fill-In”, AND Consistent With What Is Observed => We Can GENERALIZE AGAIN =>
… (Educated Guess =>)
For our EVERY physical location in the External 3D world, During Perceiving of This External World, Resulting In “Primary Consciousness” ,=> The brain is ALSO applying this same Partial Fit Process “at the OUTER EDGES of Current Perception”, but of course with less precision & resolution.
… (This process starts in the eye, which has a central area of very high resolution, with less and less resolution, further out, for a ~half-sphere periphery.)
… All this, of course is necessary for survival => In this “Partial Fit Process “at the OUTER EDGES of Current Perception”, we are thus ready, with premade expectations of what is there at the edges of => a) Both central vision & half-sphere peripheral vision, and b) Farther distance away from our current physical location, and c) in ANY 3D direction! All this in preparation for our imminent move in any direction, toward any one of these distant locations, all around us.
… We can further hypothesize, that this has been a major action & ability, since very early in the evolutionary origins of our animal ancestors’ => Their Problem Solving Brains, must have utilized the fact that, as an animal moves, distant scenery comes closer, and visual perception of it, gets mapped more accurately, until the best mapping is the current best solution to the animal’s “right before it’s very eyes’!
This means, of course, if the animal turns eyes, to a different direction, the edge mapping is steadily gets filled-in, with better and better vision, partial fit, to better & better resolution & detail. This is, of course, a fill-in of vision gaze, as the “eyes turn” and moves Its gaze, gradually “filling-in” what is essentially the beginnings of a new entire sphere of vision. =>
SIDE NOTE => … This “entire sphere of vision” is similar to what is accomplished by the 360 degree Photo Sphere Camera, which is what you see in Google Street Views (GSV).

… NOTE: The Discussion ABOVE => The Problem Solving Brain’s => “Continued Improvements (Better & Better)” => Might Be Titled => “Dynamic Quality” = “The Leading Edge Of Perception!” , Which Robert Pirsig Calls “The Cutting Edge Of Reality” !
… Which In Turn, Are Insights From Robert Pirsig’s Book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance.” =>

PROPOSITION 4d): AND Consistent With What Is Observed => We Can Further Hypothesize, In Human Understandable Terms That =>
… Each Human Eye-Fixation, Results In The Next Version of “Primary Consciousness ” .
… Each Fixation Produces An Automatic, Spontaneous, Mental Arrival, Showing A Spatial World (In Primary Consciousness), As A Problem Solution, Which Then Contributes A Respective Contribution Saved To Memory =>
… ](Educated Guesses =>) Our any one glance at our surrounding 3D Scenery, is like a photograph. And as we move around our native territory, many such glances could build up, in Brains Memory, sort of a Photo Album, of Many Photos.
… It is however, very UN-likely, that these images are separately stored in our brain this way. Far more likely, there is (starting likely at birth), the construction of a Mental Model of our surroundings, and every visual glance is (memory wise) contributing to this ever building & refining Mental Model Of The Surrounding Physical World. Each glance, each visual “scene”, is integrated into this ever growing, ever better, filling-in Mental Model, of what is all around us. We can suppose that the “fill-in’s”, are situated at the 3D Mental Model PLACE, where it best partially fits! (In fact study of vision, shows our eyes are programed to fixate on the places of greatest interest, OR those places that vision-wise need “filling in”.)
… Thus the 3D Mental Model, is gradually built up, one glance at a time, accumulated into an integrated over all 3D Mental Model of our native surroundings. This built up 3D Mental Model would (for example contain in brain memory), the equivalent of an Architects Model, of a Proposed Future City Environment.
…In particular, notice that an observer situating his eyes at any place in the City Model, can see 360 degrees, all around. Similarly, our brain’s 3D Mental Model, has this same ability, when we are situated at ANY point in our native environment! Of course our Mental 3D Model, will be quite accurate, hi resolution, some places, weak or incomplete, in others, or non-existent outside our native territory. But this does not prevent this from working, because of Partial Fit achieving Better & Better, conducts the “Fill-In” Process, even if it has to start from very small.

PROPOSITION 4e): Once We Understand, The Above “Problem Solution, Better & Better, Partial Fill-In Of (And At) The Leading Edge Of Perception!”,
… We Can ALSO Hypothesize, That This “Mapping-In”… Of (And At) … “The Periphery Leading Edge Of Perception”, Was Originally Evolutionarily Developed For Animal’s Motion & Efficient Perception During That Motion.
… But Now (hypothesis) This SAME System, Is Built Into Humans, With Virtually NO Modification. And That Being The Case, This SAME System Of “Mapping-In”… Of (And At) … “The Periphery Leading Edge Of Perception”, With Virtually NO Modification Will Work Similarly With ANY Human On-Coming Problem Of Life, ]
… (Educated Guess =>) The “abilities’ of this SAME System, is what also gives us Intellectual mental processes such as => thinking, reading, speaking, writing, mathematics, pen and paper planning & human cultural problem solving etc, as would be expected of a General Problem Solving Process!

PROPOSITION 4f): This Document You Are Currently Reading, Has An Earlier Stated Conclusion (Consistent With What Is Observed) => Which Is NOW AMENDED (UP-DATED) To The following=>
… For Life’s Oncoming “Living In This Physical World”’, Our General Problem Solving Brain, Using Vision & Other 8 Senses, Finds Best (or Near Best), Solution, which Mentally Appear as “Primary Consciousness ” : This Solution ONLY Appear Into Our “Primary Conscious” Consciousness, When The Solution Has Sufficient Quality Or Overall Coherence.
… AND into Our “Primary Conscious” , will appear solutions to Life’s Oncoming Problems: These are the Sudden Automatic Spontaneous Problem Solutions that Automatically include => Feelings, Emotions and Future Plans (Intentions) With Accompanying Emotions, & Feelings, Plus Appropriate External Body EMOTIONAL Expressions: AND along With Body Physical Adjustments, Are In Preparation For Appropriate Action(s).
… Feelings & Emotions Are Brain / Mind Preparation Signals To Our Body, Along With A Final Mind Decision => “Go – No-Go”.
… AND ALWAYS THESE ARE => “Partial-Fit Problem Solutions. (There may also be The Intellectual Achievements as listed above!)
… During Perceiving of The External World => Sometimes there is also "A FILL-IN" At The Edges of The Current Solution: For example “The Periphery Surrounding Leading Edges Of Perception!”, Whether Physical 3D Surrounding World OR The Halo Edges.
… In other words => This “Partial-Fit, Fill-In At The Periphery Edges of The Current Solution”: effectively achieves early preparation, readiness, so the perceptions system can quickly slide toward (and smoothly efficiently fill-in) the new needed solution: It can do this, because it is already partly there.
… Our Brain’s General Problem Solving System, is inherited from our animal ancestors: by Darwinian Evolutionary Development, And Thus => Since the beginning of animals on earth, their Problem Solving Brains are thus totally adjusted to the 3D features of their surroundings!
… AND TO REPEAT => Be Sure to Note Well =>This Is An Optimizing Creative Memory Cycle =>, Which Achieves New Learning, Refinement Of Skills, Better Habits, Improved, Solidified, Updated Knowledge, And Many More Examples.
… This Is Dynamic Building, From One Partial Fit Solution, To The Next (Possibly Even Better) “Partial Fit” Solutions, which become Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrivals Into primary Consciousness.
… AND, please realize this => These Solutions with Concomitant Future Plan (Intention), leading to eve Better & Better “Partial Fit” Solutions, are all automatically remembered. This remembered constitutes and ever building of knowledge base, which essentially came from a person dynamically interacting with the surrounding world.

…AND although most of Prof Jeff Speaks article is wordy obfuscation, this his final paragraph (excerpt below), nicely summarizes the Apparent (Unresolved) Current State Of The Academic Philosophic Understanding of Intention =>

…This is a view taken by many contemporary philosophers. There is a substantial body of literature devoted to the question of how, on this conception of mental states, we could have immediate knowledge of what we intend. See especially Sydney Shoemaker, ‘Self-Knowledge and “Inner Sense”: Lecture III: The Phenomenal Character of Experience’, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, 54:2 (1994). “
… “So much (Anscombe thinks), for attempts to explain non-observational knowledge by claiming that it is knowledge only of a private domain of interior acts of intention.
… How can we explain this non-observational knowledge, then? Anscombe thinks that the answer is to be found by investigating an under-explored area of ancient and medieval philosophy: practical knowledge, and practical reasoning. She takes this up beginning in §32.”

PROPOSITION 5e): Our General Problem Solving Brain Is Especially Good At Pattern Recognition, Itself A Specialized Form Of Perceptions:
…' A) Many Of Our Perceptions, In Responses To Inputs From Our 9 Senses, In Response To Our Surrounding Physical World, Are Mentally experienced as Mental Arrivals Into Conscious Mind, Herein Called “Primary Consciousness”. ''.
… But other Perceptions may arise from those Other herein discussed Problem Solution Sudden, Automatic, Spontaneous, Mental Arrivals, that will appear ADDITIONALLY INTO this “Primary Consciousness”.

In This Document You Are Currently Reading, you will see much discussion of “Perception”, and its two sub-categories =>

Both “Perception”, and “Pattern Recognition”, Are Of Course, Official Names Of Topics Discussed in a huge literature of psychology, brain research, neuroscience, cognitive science, and philosophy. And accordingly => This Document You Are Currently Reading, ALSO uses these concepts, with their standard meaning:
… ' However Please => When Reading Any Of This Literature, And You See The Word “Perception” (Or “Pattern Recognition”, You Should Remember The Discussion Of This Document, And Think => '‘‘ ““What is really happening in Perception (or Pattern Recognition) is => The Problem Solving Brain’s Finds and then Generates, Constructs, Creates => A Best Possible Partial Fit => Mental Model Of ‘What Is Out There, In The Surrounding Physical World; and this Mentally experienced as Primary Consciousness.”

PROPOSITION 5f): As Implied Above => Our Brain’s Pattern Recognition, And Indeed All Of Perception, Is An Automatic Process:
During Perceiving of The External World,=>These Mental Models Are An Automatic, Spontaneous, A Generated & Constructed & Created & Innovative Result From Perception, and/or Pattern Recognition, In Response To Real World Input To Or 9 Senses.
… AND, As Is Observed, There Is Also An Automatic “Channeling” That Helps Us Stay “Focused And Stay On-Task”, Until The Idea, Thought, OR Job At Hand Is Completely Done.
… In Other Words: Our Problem Solving Brain => Automatically Spontaneously Attends To The Big View, & Doesn’t Stop Sill Finished!
…But for this very reason, we must also notice the opposite truth, as expressed in the old Proverb =>

AND it’s reverse is thus also true =>

… This means, of course => That which is not readily available to your mind, is more difficult to see (observe, perceive), OR it is NOT seen at all! This is of course why “We Must Learn To See”, Out next topic below =>

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib.
PROPOSITION 5g): We Must Learn To See! AND This in Turn Requires Prior “Seeing’, That Will Automatically Makes The Needed (Learned) Memories.
… Implicit In This Above Discussion Is The Clearly Demonstrated Experimental Inescapable Conclusion =>
…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”.
…This is, of course, a cycle that has been mentioned previously where => Memory enables perception, which with Problem Solving Brain, can lead Perception Plus plans & actions, the experience of which is automatically saved back into memory, but now at a higher level, which we recognize it as “learning”!
… AND TO REPEAT => Be Sure to Note Well =>This Is An 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 Spiral Of Compounded, Creative, Building-On-The-(And Beyond)-Previous, Ever Improved Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Memory.

…This cycle is also discussed in the Single and Double-Loop Learning, discussed and diagramed, half way down this Wikipedia Page.

CONCLUSION FROM THE ABOVE =>
… MEMORIES OF PREVIOUS “SEEING” ARE REQUIRED FOR ANY NEW“ SEEING”: THIS BECAUSE => NEEDED MEMORIES FOR NEW “SEEING” ARE CREATED FROM PRIOR SUCCESSFUL “SEEING & KNOWING”. This is hard to put into words, because this is clearly a “chicken & egg” impasse. The impasse comes from the fact that the formation of memory requires successful perception, but perception requires those vary same memories! Somewhat over saying it => “You must know something before you can learn it!”
… And not different from => The Chicken & Egg Conundrum”, each requires the other for anything to happen! (Thus Educated Guesses =>) Something(s) must START the foundation steps that will, in a developmental upward spiral, provide the learned abilities. Something must supply the needed beginning scaffold, for the learning-memory-perception cycle to begin!
… Saying the Chicken & Egg impasse also names => What happens when we are trying to learn a new area of knowledge. In order for us to learn about a topic, we must already know a great deal about that same topic. For the same reasons, the reverse is true. The more you learn, the more you are capable of learning!
… (Educated Guess =>) The foundation for the 3 above Paragraphs comes from fact that => Any perception (seeing, learning, problem solution, etc) => Must use previous real-world experience, saved into the Brain’s Memory. These In-Brain Memories are effectively templates, that can start the Problem Solving Brain decoding for “what is out there”, and “what is to be down”: Memories of prior experience, give “nucleating sites” to initiate Partial Fit Problem Solution. In other words more “hooks”, to further “open up doors’, that then lead to new perceptions (seeing, learning, problem solution, etc).
… From the above an especially important understandings for students to know => The more they know (from previous active learning & dynamic experience), , the more they are ready to learn more!
… Of Course, All These Are A Direct Result Of => Major Properties Of The Problem Solving Brain, Which Are Fully Discussed in Above PROPOSITION 1 Thru PROPOSITION 3)

As Scientist-Philosopher Michael Polanyi Well Recognized => The Confusions That Can Come From The Above-Mentioned “Chicken & Egg Impasses”.
… Polanyi discusses the gradual recognition of the meaningful whole, which is how we work our way out from the confusing scatter of Seemingly Unrelated Pieces, to finally seeing a Whole Clear Meaning & Understanding! Again & again in Polanyi’s writing, he is showing us the “insides” of Learning To See!
… In the following excerpt by Drusilla Scott => Please take the time to see how Prof Polanyi is insightfully describing the Mental Arrivals, which he calls “Grasping” & “Joint Meaning”, which is provided into our Conscious Mind, by our Problem Solving Brain. Please note how Michael Polanyi, shows how “Confusion” is changed to “Sudden Seeing”, in Mental Arrivals, the equivalent to a ~Flash of Insight, below =>
… Polanyi Expert, Lady Drusilla Scott In Her Book “Everyman: The Common Sense Of Michael Polanyi.” helps us understand Polanyi’s Theory, which gives more insight into what is happening in Partial Fit Problem Solution. In this passage he says how at first we are first =>

… These Professor Polanyi conclusions not only tell us how individual people achieve understanding of wholes formed from the parts. And, as he shows => This is also the basis of ANY new perception, and integral to any persons gradual steps of learning, especially students. He nicely gives us a powerful view into, the inside steps, of the process.
It Is A Matter Of Fact That => Michael Polanyi Studied Well, And Clearly Understood Our Perception Processes & So Very Well Understood The Ways Of Our Problem Solving Brain!

…And although instinct comes from genetic memory, this is again the learning-memory-perception cycle, a regenerative upward spiral of ever improved memory, in this case the Genetic Memory that carries forward instinct, as we see it.)

…To Repeat: It’s the learning-memory-perception cycle, in an ever building, ever improving, refurbishment of Brain’s Memory, with each memory re-visit, (=retrieval = re-activation = refurbished & improved memory), because the new optimized solutions, can creatively build upon and extend, upon the average of previous good solutions. These creatively improved memories in people, are the base for, and lead to => learning, training, skill building, insight, formation of habits, and formation of expert performance.
…This is accomplished by the cycle of creative, innovative optimal problem solutions, which when accessed, add to & refine & refurbish the relevant memories.

…This cycle is also discussed in the Single and Double-Loop Learning, discussed and diagramed, half way down this Wikipedia Page.

…Mr Sacks describes some 5 examples of adults who are blind because of opaque eye cataracts, but have otherwise good vision facilities. These people were expected to have good vision upon surgical replacement of their opaque cataracts with clear lenses. However, at first they could only see a blur, and it took a very long time to learn how to see usefully, and even then they never had fully comfortable vision, that they enjoyed using! Like the holdover of early youth speaking accent, these people never fully adapted.

…PLEASE NOTE WELL => A person’s existing Mental Blockage, Perceptual-Blindness, Confusion, Or Doubt, often is Automatically & Spontaneously => Cleared up by the Problem Solving Brain, by simply 1) Early preparation, 2) Struggle, and 3) Then Quit & Wait!
…And then => 4) When the person comes back, minutes to hours, or the next day, their brain may, by earlier having been exposed to the confusing scattered pieces, will with wait-time, automatically, with no effort, assemble the previous “Blockages” into a New Whole Clear Understanding, just like (above mentioned) Prof Polanyi said => “the [sudden] illuminating “come-together” to full understanding” (See similar results found by Michael Polanyi, elsewhere in This Document You Are Currently Reading.)

… “Practice, Practice, Practice!!” … “Practice Makes Perfect!!!”
…In these and many more, Early Preparation (repetitive practice, plus write out paper notes, etc), will mentally get the brain ready, by putting into place what is needed, when your Problem Solving Brain “Gets-On-Stage”, and “Put-To-The-Test”!

A SUMMARY For PROPOSITION 5a, b, c, d, e, f, & g
… To Make Perception (& Partial Fit Problem Solution) Possible, Requires (Our Problem Solving Brain To) Recall Memories Of Preexisting Perceptions, Knowledge, Learning, And Skills: .. These Were Previously Saved Into Brain Memories, Which Then Are Used, Constructively (Even De-Novo Creative. Which were never before realized!), By Our Problem Solving Brain to Generate, Construct, Create => New, Ever More Further Successful Achieved Perception Partial Fit Decoding, Of =>

… To see just how Memory is actually used, you may want to review the above => PROPOSITION 3c): Which Is “My Rather Long Hypothesis”, For Brain Solution Mental Arrivals Of => “All Is Slide To Better & Better Partial Fit Problem Solution! “
… These Solutions include => Future Plans, as well as Feelings & Emotions, which together guide action, thinking, visualizing, Imagining, etc (to carry out the Future Plans), and if successful, are in turn Automatically Added Back Into & Refurbishes Memory, thus laying down Creatively, Ever Improved Brain’s Memories, for future use. (To see The FULL Statement 18 each > Do > Edit > Find > … RRC … )
… These improved memories are essential for subsequent improved levels of perception, and skill building, etc. Again, this is the learning-memory-perception cycle, a regenerative upward spiral of ever improved memory. This cycle, appears to start even before birth, with at most instincts, to both start and then temporarily guide the learning, accommodation, and adaption process.

PLEASE BE SURE TO REMEMBER THESE MAIN PRINCIPLES =>

Thesis Panorama HSG Contrib. and Emphasis.
PROPOSITION 6): Building on PROPOSITION 5), We Must Be Aware That The Power Of The Problem Solving Brain Comes From Its Creative Use Of A Massive Whole Lifetime Of Remembered Optimal (Best or Near Best) Solutions To Sensory Inputs and/or Remembered Optimal (Best or Near Best) Solutions To Life’s Oncoming Problems,
… Where Each Access Of these Remembered Solutions (herein called Memory), Results In Automatic Improvement & Modification Of That Self-Same Memory, Based On Real World Experience. The Net Effect Is “Learning” of Skills, Habits, Knowledge Etc.
… This accounts for the success of the brain’s response to sensory input for either =>

… This is most especially powerful, because each successful access of a previous creative innovative optimal Mental Model, necessarily optimal, re-constructs it again, to a new better & better optimum fit to current sensory input. This can result in a selectively refocused, more solidified Mental Models, stashed back into Newly Improved Memory.
… The Refurbished Brain’s Memory is thus Even Better, for the Next “Pattern Match, Partial Fit, Process”, that fits the memory of the previous “ trial- and- error-fill- in -of- what-was-there”!
… This is the upward spiral of learning and development of skills, habits, and expert performance. Herein this has been referred to as => “The learning-perception-memory cycle, a regenerative upward spiral of ever improved memory.
… Again, This Is =>An Optimizing Creative Memory Cycle =>, Which Achieves New Learning, Refinement Of Skills, Better Habits, Improved, Solidified, Updated Knowledge,

This Is Again => The Upward Spiral Corollary: The More You Learn, The Better You Are Able To Learn: In Essence “The Prepared Mind, Stands On The Shoulders Of Giants”, And Can See Farther And Better!
… As discussed above, this arises because the power of the Problem Solving Brain, comes from its use of a massive whole lifetime of remembered creative solutions, based on sensory inputs: Each access results in automatic, novel, innovative, indeed creative, further memory refurbishment, based on each of these new experiences, which the brain had received, decoded, and then used for creative solutions for perception & body action. (Please see in above PROPOSITION 5c), Michael Polanyi passages, showing how confusion could change to seeing, in essentially a Flash of Insight when => “ … scattered meaningless particulars; being converted into parts of a meaningful whole by a [sudden mental arrival] change of focus” .)

A PUZZLE: Since Memory Is Such A Big Part Of Perception, And Indeed All Achievements Of Mind => It Is A Puzzle, that these USES of “Memory”, are NOT much mentioned in Research Literature on Memory, or the Philosophy Literature on Memory, that I can find. (These uses of ‘(our brain’s) memory are stated in This Document you are currently reading, especially PROPOSITION 6) above),
… Is this a partial proof, that major parts of my Theory of How Our Mind Works Thesis Panorama , is yet to be discovered by others?

SIDE NOTE1: Here Please Notice => The Word ”Remember”, Has In It “RE-Member”: So When We “Remember”, The Following Is Literally (And Figuratively), What Our Problem Solving Brain Is Doing!!That

…Please notice how this fits the constructivist discussion above, where the brain brings back and RE-assembles the Members (Parts), that which were previously memorable, and thus stashed back into memory!
SIDE NOTE2: The Indo-European Linguistic Roots, Reaching Back to 4000 BC, Support The Above Re Word Re-Member:
… Google also finds book Comparative Studies in Early Germanic Languages: With a Focus On Verbal Categories, which shows this interesting etymology on page 129 => “Old English munan and its derivative gemunan, [in turn] go back to the Indo-European etymin *men-, the core meaning of which is reconstructed as 'to think”, “to be mentally active'. Cognates of this root can be found all over the Indo-European linguistic area, ranging from Old Indian (manyate 'think"_ over Old Persian (mainyahay 'think'), to Greek (μξμσνα [~mximona ] "remember') and Latin (Meminisse 'remember', to name just a few.”
… Pages 130 -132, go on to discuss how, in just this one word, earlier languages reveal the active process of our ancestors’ “thinking” and ”keeping something in ones thoughts”. Thus, as Linguist Philosopher Poet Owen Barfield so well developed, we see reflected in the history of words, how ancient humans were thinking about their thinking and remembering. Owen Barfield calls this “Evolution Of Consciousness” [of what humans can be aware of, & in history were aware of], is evident so clearly recorded in the tapestry of our English Word History, And Global Usage!
SUMMARY: From The Above Please Notice => When We “Remember”, Our Problem Solving Brain Is Re-Creating History of Words (From Etymology) => Literally (And Figuratively), Remembering Is Re-Creating The Active Process Of Our Ancestors’ In Their => “Thinking” And ”Keeping Something In Ones Thoughts”.

PROPOSITION 7b): The Single Optimum (Best or Near Best) Solution, Might Be (Hypothesis) A Concurrent Composite Of Up To Seven (Plus/Minus Two), Globally Optimized Solutions To Life’s Oncoming Problems, Which Are Presented In Consciousness.
A) Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works”, Is A Considerable Extension Of Psychology Research Conclusions Concerning Human Memory Retrieval.

But How Can The Seven Plus/Minus Two Solutions Coexist, And Not Interfere With Each-Other?
…. To Answer This, I Postulate A Law, For That Which Is Obviously Required. Came to my mind => Perhaps we can invoke a concept similar to the physics concept of superposition and apply that here.
PROPOSITION 7c): A New Law For Problem Solving Brain => “ When each Mental Arrival achieves enough strength to be conscious, it simultaneously acquires the ability =>

But, of course, it is quite difficult to imagine how the neuron substrate of these solutions, might do this.

You Can See How A) & B) Above Fit This Explanation Of Superposition =>
…. Superposition is where the net response of a system, caused by two or more stimuli (or solutions), is the sum of the responses that would have been caused by each stimulus (or solution), individually. In physics of waves (water, sound, light, radio, etc), this superposition (also called orthogonal), is where, in essence, one wave doesn’t know the others are there, and thus the result is simple addition. Thus a) no parts are missing, & b) no new “extraneous extras” are added.
…. Applying the Superposition Idea to Mind => Is the idea that a) One Mental Arrival Solution, neural substrate of one stimulus (or solutions) , does not alter the others. b) And somehow make itself impervious, with no cross integrations to or from, any other similarly endowed Mental Arrivals
…. It’s also possible that the Neural substrate of two Mental Arrivals Solutions overlap into each other, where solutions from one are added to the other to form a greater whole, yet not suppressing themselves, or anything missing. This could be something like when two transparent leaves of plastic each have something written on them and are laid atop each other; the resulting image, is a composite of the two, with nothing added or subtracted from either.
From This We See => This Hypothesis Of Holding => “Seven (Plus/Minus Two) Solutions”, Simultaneously In and Along With Primary Consciousness, Requires Considerably More A) Discussion And B) Future Research.

… For a very long time, there has not been the slightest clue just how the brain creates our Consciousness. The Australian Philosopher David Chalmers, back in 1995, made himself famous by calling this ”The Hard Problem of Consciousness” Click Here. He introduced “the term ‘hard problem’ of consciousness, and contrasted this with the ‘easy problems’ " => Which is “the explaining the brain’s ability to discriminate, integrate information, report mental states, focus attention, etc.” Click of Link to read remainder of Wikipedia on “Hard Problem of Consciousness”

PROPOSITION 8b): Concerning The "Hard Problem" Of Consciousness” => This Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, Has THIS IMPORTANT CONCLUSION =>
… As Shown By J. J. Hopfield Model => The Brain’s ~Mechanism For Generating, Constructing, Creating => Any Solution, Including Primary Consciousness, Is Deeply Submerged And Widely Dispersed In Tiny Invisible Adjustments Of Our Brain’s 100 Trillion Neuron Interconnection Points Called Synapses.
… In View Of This Neuron Sheer Complexity & Intricate Near Invisible Adjustments, For “What Is Going On” (On The Inside), We Realize That Any Attempt Study “Results of Thinking” or “How Ideas Arise” by Study of Brain’s Internal Process, Is Virtually Impossible. And Thus Will Simply Stop Asking “How It ‘Works’ Inside.“ .
… Properly Understood, This Should Put An End To Any “Hard Questions of Consciousness”, or Other Similar Philosophical Questions, Because Such Questions Are => UN-Answerable.
… With the Hopfield Model, we have a mechanism for how our Brain Finds Optimal (Best or Near Best) General Problem Solutions, and presents these Solutions as Primary Consciousness or Other Mental Arrivals Into Primary Consciousness.
…This of course gives us an explanation of “how our brain “works as viewed from the outside”. And please notice => This Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , is based ONLY on observing our Mental Processes, from the outside”
…Other than this, we have NO clue as to just how our brain “works in the inside”.
… This is because (as stated elsewhere This Document), presents the full explanations of how our brain works (as illustrated by the Hopfield Model), are widely dispersed in tiny adjustments of our brain’s 100 trillion neuron interconnections. For these reasons => Just how our brain “works”, will be forever a mystery! … Hence … It will have to be enough for us to know that => “When nature sees a need, it finds the way to supply it.” And with this, we should be content & satisfied.

… AND This Properly Understood, Will Lead Us To Finally Realize That Any “On The ‘Inside Of Brain” Answer To “The Hard Problem Of Consciousness:” OR “The Problem Of Phenomenal Experience”, Is Basically UN-Knowable.

PROPOSITION 9a): Here We Must Realize => Our Problem Solving Brain, Having Generated, Constructed, Created => Any One Optimum (Best or Near Best) General Solution For A Moment In Time, NEVER STAYS THERE.
… It’s ALWAYS Moving To BETTER & BETTER Partial Fit Solutions => As Our Brain Appropriately Responds To The Next Of “Life’s Problems Coming At Us”
… As we commonly observe in ourselves, we see a response to a previous moment in time then flowing (morphing) into a response for the next arrived moment of time in our ongoing life. For purposes of a word explanation for what is actually continuous dynamic flow, we can explain this moment to moment as a regenerative on-going cycle => At each moment in time there happened a Situation Calling For A Solution with Concomitant Future Plan (Intention), leading to Physical Body Action, which of necessity flows into a resulting NEXT problem situation, …. and so on …. for all of one’s life.
… This Is Dynamic Building, From One Partial Fit Solution, To The Next (Possibly Even Better) “Partial Fit” Solutions, which become Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrivals Into primary Consciousness.
… AND, please realize this => These Solutions with Concomitant Future Plan (Intention), leading to eve Better & Better “Partial Fit” Solutions, are all automatically remembered. This remembered constitutes and ever building of knowledge base, which essentially came from a person dynamically interacting with the surrounding world.

…Moving from one solution to a second solution, in a continuing dynamic flow (possibly by “Trial & Error” to find direction of better), can be readily observed in a person doing machine repair, carpentry, or building construction =>

a) This is where a worker, somewhat automatically, will pick up a mechanical part, {or piece of wood, or metal), and try one placement of the part (or try to get his hands into a tight spot), only to see an impasse and on-automatic, quickly try a different tack, in a nearly continuous flow cycle until success, or failure. …

b) Similar steps happen in writing composition (as I am doing now): In the dynamic process of writing composition. These “on-automatic, quickly try a different tac”, are FUN to watch as they spontaneously happen!, and come to my mind. For example => A series of needed words will Mentally Arrive, on-automatic, which then on-automatic I then type into a sentence (as I am doing now). A second later I realize (Mental Arrival), that my sentence is clumsy, or gibberish, which immediately on-automatic, leads to Mental Arrival of a better wording, which flows automatically to a few words deleted, and then more (now better) typing. … With my Spell Check turned on, automatically I notice “mis-spell” and I automatically do a click to fix-it wrong spelling, automatically move to the next spelling fix.

c) Other similar steps in the dynamic process of writing composition are => Sudden realization of bad grammar, may come mind as Mental Arrivals: Automatically, better phrasing comes to mind, which I type. These responses for correction, all nearly automatically, lead to better & better. Sometimes the realization of Better, can come minutes to hours later (as happened to me just now “out of the blue”, 2 hours later came to my mind), the word “dynamic”, which on-automatic, I have just now added into two sentences above, making needful addition, which was not realized at the time of the original sentence typing.

d) Likewise, all during this writing (and edit fixing) process, each of my Problem Solving Brain’s Optimum (Best or Near Best) Problem Solutions, were being newly stored into Memory, and are in effect New Learning, which adds to my writing composition skill, and collections of “Good Words & Phrases, for future writing.

Click Here.
… ”We said earlier that creativity is possible in all areas of human activity and not only in the arts. This is clearly true. Creative insights and advances have driven forward human culture in the sciences, in technology, in philosophy, the arts and the humanities. The history of science, indeed the essential process, is one of continuous conjectures and of reevaluations of established ideas: of new insights or information, challenging and building on existing knowledge. This is the source of the intellectual excitement and creative impulse of science: that it is concerned not only with facts, but with what count as facts; not only with observation but with explanation — with interpretation and with meaning. The processes of scientific analysis and investigation can involve the highest levels of creativity and insight. Discovery in science is not always strictly logical. It often results from unexpected leaps of imagination: from sudden moments of illumination in which the scientist grasps the answer to a problem and then sets out to verify it by calculation. This can be as true for children setting out as for experienced scientists. 2. ( << .) Creative Education NACCCE report 36
… The Same Report Offers The Following Explanation => Leap of the Imagination. Some of the most common science activities can provide opportunities for teachers to witness a creative leap of the imagination where children suddenly make a connection and move their own learning forward. Children were testing different materials to find out which one was waterproof. They used a range of materials, looked at them under a microscope and made the connection that those materials with holes allowed water to flow through and that the bigger the hole the faster the water flowed through the material. Whilst most children accepted that some fabrics were waterproof and some others were not, one child, silent for a while, obviously pondering on the different aspects of the activity, suddenly exclaimed, “We need to fill the holes to make it waterproof, if we crayoned over the fabric the wax would go into the holes”. This illustrates creative thinking in science where a child does not take the obvious route and also shows real understanding of the key idea.” ( << Information provided by the Association for Science Education.)

A SECOND LENGTHILY INTERLUDE: TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE MENTIONED AUTHORS’ RESPECTIVE CONCLUSIONS RE CONSCIOUSNESS =>

… Below Is An Excerpt From The Wikipedia (Link Above), Which Fills In Needed Details.
“Types Of Consciousness.”
… ”Many philosophers have argued that consciousness is a unitary concept that is understood intuitively by the majority of people in spite of the difficulty in defining it. Others, though, have argued that the level of disagreement about the meaning of the word indicates that it either means different things to different people (for instance, the objective versus subjective aspects of consciousness), or else is an umbrella term encompassing a variety of distinct meanings with no simple element in common.”
… ”Ned Block proposed a distinction between two types of consciousness that he called phenomenal (P-consciousness) and access (A-consciousness). P-consciousness, according to Block, is simply raw experience: it is moving, colored forms, sounds, sensations, emotions and feelings with our bodies' and responses at the center. These experiences, considered independently of any impact on behavior, are called qualia. A-consciousness, on the other hand, is the phenomenon whereby information in our minds is accessible for verbal report, reasoning, and the control of behavior. So, when we perceive, information about what we perceive is access conscious; when we introspect, information about our thoughts is access conscious; when we remember, information about the past is access conscious, and so on. Although some philosophers, such as Daniel Dennett, have disputed the validity of this distinction,[31] others have broadly accepted it. David Chalmers has argued that A-consciousness can in principle be understood in mechanistic terms, but that understanding P-consciousness is much more challenging: he calls this the hard problem of consciousness.”
… ”Some philosophers believe that Block's two types of consciousness are not the end of the story. William Lycan, for example, argued in his book Consciousness and Experience that at least eight clearly distinct types of consciousness can be identified (organism consciousness; control consciousness; consciousness of; state/event consciousness; reportability; introspective consciousness; subjective consciousness; self-consciousness)—and that even this list omits several more obscure forms.”

HSG NOTE1: From common usage, and as in Wikipedia passages above, we see that the single word “consciousness”, should NOT be applied to any ONE type of mental awareness, but rather should be seen as an umbrella term, that covers many different types mental phenomena. Left out of the Wikipedia discussion are => Self-Consciousness = State of total engrossed involvement in one’s self, such that we lose all awareness of other persons. Also a person’s involvement in “self’, may include extreme Joy / Elation / Flow (of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi ). Or perhaps go the other way, to ~complete un-awareness of self … like Zen’s “No-Mind”.
HSG NOTE2: Also left out of Wikipedia, are => Wikipedia Six Basic Emotions (Happiness / Sadness, Fear, / Anger, Surprise / Disgust,) But Wikipedia discusses other systems of basic emotions, which are additionally discussed on their WebPage.

Consciousness On-Off Switch Discovered Deep In Brain. NewScientist.com, 2 July 2014.
… “Many theories abound but most agree that consciousness has to involve the integration of activity from several brain networks, allowing us to perceive our surroundings as one single unifying experience rather than isolated sensory perceptions. …. One proponent of this idea was Francis Crick, a pioneering neuroscientist who earlier in his career had identified the structure of DNA. Just days before he died in July 2004, Crick was working on a paper that suggested our consciousness needs something akin to an orchestra conductor to bind all of our different external and internal perceptions together.”
https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22329762-700-consciousness-on-off-switch- discovered-deep-in-brain/
… NOTE: This above article also reports some interesting discoveries about Consciousness, but in addition summarizes (similar to John R Searle), important conclusions concerning the net result of => “The System That Creates What We Call Consciousness”, And it is this ‘System” that, results in what is called Primary Consciousness, (as discussed in This Document You Are Currently Reading).
… This article mentions “Integration”, and “Unifying”, which discussion nicely fit Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” ,

Additional Discussion of Primary Consciousness.
… Primary Consciousness itself, can be altered or extended by Problem Solutions, giving newly arrived perceptions, arising from sudden shifts in attention, such as would be caused by loud noises, change in illumination, new movement in the visual field, etc.
… Primary Consciousness Is mostly experienced as a Visual Scene, and Is Nearly Constantly Available. In fact, it’s always there, even With Our Eyes Closed!! … An example of how this Primary Conscious, makes our General Awareness of Self & Surroundings, is this => While I’m resting (perhaps with eyes closed), and not much thinking of anything, suddenly a new good idea may suddenly, automatically, spontaneously, come into my Primary Conscious Mind. This (as is mentioned other places on this WebPage), shows how Primary Consciousness, is a Theater Stage, onto which Mental Arrivals may appear.
… IN OTHER WORDS: Our A) Primary Consciousness, is a Theater Stage, onto which appear B) Our Other Sudden Automatic Spontaneous Mental Arrivals => Even with eyes closed, we can add into our Primary Consciousness, all manner of things visualized, imagined, or thought-about: Such as -> Our immediate surroundings, or even those times & places of history worldwide, even alien cultures … All In Our Imagination. … All purely in the Mind’s Eye! …. Of such novels and science fiction are written & read!
… Note Well => Primary Consciousness, is nearly ALWAYS present, and only truly “gone”, when we are UN-conscious, such as sleep, brain injury, brain major malfunction, or under serious influence of alcohol, toxic chemicals, neuro-toxins, or medical anesthetics. Of course, Primary Consciousness may be somewhat fuzzy, as we come back to Consciousness, or from various forms of brain malfunction, or when asleep we are suddenly startled awake.

The Neat & Absolutely Astounding & Wonderful Properties Of Primary Conscious Are That =>
… We know when we are fully awake and fully conscious, and alive, and ready for action!! We know if we are mentally clear-eyed, fully competent and mentally & physically tuned, for the task as hand, feeling of high level of preparedness. Or we know the converse, such as light-headed, fuzzy minded, dizzy, or body out of balance. We know how much we are aware of (and typically in-tune-with), all 9 senses.
… Even more wonderful (and survival functional), we know the degree to which our overall mental condition (gumption), is up to handling the tasks facing us! We know if we are skilled enough, strong enough, have enough energy, and are in the correct place for action. These is especially important in dangerous situations when, we for example => Drive a car on very busy high speed highway, fly an airplane especially at take-off or landing, operating complex machinery especially negotiating through dangerous terrain, or critical building construction site maneuvers, not to mention leadership in warfare and international disputes, etc.
… Moreover (opposite to the above), we know the degree to which our overall mental & physical condition (low-gumption), IS NOT up to handling the tasks facing us! We generally know our functional level of Mind-Body-Tension. Such as Excessive Feelings Of => Over-Excited, Agitated, Ruffled, Upset, Keyed Up, Flustered, Over Wrought, Over Angered, Sick, Fever, Etc.
… Through it all => It is important to realize that with Primary Consciousness, => We generally know our “level of competence” (or lack of it)!
… And this sense of “ready for action” (or not “ready”), arrives with EVERY Problem Solving Brain Optimal (Best or Near Best) Problem Solution, and ALWAYS right along with =>

NOTE2: For more on “You-Can-Tell-How –Well-Your-Perception-System-Is-Working,“ … > Top > Do > Edit > Find > … PROPOSITION 16b) …

SUMMARY OF THE ABOVE:
… As emphasized This Document => A) Primary Consciousness, is this always present, internal simulation of our external world, where we consciously visualize ourselves to be situated in that world. AND, into which B) Appear, our Other Sudden Automatic Spontaneous Mental Arrivals, as described throughout This Document You Are Currently Reading. Since A) Primary Consciousness and B) Other Mental Arrivals, are solutions that both appear in Consciousness, and have similar modes of creation, these need to be carefully distinguished =>

Some Added Thoughts About => Our Problem Solving Brain’s Entirely Generated, Constructed, Created => “Mental Model” Of Our External “Real World” Surroundings, Nearly Always Available As Primary Consciousness (Also On This Document Called Consciousness or Conscious Mind), Is Mostly Experienced As Vision.
… Surely primary, is our conscious perception of the full-color, 3D world around us moment by moment, even parts of it remaining even if we close our eyes. And we can deduce, that it is our ever-present & dominatingly large and continuous sensory input from the surrounding environment, that AUTOMATICALLY initiates (and controls), the resulting and ever-present Primary Consciousness.(Our Primary Consciousness “view” of our surrounding world is often called a Mental Model, of our world.) In other words, using sensory input and memory of past experiences, our Optimizing General Problem Solving Brain AUTOMATICALLY, SPONTANEOUSLY. CREATES, Primary Consciousness for us! And with this Our So Created World, We See Before Our Very Eyes!. And similarly for ALL our Other Mental arrivals.
… Overall our Primary Consciousness of the surrounding 3D world, as a Mental Model, not only shows us where we are currently located, and at the edges is ready to show us any other place we move to, all the while using, refurbishing, and updating, saved into our Brain’s Memory, as a Mental Model. In other words, our Problem Solving Brain Automatically Generates, Constructs. Creates, Our “Reality”! .
… This is the whole idea of. Our Problem Solving Brain’s Entirely => Generated, Constructed, Created Reality…. says => Our problem solving brain constructs, builds up, throughout our daily activity, our complete world in, and only in, our own minds. This leads, in turn, to the understanding that the whole universe. as we know it, strictly speaking, really exists only in our own minds.

From Wikipedia: Principles Of Mental Models.
“Mental models are based on a small set of fundamental assumptions (axioms), which distinguish them from other proposed representations in the psychology of reasoning (Byrne and Johnson-Laird, 2009). Each mental model represents a possibility. A mental model represents one possibility, capturing what is common to all the different ways in which the possibility may occur (Johnson-Laird and Byrne, 2002). Mental models are iconic, i.e., each part of a model corresponds to each part of what it represents (Johnson-Laird, 2006). Mental models are based on a principle of truth: they typically represent only those situations that are possible, and each model of a possibility represents only what is true in that possibility according to the proposition. However, mental models can represent what is false, temporarily assumed to be true, for example, in the case of counterfactual conditionals and counterfactual thinking (Byrne, 2005)”.

Concerning Our Problem Solving Brain’s Entirely Generated, Constructed, Created => “Mental Model” Of Our External “Real World” Surroundings, That Is Mostly Experienced As Vision, And Nearly Always Available As Primary Consciousness.

… This is important for ALL of us to understand how => Our normal ongoing perception of the world around us, our brain is (automatically) forming memory traces of everything we see and think.
… Simultaneously, these on-going ‘perceptions (which use previously stored]-memory-trace-contents, together are actively (problem-solving brain again), combine to generate, construct, create => our general mental model of the world around us. This ‘constructed general mental model of the world around us (then stored in memory),’ is the very ‘thing’ that, in the ongoing future, is turned around and used for decoding (second by second) our next perceptions & thinking . Now, the more I think about it, the more I realize that this truth applies to the generate, construct, create => of absolutely everything that suddenly automatically spontaneously comes into our mind. =>
[#GenConstCrtIsRPDQ]]
… In Our Problem Solving Brain, Unconscious Processes, Automatically Generates, Construct, Create, With Dual Process Theory’s “Thinking Fast” => “A Mental Model” Of The Universe Around Us, From The Get-Go… It’s ALL Built-Up By And In, Our Own Human Brain, And Nearly Always Available As Primary Consciousness.
… This Is Dynamic Building, From One Partial Fit Solution, To The Next (Possibly Even Better) “Partial Fit” Solutions, which become Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrivals Into primary Consciousness.
… AND, please realize this => These Solutions with Concomitant Future Plan (Intention), leading to eve Better & Better “Partial Fit” Solutions, are all automatically remembered. This remembered constitutes and ever building of knowledge base, which essentially came from a person dynamically interacting with the surrounding world.

This Same Conclusion, Is Also Implied In All Of Robert Pirsig’s Book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” (ZMM), Where Dynamic Quality Is The Cutting Edge Of Reality’, And Even Makes Our Reality! =>
… As Robert Pirsig says =>

… This above phrase d) is asserted TWO times in ZMM, and “ All of it. Every last bit of it .” is asserted FOUR times, so Pirsig surely must really, really, mean it !.
… AND From This, Our Readers Should Go On To Realize That This => “ Create The World In Which We Live .” => Means Our Problem Solving Brain, Generates, Constructs, Creates =>

NOTICE THE ABOVE TWO WORDS CREATES & QUALITY => THESE IS ARE CENTRAL TO THE TOPIC OFDYNAMIC QUALITY, IN ROBERT PIRSIG’S TWO BOOKS! . By Henry Gurr copied from The Sarah Vinke Biography titled => “A Woman Of Quality.”
…As Robert Pirsig explained in ZMM, It was Sarah Vinke introduces the word ‘Quality’ and what it potentially could mean. With this, Sarah herself started a new and expanded understanding and usage for the word Quality. And it is this vastly expanded meaning that is used throughout the 2nd half of ZMM. Now after ZMM came out, readers asked a host of questions, which forced Pirsig to do a tremendous amount of further thinking. His answers were written into his second book “LILA” . Now in “LILA” , Pirsig breaks Quality into two different parts, which he called Static Quality and Dynamic Quality.
…Static Quality, is everything we know and feel and understand. In his Railroad Freight Train Analogy, he calls this Static Quality, which is the contents of the railroad train on the track of Quality. He means by Static Quality, that which is fixed, it’s given, it’s here.
…In contrast to Static Quality, Pirsig introduces Dynamic Quality, which the action of our mind finding and opening up the next split second of our life. Pirsig calls this ‘the cutting edge of reality’, which could also be called the cutting edge of new awareness, or the cutting edge of life’s next experience. In his railroad train analogy, Pirsig says of Dynamic Quality, ‘it’s the very front skin of the freight train locomotive’. Thus Dynamic Quality is that which is actively and always moving forward, just as the very front of the freight train engine is always moving, always cutting, Dynamically, into new territory.
… Now To The Point => To me Mr Pirsig’s Dynamic Quality means, an action of our mind finding and opening up the next split second of our life, and thus the cutting edge of new awareness. This, of course, is an alternate but good description of the creation of our Conscious mind AND what is what is nearly always available to us as Primary Consciousness.

To Help Explain Just What He Means By “Quality’, Robert Pirsig Introduces His Railroad Freight Train Analogy, Which You Can Read In The Following ZMM Passage:

… “In my mind now is an image of a huge, long railroad train, 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 "knowledge" and subdivide in into two parts: Classic Knowledge and Romantic Knowledge.
… 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.
… This was what I was trying to get at back in South Dakota when I talked about two whole dimensions of existence. It’s two whole ways of looking at the train.
… 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. . …The leading edge is where absolutely all the action is. The leading edge contains all the infinite possibilities of the future. It contains all the history of the past. Where else could they be contained?
… The past cannot remember the past. The future can’t generate the future. The cutting edge of this instant right here and now is always nothing less than the totality of everything there is.
… Value, the leading edge of reality, is no longer an irrelevant offshoot of structure. Value is the predecessor of structure. It’s the preintellectual awareness that gives rise to it. Our structured reality is preselected on the basis of value, and really to understand structured reality requires an understanding of the value source from which it’s derived.
… One’s rational understanding of a motorcycle is therefore modified from minute to minute as one works on it and sees that a new and different rational understanding has more Quality. One doesn’t cling to old sticky ideas because one has an immediate rational basis for rejecting them. Reality isn’t static anymore. It’s not a set of ideas you have to either fight or resign yourself to. It’s made up, in part, of ideas that are expected to grow as you grow, and as we all grow, century after century. With Quality as a central undefined term, reality is, in its essential nature, not static but dynamic. And when you really understand dynamic reality you never get stuck. It has forms but the forms are capable of change.”
… NOTE: In Pirsig’s 2nd Book, He Introduced A Further Development Called “Static Quality” & “Dynamic Quality”.

SUMMARY: => QUALITY, IS ROBERT PIRSIG’S NAME FOR =>
… Our Problem Solving Brain, Unconscious Processes, Automatically, Spontaneously, Generates, Constructs, Creates => “A Mental Model” Of The Universe Around Us, From The Get-Go. It’s All Built-Up By And In, Our Own Human Brain … In Our Own Human Mind.
The Above Sentence Describes => Robert Pirsig’s Quality (Dynamic Quality)
… And as Stated Above => Mr Pirsig’s Quality, is an alternate but good description of the creation of our Conscious mind AND what is what is nearly always available to us as Primary Consciousness.

… Excerpts from .. Make This Very Point That Our Human Remember Ability => =>
NOTE: As you read this excerpt, please notice word(s), constructed, constructive, and construct =>
… ”Although people often think that memory operates like recording equipment, it is not the case. The molecular mechanisms underlying the induction and maintenance of memory are very dynamic and comprise distinct phases covering a time window from seconds to even a lifetime. In fact, research has revealed that our memories are constructed: "current hypotheses suggest that constructive processes allow individuals to simulate and imagine future episodes, happenings, and scenarios. Since the future is not an exact repetition of the past, simulation of future episodes requires a complex system that can draw on the past in a manner that flexibly extracts and recombines elements of previous experiences – a rather than a reproductive system. People can their memories when they encode them and/or when they recall them.”
… ”Cognitive neuroscientists consider memory as the retention, reactivation, and reconstruction of the experience-independent internal representation. The term of internal representation implies that such definition of memory contains two components: the expression of memory at the behavioral or conscious level, and the underpinning physical neural changes (Dudai 2007). The latter component is also called engram or memory traces (Semon 1904). Some neuroscientists and psychologists mistakenly equate the concept of engram and memory, broadly conceiving all persisting after-effects of experiences as memory; others argue against this notion that memory does not exist until it is revealed in behavior or thought (Moscovitch 2007).”
… NOTE => BOTH the above mentioned => “encode” (when originally experienced), and “recall”,(later), can possibly be with the same neuron circuitry. Thus the => … “ Convergence-divergence zones might be the neural networks where memories are [BOTH] stored and retrieved.”{See Antonio Damasio, 6 inches above.]

"constructive". “recollections” (ie to re-assemble the collection, which is essentially constructive), or "reproductive" (ie to re-produce what already existed, which is essentially constructive).
… ”Imagination [like our dreams] is the ability to produce things, peoples and clubs in the mind without any immediate input of the senses (such as seeing or hearing). It is also described as the forming of experiences in the mind, which can be recreations [ie constructive] of past experiences such as vivid memories with imagined changes or that they are completely invented. Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process. A basic training for imagination is listening to storytelling (narrative), in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to "evoke worlds"…. “
… ”Imagination is a cognitive process used in mental functioning and sometimes used in conjunction with psychological imagery. It is considered as such because it involves thinking about possibilities. The cognate term of mental imagery may be used in psychology for denoting the process of reviving in the mind of objects formerly given in sense perception. … “
… ”The notion of a "mind's eye" goes back at least to Cicero's reference to mentis oculi during his discussion of the orator's appropriate use of simile.” … “ some psychologists have preferred to describe this process as "imaging" or "imagery" or to speak of it as image (picture) “imagination”, (as opposed to productive mental imagination) … “

PROPOSITION 12a): All The While: Relevant Brain’s Memories Are Accessed, Used To Make Creative, Innovative, Improved, NEW Solutions, Which Mentally Arrive Into Consciousness, The Brain’s SELF-SAME MEMORIES ARE CORRESPONDINGLY REFURBISHED & UPDATED.
… Thus it is that in many cases => Long after the relevant body motions (or intellectual thoughts), have been completed, the relative survival value (& success) of these long ago plans, these motions, actions, thoughts becomes part of the updated memories, thus stored away for reuse, as a basis for New Future Better & Better Solutions on an ongoing basis.

… This is A Cycle Of Regenerative Upward Spiral Of Compounded, Creative, Building-On-(And Beyond)-The-Previous, Ever Improved Problem Solutions, Then Stored In Memory.

…This cycle is also discussed in the Single and Double-Loop Learning, discussed and diagramed, half way down this Wikipedia Page..

PROPOSITION 12b): In Order For Our Brain To Form Memories Of Our Life Events, We Must Be Awake & Conscious, AND Paying Fair Bit Of Attention To What Was Happening, As We Go About Life. =>
… In Other Words => A Modicum Of Conscious Attention Is Necessary, In Order To Establish Normal Brain Memory Trace, Which Will Then Be Fully Available For Creation Of Any Future Problem Solution(s) To Mentally Arrive Into Consciousness. AND =>

PROPOSITION 12d): As Is Observed, When A Person Is Drowsy Or Unconscious Or There Is => IN-Sufficient Attention (Or Distracted, Or Multi-Tasking, Etc), Our Brains Memory Of its Solution Mental Arrivals, Will Be Reduced, Weak, Or Not At All.

… Although ALL our Perceptions & Behaviour, most likely, contribute to our Learning-Memory-Perception Cycle (A Regenerative Upward Spiral Of Ever Improved Brain Memory), typically, the problem solution that CAN Mentally Arrival into Our Consciousness, are ONLY those, that previously received a fair amount of the person’s Conscious Attention, while their Brain’s Memories were originally being formed.
… In other words => For Any Future Mental Arrival Solution, to be accessible into a person’s Consciousness, of necessity, for this task at hand, the person must have been a ) Consciously Paying Attention To It, or b) At least not been doing it “On-Automatic, such as => c) Doing By Pure Habit, or During Multi-Tasking, or Otherwise During Mental Distracted Conditions.
… SUMMARY => All our actions and thoughts create memory traces. HOWEVER => Useful Explicit Brain’s Memories, that will be available to Consciousness, MUST have been created during a fairly solid degree of Conscious Attention. Of course the converse is true => Low Conscious attention, produces either no (or low) useful memory trace, that will be available to specifically Conscious Mind.

… And if Hopfield’s Model is found lacking, then we should seek a very similar model which will fit the observed facts (mentioned hereabouts), just as well. These models are more generally known as a recurrent artificial neuron networks and biological neural networks, and function as optimize-finding, problem solving, content-addressable, memory systems.

e) You’ve been talking to a person about a difficult problem, with no thought of a swing in mood. Suddenly you become aware the person is getting very angry, even before they realize this!

f) You are walking to your car, on a pleasant sunny October afternoon. with a few streaks of Cirrus Clouds paint-brush, the otherwise light blue sky. You are thinking about your future plans, but in the corner of your eye. By reflex, your eyes, jump to the brilliant blue + orange of a Sun Dog!

g) In the winter night sky, even though partly obscured by pine trees, my eye’s side-view automatically pick out, and latch onto, the major stars of the Constellation of Orion,

h) The examples a) thru h), have been a regular part of my life, showing my mind is “primed” for then. But up to about age 40, examples e) thru g) never happened to me, until after I learned about these from other persons, and started to include these in my teaching.

… This are clear demonstrations of “before and after” my being “primed”. Up till age 40, I was perceptually blind. And because of this => Such wonderful Steller Views, were NOT a part of my life.

i) Similar to h), I can now regularly hear about 6 different night time “calls” from 6 different species of frogs. Up till about age 60, these were likewise not part of my life!

j) By contrast to the above examples => You can also study your mind at work, with ~Near Miss Mental Arrivals.

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 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 Mental Arrivals As The Flash Of Insight, So Mysterious, And So Unbelievable .
… This Also Is The Reasons Why My “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation of How Our Mind Works” => Is SO Hard To Understand, Let Alone Believe!
…Moreover, fact that our UN-conscious brain processes 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.

… Supplementary Information #3, Featuring Professor James F Ross’ Book ‘Portraying Analogy’ Which Is Relevant To (And Supports), Henry S Gurr’s Unified Panorama Explanation Into How Our Mind Works.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSITIONS 17): & 18): =>
… Our EVERY thought, every perception, every plan, every body motion action, is found by the same “machinery & methods”, as various Mental Arrival Solutions (such as the Flash of Insight Or other similar): But nearly all the time, we just don’t have any feeling, or knowing, that we have “mental processes.
… A sudden Mental Arrival into our Conscious Mind, is practically the ONLY way we know there MUST HAVE BEEN UN-Conscious Problem Solving Brain Processes.
… 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 See Appendix VII Thus it is apparent that Nature, doesn’t want us to know about, or even be aware of, our brain workings.
… The general 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! This “out of mind”, is responsible for our culture not knowing much about our brain process or Mental arrivals. Philosophers especially, do not trust anything that just mysteriously ‘happens’, or totally illogically comes “out-of-the-blue.”
… Of course, if there is NO halt at a sticking point, then we have NO awareness of the on-going Unconscious Brain Processes, making non-apparent solutions, that simply come into our Conscious Mind as continuing Mental Arrivals, otherwise known as our natural conscious perceptions and thinking, or more generally Primary Consciousness. For the most part => We are simply & totally unaware that there are any Unconscious Brain Processes, making our Conscious Awareness.
… And I Believe (Hypothesis) (Came To My Mind), This Approximately .. IS .. The Explanation Of Our Experiences Of Our Conscious Mind And Consciousness. Or At Least The Best Explanation, We Are Likely To Ever Get!!

… We observe, with Darwin, evident patterns in living creation: It looks as if there was a designer (relic of Original Participation), and a purpose (teleology), but as much as we can do is => Closely study the history of life on this earth, in the rock layers, form Theoretical Models, and say “This is what we see has happened, and we see these evident patterns”, and tease out in human terms => “Here are the “reasons”, and / or “Here is what is accomplished by these ‘reasons”. =>

AND, please note well => This important “achievement” ''Mentally Arrived => ONLY after completion of very long series of writing & typing additions of many individual words (and word phrases), spread out over two years, and 6 different Save-As Files, each of which was accomplished by several writing sessions:
… AND as you can see (in above Blue Link) => None of these “Ideas” were achieved in just one writing. Rather, in each typing session, I would go as far as possible. Then, I would Save-As the document, then, ”Quit & Wait” until the next writing composition typing on my computer.

PROPOSITION 22): 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 NINE SENSES!
…
This PROPOSITION 22): 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 The Following Examples, Which Are Excerpts From PROPOSITION 16a) & 16b)

Ditto for the following =>

This are clear demonstrations of “before and after” my being “primed”. Up till age 40, I was perceptually blind. And because of this => Such wonderful Steller Views, were NOT a part of my life.

Such attention “jump-to’s” may be wrong or disappointing, yes, but still useful for seeing how much (or if), your mind & memory are “primed for action”, literally and figuratively!

… Of course the reverse, would be far more likely, but not as funny to children. (To see other poem examples => AFTER the Lewis Carroll Page comes up > Do > Edit > Find > … He thought he saw … )
The Astounding Success of Flashes of Insight, And Their Solving Of Very Important Scientific Problems, Is Illustrated In The Following Examples, Which Were Very Excitedly Told By Geology Professor Allen Dennis.
… In my Geological Research, what was confusing, nonsense, and total blindness for some 3 years, was Flash of Insight, instantly change to a very good answer, with perfect clarity, and feeling of certainty. This resulted in one of my best Geological Research Papers, because so many confusing, puzzling things, came nicely & fit together overall!
… When using some really great analysis instruments at an Arizona Research Lab, the first data point showed that our existing explanations & hypothesis were totally wrong. And after finishing the data collection and puzzling over this unexpected result for 10 days, suddenly the amazing answer suddenly came, putting this nicely together, into a far better understanding of the geology of these rocks. This sudden discovery realization & experience was Just Serendipitous!
… In preparation to lead an international group on Geological Field Trip to interesting & unusual rock formations, a realization suddenly came => These rock formations were 100 Million Years younger that anyone could have imagined. This was pretty neat! Because this had astounding new meaning for rock formations under Gondwanaland, back then.

Obviously, There Are Lots Of Incomplete Parts Of My Thinking. For Example, Just How Is It Our Conscious Mind Is Able To Keep Track Of All Our Other, On-Going Perceptions, While A Flash Of Insight (or Other Mental Arrival), Is Happening? This Conceivably Might Be Answered By The Following Hypothesis:

APPENDIX I thru XVII: => COVER MORE DISCUSSION & REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS OF THIS HENRY GURR’S THEORY OF HOW OUR MIND WORKS.

In The Following Series of Appendix’s, Are Discussed, Additional Very Important Insights And Explanations, That Come From Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, '' Included are =>

APPENDIX 0: We Share All Of Our General Problem Solving Brain Features & Abilities With The Animal Kingdom! :
… As my Memory Perception Problem Solving article says, “Because of our Darwinian Evolutionary Heritage (From The Animal Kingdom), our Human Brain and How It Works, likely has the quite similar processes, and likely uses a very similar “Biological Brain Neural Network Optimizing Problem Solving, Content Addressable, Associative Memory”.
…. =And for These Reasons => All These Characteristics And Abilities Of Human Beings, Are Shared With The Animal Kingdom [= …. Thus in the evolutionary origins of our animal ancestors’ their brains, must have utilized “only one at a time best or near best solutions”, as the single fundamental criterion for their Problem Solving Brains to achieve perception and behavior. And this most certainly has been true ever since!
… Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , strongly supports (link below) relevant Wikipedia Article on Consciousness => “On July 7, 2012, eminent scientists from different branches of neuroscience gathered at the University of Cambridge to celebrate the Francis Crick Memorial Conference, which deals with consciousness in humans and pre-linguistic consciousness in nonhuman animals. After the conference, they signed in the presence of Stephen Hawking, the 'Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness', which summarizes the most important findings of the survey: … ‘We decided to reach a consensus and make a statement directed to the public that is not scientific. It's obvious to everyone in this room that animals have consciousness, but it is not obvious to the rest of the world. It is not obvious to the rest of the Western world or the Far East. It is not obvious to the society.’ … "Convergent evidence indicates that non-human animals …, including all mammals and birds, and other creatures, … have the necessary neural substrates of consciousness and the capacity to exhibit intentional behaviors.”

Some Observations From Henry Gurr Family That Report The Problems Solving Ability Of Animals: These Are Consistent With Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” .
… As my son David types code into his new AsRock Quad-Core Computer, our cat Freddie, squeezes onto his lap. Regularly she jumps down, paces the house, and then calls for her which-ever favorite food treat. She uses her own specialized vocabulary, to express the degree of urgency or how frustrated she is with the long wait, which she is most-sure this wait is most UN-necessary! But now that its colder, in addition, she with specially worded “Meaow^” or “Meeeooww#” or “Mymmooah”, signals David to follow her, & bring his warm lap down stairs, to the warmer Family Room, and place himself onto the Morris Chair, from Gram Hippensteel, where there is added a “Sheep’s Wool Softie Pad”, albeit, man-made. If David fails his duty, Princess will, go down the steps, and “Meeoowhoa”, all the while peeking out thru, the sliding glass door, to check if he is coming!
This Tugging At David’s Heart Strings, Is Interesting, Indeed Fun, To Closely Watch & Listen, To Her Problem Solving Brain, At It’s Best Work!
… …
This Reminds Henry Gurr Of Similar Exhaustive Problem Solving Trials Of A Squirrel, Decades Ago, Trying To Get At Suzanne’s Bird Feeder. Originally it was low to the ground, jump-up successful, as well as successful access walking the support wires. We carefully removed these eating accesses, but the copious overhead tree branches, were next to be each traversed, and possible jumps to the bird feeder, closely studied, by Friend Squirrel: Who successively visited (or revisited), on 4 different trees, each of the closest ~8 leap points, where imagined leaps were fully tested, with partial pantomimed, trial head motion!! This could go on for hours, for successive days on end. Persistence, pays! Ditto for Princess Kitty’s efforts!

This Reminds Henry Gurr Of Similar Even More Ingenious & Exhaustive Problem Solving Trials Of Chimpanzees =>
… Trying To Un-Lock The Steel Food Box At Jane Goodall’s Research Site, At The Gombe Stream Game Reserve, In What Is Now Tanzania, Africa.
…A well remember a National Geographic Magazine article, about 15 years ago, showed Jane Goodall’s wooden operations building, with a screened-in observation porch. About 25 feet downhill was the steel food box (about 2 x 2 x 6 feet), with Chimps gathered around where was the lock & remote pull wire release mechanism: The Chimps naturally extensively studied the box and endlessly tried to release the pull wire and get the food.
… The article explained (indeed emphasized) how hard the Chimps worked at getting into the food box. And indeed the Ingenious Chimp Problem Solving Brains were so successful, that Jane & crew had to build and rebuild the lock & pull wire, repeatedly, to stay ahead of the Chimps! The pure intelligence & persistence of the Chimps, was endlessly successful at circumventing the human’s intelligence, at making the lock harder & harder to circumvent!
…Unfortunately, Google is unsuccessful at finding any leads to this article. Or is it a book? Send email if you can help. The best Google result so far => A Photo Of Jane Goodall Sitting On (Different Smaller) Food Box And Chimp Begging For Banana, with caption => “In friendly persuasion, David Grey Beard nudges a restraining arm, hoping to get at bananas in a hinged box, the camp's only chimp-proof storage.“

APPENDIX I: The Role Of The General Problem Solving Brain In Feelings & Emotions:
1) Feelings and emotions are a person’s own (subjective) internal sensations, always spontaneously arriving into Consciousness, along with any Problem Solution Mental Arrival. There are some 67 named consciously felt emotions, which we all have experienced & thus understand.
… As asserted above => Each Problem Solving Brain Solution (as Mental Arrival), not only will have future plans (Intention), each solution will have accompanying feelings and / or emotions, which we should well notice IS a survival-value-rated-part-of-the-solution, and becomes also part of the remembered event.
… Most of the time (as intended), the accompanying emotion may not be strong enough to be much noticed. But they are still there! (NOTE: A ~NO Emotion, is STILL a kind of Emotion, just as a Building Ground Floor (no elevation) is still an elevation.

Information About Owen Barfield’s Book “Poetic Diction”
… Barfield Discusses Poetry's Meaning In Terms Of Both His Personal Experience And Objective Standards Of Criticism.
…Poetic Diction, first published in 1928, begins by asking why we call a given grouping of words "poetry" and why these arouse "aesthetic imagination" and produce pleasure in a receptive reader. Returning always to this personal experience of poetry, Owen Barfield at the same time seeks objective standards of criticism and a theory of poetic diction in broader philosophical considerations on the relation of world and thought. His profound musings explore concerns fundamental to the understanding and appreciation of poetry, including the nature of metaphor, poetic effect, the difference between verse and prose, and the essence of meaning.

Excerpts From Bobby Matherne Review of Owen Barfield’s Poetic Diction” Which Say -> '

“Mr. Barfield Closes Out His Chapter On Poetic Diction Strangeness This Way:”
[page 177] At the risk of tedious repetition, I would insist once more that this aesthetic value of strangeness overlaps, but does not coincide with, the ancient and proverbial truism that familiarity breeds contempt. It is not correlative with wonder; for wonder is our reaction to things which we are conscious of not quite understanding, or at any rate of understanding less than we had thought. The element of strangeness in beauty has the contrary effect. It arises from contact with a different kind of consciousness from our own, different, yet not so remote that we cannot partly share it, as indeed, in such a connection, the mere word 'contact' implies. Strangeness, in fact, arouses wonder when we do not understand; aesthetic imagination when we do.
“Two of the people Barfield seems to most admire, and I would agree with him on that opinion, are Ralph Waldo Emerson and Rudolf Steiner. Emerson I discovered at eighteen when I entered college and found the bookstore there had books never found in my local rural libraries, such as a collection of Emerson's essays. Steiner I found in part due to Barfield himself and the high opinion he expressed of Steiner's writing on the evolution of consciousness and other subjects.”

[page 179] 'Language', wrote Emerson, in a flash of insight which covers practically all that has been written in these pages, 'is fossil poetry'. … Living poetry, on the other hand — the present stir of aesthetic imagination — lights up only when the normal continuum of this process is interrupted in such a manner that a kind of gap is created, and an earlier impinges directly upon a later — a more living upon a more conscious.

“Emerson's insights shared in his Essays poured an endless supply of insight into my still teenage brain which never left me.” …. Next Barfield refers the reader of Poetic Diction to the voluminous writings of Rudolf Steiner. As for myself as a reader of over 237 books of Rudolf Steiner, I can attest to an endless flood of insights I have acquired from Herr Steiner.”

[page 207] And here the reader is once more referred to the voluminous writings of Rudolf Steiner, who brought to bear upon precisely this ancient consciousness an amazing wealth of intuition, inspiration, and imagination, illuminating it out of an inexhaustible fertility in metaphor with a brilliant flood of poetic light.

“What better way of completing my review than a quote from Barfield's concluding paragraph, elaborating on what constitutes great poetry, in which he gives us a living creation to hold memorably in our hand.”

[page 181] Great poetry is the progressive incarnation of life in consciousness. Hence the absolute value of aesthetic pleasure as a criterion; for before we can feel it, we must have become aware in some degree of the actual progress — not merely of its results. Over the perpetual evolution of human consciousness, which is stamping itself upon the transformation of language, the spirit of poetry hovers, forever unable to alight. It is only when we are lifted above that transformation, so that we behold it as present movement, that our startled souls feel the little pat and the throbbing, feathery warmth, which tell us that she has perched. It is only when we have risen from beholding the creature into beholding creation that our mortality catches for a moment the music of the turning spheres.

”So rare: an academic book that leaves me breathless, saying under my breath, WOW!”

******** END Bobby Matherne Review Excerpts ********

To Mr Matherne’s Words, I Henry Gurr, Can Only Fully Agree!! WOW!!! WOW!!!!
… A closing thought, came to my mind, as I type the above => The reason Owen Barfield’s book “Poetic Diction” (written 1923), remains highly relevant & current in our times, is that Barfield “got-hold-of” a correct theory, when few others had a clue! This remains true of all of Barfield’s works!

APPENDIX II: Observations That Continue The Ideas Of (and Are In Support Of), PROPOSITION 19) => Where It is Noteworthy & Quite Amazing =>

A) The Problem Solving Brain Will Automatically Usually & Repeatedly Bring-Back To Our Minds, Important UN-Finished Business, Regrets We Wish Would Not Have Happened, Loose-Ends, or Other Needful Actions That Must Be Done!

B) And Just As Amazingly, These Above Mentioned Reminders Will STOP Once Satisfactory Completion (or Problem Resolution), Has Been Properly Fulfilled !
… Of course all this is quite functional, and exactly what should happen in a well-balanced, well-integrated, indeed intelligent organism. And in essence these ( “Usually & Repeatedly Bring-Back To Our Minds” ), are similar in function to Mental Arrival Future Plans (Intentions), bur merely arrived at by a different route.
… And we should immediately note (for the above ”The Reminders Will STOP” ) => Here is a case where => The brain mechanism for doing achieving the Stop can NOT be ordinary habituation (operant conditioning), which would reinforce and make stronger the reminders, to do it again. Wikipedia article on memory supports this saying => “Also relevant is the Zeigarnik effect which states that people remember uncompleted or interrupted tasks better than completed ones.”

… So … Pay Attention … You Will Be Amazed … Indeed You Will Observe That => Automatically These Spontaneous & Repeated Reminders, Will Mentally Arrival Into Consciousness, Such As => Reminders of :

… So. Automatically & spontaneously your Problem Solving Brain will remind you of these major (or minor) UN-correct situations, “A-Problem Requiring Attention”: And the Reminders will automatically be there, by Mental Arrivals.
… And, typically these Reminders will be enough to start the process and if possible, carry these to completion => Fix, repair, resolve, or other forms of get-ti-done.
… Of course many “regrets”, or “losses” or “grievances”, or “accidents past”, are permanently UN-reparable, so these keep coming back to mind, as nagging, worrying, weights! And depending on circumstances, these may lead to “psychological problems”, requiring professional counseling. Especially UN-Resolvable, are all too often the after effects of a chaotic, troubled childhood, alcoholic parents being high on the list.

Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, guesstimate, stereotyping, profiling, or common sense.

… There Are Many Reason Why Our Conscious Mind (~5% Of Brain), On Purpose, Does Not Know, Or Have Even The Slightest Hint Of What Our UN-Conscious Mind. (~95% Of Brain) Is Doing, Until After The Problem Solution Has Suddenly Automatically Spontaneously & Completely Come Into Mind, As A Mental Arrival.

SUMMARY: => After the Problem Solution is fully presented as a Sudden, Automatic, Spontaneous, Mental Arrival, the fully formed Solution itself is UN-Changeable), But subsequent Conscious Mind activity can actually alter, stop, improve, and/or redirect the Future Plans (or Body Motion), that came with the Original Solution. In fact, these TWO “Systems” work in parallel, and potentially one of the “Systems” can improve upon (or even go beyond), the other is highly functional, and just what we want ! .

Appendix IX: Some Important Consequences of Fact That Our UN-Conscious Brain Processes Are Hidden From Us.
… In an email to Mr Jerry Rudolph, I expanded upon many of the ideas discussed on This Document You Are Currently Reading. The following, spontaneously came to my mind, =>:
“We Are Trained By Our Culture To Ignore Our Subjective Mental Workings, Such As The Flash Of Insight, And Other Similar Mental Arrivals: ” We thus are solidly deprived of one of the primary indicators of the workings of our UN-Conscious Mind!! Later more explanations came to my mind => This tendency to ignore the workings of the UN-Conscious, happens for many of the same reasons that our culture (including philosophers, scientists, & other experts), tend to ignore Eastern Thought & Ways, as is mentioned above:
… At Which Point Came To My Mind This =>
Linguist Philosopher Poet Owen Barfield’s Conclusion A Regarding Early Peoples, Say Before 10,000 Years Ago =>
An All Encompassing World View Called Original Participation, where-in,. people didn’t have a mind, as we know it. From Barfield, the “lived reality” of earlier people, was “inspiration”, the literal “in-coming of the spirit” that controlled their body. This was for earlier people, what we would call psychology, and for them all that was needed. But with the Enlightenment and development of Science, there was a gradual Elimination of Participation, mostly accomplished say 300 years ago.
… Because of the “Elimination of Participation, here became a conceptual void, which has only been filled-in by a gradual discovery of such concepts, as Mind, and Conscious versus UN-Conscious, and many Dualisms, the worst is the Subject versus Object split.
… Borrowing some of my words from Sarah Vinke Biography, let’s look at the history of this => In ancient times, Greek philosophers (perhaps aware of the failure of Original Participation), decided that what we need to do is become very definite, very explicit, to write things out. And be very Logical, and ‘UN-Subjective’. In other words, the beginnings of Modern Science. ( To Learn More About Owen Barfield’s Ideas Regarding Early Peoples, and Their World View Called Participation, Click Here

And The Whole Drive Of Our Western Civilization, And Specifically Western Philosophy, Came Down To A Demand For Very Clear, Explicit Objective (I.E. Scientific) Answers To Everything.
… And they decided there should be NO subjective anything: NO wishy-washy, fuzzy, opinionated, wilo-the-wisp, subjective, allowed anywhere. And absolutely not allowed, was Participation, and other subjective phenomena, which just ‘happens’ in our mind or arrives from our UN-Trustworthy … UN-conscious … or ‘just appears’ ‘miraculously’ … like a Flash of Insight & other Mental Arrivals, which totally, ill-logically, ‘comes out-of-the-blue’.
… In our Western Civilization => There was a gradually building fixation, to only trust language, logic, science mathematics, and ‘objective thinking’ (ie Logic, Science, & Math). Thus, various forms of ‘subjectivity’, including the flash of insight, and things that are related to the flash of insight: were ignored, precisely because these did not involve objective thinking in words & logic.
… AND this “Ignoring” was made much worse by “scientific” assumption that => ONLY Material Object were “Real”, and Subjective Qualities, existed only in persons minds, and thus were UN-Real, and thus mostly ignorable! But as pointed out by many authors, this is wrong-headed. Owen Barfield, Robert Pirsig, and most especially, Michael Polanyi, who says this thrust has gone way too far, and must be corrected.

NOTE: Robert Pirsig, In His “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” (ZMM), Shows Why & How Subjective Qualities Are Important, Indeed VERY Important !!
… Robert Pirsig Even Maintains That Value, And His Idea Of Quality (Properly Understood), Are Potentially Even MORE REAL Than Material Objects!
… Author Pirsig Goes On To Give Full Explanation Of =>
How We Can (With Problem Solving Brain), Immediately “See” & "Know => “Value”, “Quality”, “What Is ~Best” =>
And “How To Work ~Best”, “With Our Own God Given Body And Mind”. .
… These major topics, are very well explicated by Mr. Pirsig. And thus, in reading ZMM, you may eventually be convinced, that the above listed Subjective Qualities, are indeed “real”, just as real as your own hand! And thus see that nearly all Subjective Qualities are on a par with “Objective Realities” !!
http://venturearete.org/ResearchProjects/ProfessorGurr/Documents/WhatZMMAbout

Thus, Robert Pirsig In His Book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” (ZMM), Has Much To Teach Us About This Very ‘ILL-Logical’ Flash Of Insight, Which He Calles “Crystallization” (And Which Owen Barfield Calls “Inspiration”.)
… In Fact Mr. Pirsig’s Quality, Is His Name For What Our Problem Solving Brain Accomplishes,
… And Overall Well Fits Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , As Presented In This Document You Are Currently Reading.
… But Pirsig’s whole subjective idea of Quality, provides even more putative reasons for these supposedly “scientific objective thinkers”, to reject and ignore Pirsig, and all of his book “Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance” Ditto, for Owen Barfield, and Michael Polanyi.

… And This Brings To Mind Thomas Kuhn’s Book “Structure Of Scientific Revolutions”, which does a very good job at explaining the in’s and out’s of how and why, at first the majority of practicing scientists, as a matter of multiply demonstrated facts, reject and ignore new important major scientific discoveries & related new theories. It took me a long time to realize that what Dr Kuhn was saying, ALSO applied to why Pirsig, Barfield, and Polanyi get ignored.

… Now We Are Back To What I Said Above About Western Readers Not See (Ie Blind To), The Virtues Of Eastern Thought, Because They See ONLY Their Own Western Scientific Paradigm: My Self here starts to generate answers, in a series of thoughts, came to my mind ~=>
… “Essentially, a person can only see, what they have been trained to see:” Thus => “Nearly all persons (including the philosophers, scientists, & other experts), in our Western Society, have been trained by their Western Culture to see something that was widely considered as better, namely to ONLY trust language, logic, science mathematics, and ‘objective thinking’: This had been totally decided upon, ever since the start of the Scientific Revolution.
… Of course the decision to do this was because of the obvious and astounding success of Science and its productive twin Technology, for the last ~300 years!... However this “astounding success” doesn’t mean there are not other additional ‘ways” that might add to the success of science, such as => The above mentioned “Subjective Qualities”, that indeed “real”, just as real as your own hand!
… However =>

… Thus again => “High recommendations for, the works of Owen Barfield, Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig, Morris Berman, and others, who discuss => Just how IN-Sufficient is this “Scientific” turn of Western Culture is, and offer us very constructive ways for us to do Better!.

A) The ZMM Passages Below 1), 2), 3) & 4) Point To Our Ability To See “What Is Good” And Show This Is Closely Related The Ability To See “What Is.=> Best Or Near Best” .

[ Important => Because Mr Pirsig is saying that your Problem Solving Brain will, automatically, spontaneously, find a Solution (Answer), that is Best or Near Best.]

As You Read Next Below, Please Know That => “Quality” is Mr. Pirsig’s name for the automatic problem-solving action of our mind: Also in the below Mr. Pirsig sometimes uses “Value” as a word equivalent to his use of “Quality”.
… But ALSO carefully study Mr. Pirsig’s use of word “Quality” AND see that this an action of the brain, as it’s Problem Solving Moves Forward: This, as well as other aspects of Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” , are seen in the next 2 passage =>

“Unless you are a real master at staying stuck you can’t prevent this. The fear of stuckness is needless because the longer you stay stuck the more you see the Quality-reality that gets you unstuck every time.”
[ Important => Quality IS Reality Itself!! In the operation of Quality, you Problem Solving Brain, has connected with what is Really There!! ]

“He read: “

“The quality that can be defined is not the Absolute Quality. “
“That was what he had said. “
“The names that can be given it are not Absolute names. ''
'' “It is the origin of heaven and earth. [Problem Solving Brain Moving Forward.]
“When named it is the mother of all things . . . “ .
“Exactly. “
“Quality [Romantic Quality] and its manifestations [Classic Quality] are in their nature the same. It is given different names [subjects and objects] when it becomes classically manifest. “
“Romantic quality and classic quality together may be called the "mystic." “
“Reaching from mystery into deeper mystery ,it is the gate to the secret of all life. “
“Quality is all-pervading. . [Problem Solving Brain Moving Forward.] “
“And its use is inexhaustible! “
“Fathomless! “
“Like the fountainhead of all things . . . “
“Yet crystal clear like water it seems to remain. “
“I do not know whose Son it is. “
“An image of what existed before God. “
… “Continuously, continuously it seems to remain. Draw upon it and it serves you with ease.” . [Problem Solving Brain Moving Forward.]. .
“Looked at but cannot be seen . . . listened to but cannot be heard . . . grasped at but cannot be touched . . . these three elude all our inquiries and hence blend and become one. “
“Not by its rising is there light, “
“Not by its sinking is there darkness “
“Unceasing, continuous “
“It cannot be defined “
“And reverts again into the realm of nothingness “
“That is why it is called the form of the formless “
“The image of nothingness “
“That is why it is called elusive “
“Meet it and you do not see its face “
“Follow it and you do not see its back “
“He who holds fast to the quality of old “
“Is able to know the primeval beginnings “
“Which are the continuity of quality. “ [Problem Solving Brain Moving Forward.]

“Phædrus read on through line after line, verse after verse of this, watched them match, fit, slip into place. Exactly. This was what he meant. This was what he’d been saying all along, only poorly, mechanistically. There was nothing vague or inexact about this book. It was as precise and definite as it could be. It was what he had been saying, only in a different language with different roots and origins. He was from another valley seeing what was in this valley, not now as a story told by strangers but as a part of the valley he was from. He was seeing it all. “
“He had broken the code “
“He read on. Line after line. Page after page. Not a discrepancy. What he had been talking about all the time as Quality .” [Problem Solving Brain Moving Forward.] “was here the Tao, the great central generating force of all religions, Oriental and Occidental, past and present, all knowledge, everything. “

ATTENTION: IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Above in 2) & 5), Mr. Pirsig says => “Your Mind Will Naturally And Freely Move Toward A Solution.”
… Here Mr. Pirsig is pointing to the fact that our General Problem Solving Brain, given a “Quit & Wait”, plus given enough time, WILL automatically & spontaneously, find a good solution, which will then Mentally Arrive into Consciousness! Which is, of course, entirely consistent with Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”.
… AND most especially Mr. Pirsig is pointing to is => The important method of => We Must Prepare, Study, And Struggle, THEN QUIT & WAIT !! …. See Below =>

APPENDIX XI: QUIT & WAIT !!
… IN The Classical Study Of Problem Solving, It Has Been Long Known That => We Must With Extensive Effort => Prepare, Study, And Struggle, THEN QUIT & WAIT !! =>
… AN ANSWER, A GOOD ANSWER, WILL COME =>
… AUTOMATICALLY & SPONTANEOUSLY !!
… WHEN YOU LEAST EXPTCT IT, PERHAPS IN A QUIET MOMENT !!
… This this is confirmed in the Literature as follows =.

A) The “Quit & Wait”, In The Literature On Problem Solving, Is Known As “Incubation”: Wikipedia Says The Creative Problem Solving Steps Are => Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, And Verification. As In This Passage=>
… In psychology, incubation refers to the unconscious processing of problems, when they are set aside [Quit] for a period of time [Wait], that may lead to insights. It was originally proposed by Graham Wallas in 1926 as one of his four stages of the creative process: preparation, incubation, illumination [i.e.. Flash of Insight], Mental Arrival], and verification.[1] Incubation is related to intuition and insight in that it is the unconscious part of a process whereby an intuition may become validated as an insight [i.e.. Flash of Insight], Mental Arrival]. Incubation substantially increases the odds of solving a problem, and benefits from long incubation periods with low cognitive workloads.]

B) Some VERY Interesting & Valuable History, In Wikipedia Page About Jacqies Hadamard, In Section Titled => “On Creativity”. In his book “Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field. “
… Jacques Salomon Hadamard was a French mathematician who made major contributions in number theory, complex analysis, differential geometry and partial differential equations.
… Hadamard [became interested in how mathematicians actually did Problem Solving. He] uses the results of introspection to study mathematical thought processes,[6]: 2  and tries to report and interpret observations, personal or gathered from other scholars engaged in the work of invention.[6]: 133  In sharp contrast to authors who identify language and cognition, he describes his own mathematical thinking as largely wordless, often accompanied by mental images that represent the entire solution to a problem. He surveyed 100 of the leading physicists of the day (approximately year 1900), asking them how they did their work.
… Hadamard described the experiences of the mathematicians/theoretical physicists Carl Friedrich Gauss, Hermann von Helmholtz, Henri Poincaré and others as viewing entire solutions with "sudden spontaneousness".
… Hadamard described the process as having four steps of the five-step Graham Wallas creative process model, with the first three also having been put forth by Helmholtz:[6]: 56  Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification.

So There You Have It: These Above Experts Confirm Henry Gurr’s Saying ~28 Times (In This WebPage) “The Importance Of => ‘QUIT & WAIT’.
… … … …

HERE IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE => Mr. PIRSIG HAS HIS OWN VERSIONS OF QUIT & WAIT:
A) Above in 6), Mr. Pirsig says =>
… “[A Solution To The Problem Of Stuckness …] You Don’t Have To Go Fishing, Of Course, To Fix Your Motorcycle. A Cup Of Coffee, A Walk Around The Block, Sometimes Just Putting Off The Job For Five Minutes Of Silence Is Enough.”
… Here Mr. Pirsig is pointing to the fact that our General Problem Solving Brain, given “some temporary diversion (i.e. “Quit”) from the direct work of Trouble-Shooting”. This is essentially, some “break time”, essentially (Wait”), will allow the Brain “quiet time” to automatically & spontaneously, find a good solution, which will then Mentally Arrive into Consciousness!
B) Later In ZMM, Mr. Pirsig says =>
… “Boredom means you’re off the Quality track, you’re not seeing things freshly, you’ve lost your "beginner’s mind" and your motorcycle is in great danger. Boredom means your gumption supply is low and must be replenished before anything else is done.”
“When you’re bored, stop! ” [Quit] “Go to a show. Turn on the TV. Call it a day. ” [Wait] “Do anything but work on that machine. ”
B) Earlier In ZMM, Mr. Pirsig Reports Phaedrus Conclusions About Teaching English At Montana State College. =>
… “When spontaneity and individuality and really good original stuff occurred in a classroom it was in spite of the instruction, not because of it. This seemed to make sense. He was ready to resign. Teaching dull conformity to hateful students wasn’t what he wanted to do.”
… “He’d heard that Reed College in Oregon withheld grades until graduation, and during the summer vacation he went there but was told the faculty was divided on the value of withholding grades and that no one was tremendously happy about the system….”
… “He was just stopped. ” [Quit &] “ Waiting. For that missing seed crystal of thought that would suddenly solidify everything. ”

… As stated above => This “Quit & Wait” is of course, entirely consistent with Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”.

… AND as a net result of the Problem Solving Brain’s good Optimal (Best or Near Best) Brain Solutions & Quality Actions, is Robert Pirsig’s => “What you are after … Peace of Mind!”

APPENDIX XII: A Discussion Of Henry Gurr’s OWN Observations
&#133;A Report Of My First & Continued Steps In => Watching For Flash Of Insight Type Mental Arrivals, AND Writing Detailed Data Records Of What Observed.
…Back in ~1970 when I was new to teaching, I went across the hall to office of Dr. Paul Wirtz, who’s specialty was early childhood education, and asked him to help me learn about teaching. Paul was into the Genetic Psychology of Jean Piaget who is rightfully very, very famous in educational circles. With Paul’s help I studied a great range of Piaget Research Methods & Results. It was in this reading that I first came aware that a young person faced with problem solving mental block, might suddenly and spontaneously “see” the correct answer. These were Flash Of Insight Type Mental Arrivals! Although Piaget did not use these terms, it was my study of Piaget, that were my first moves on the Flash Of Insight Research Track
…My Second Flash Of Insight Research Move(s). => Eventually Dr. Wirtz and I sponsored a workshop on our campus called “Logical Thought and Reasoning: How to Teach Science.” ( ** See Footnote) During the workshop I got to talking to Dr. Robert Fuller, a physicist who was the workshop leader. He said “ Watch the students. Listen to the students. Really, really listen! “ I asked him, "How do you listen? How do you know what to listen for?" He didn't tell me. In fact, I remember that he made a studied effort not to answer my repeated questions. I couldn't figure that out, but I started listening, and writing detailed data records.
…Gradually I developed a semi-clinical interview technique which I call Discover And Resolve Tutoring (DART).October 1979, where I stopped my habit of doing all the talking when trying to help a student, who for example, came for help in doing a homework problem.
…I worked out a new system. I would put the pencil in the student's hand and say to him, "Show me what you have been trying to do." I conduct the session so the student does all the writing, calculating, drawing and talking, and two important things happen: 1) The information necessary to figure out what the student knows (and doesn't know), from moment to moment, flows FROM the student TO the professor. And 2) the professor can NEVER get ahead of the student and cause additional confusion! When the student "does all the work," I assure you that the professor will always be able to tell what that student is thinking, even if wrong or fuzzy headed.
…Although the student may be confused, the professor will be able to isolate the difficulty. The professor will realize that ifs he were looking at things as was the student, the professor would be just as confused!
…This, of course, tells the professor what to do to solve the student's hang-up. In most cases, the hang-up is caused by ideas or scrambled concepts the professor would NEVER, NEVER discover any other way. The professor will know correctly & suddenly, when the cause of a student's hang up is found, because the student will have one or more of the indicators of Flash of Insight: The students blank face and motionless posture might suddenly switch to smile, posture shifts, general relaxation and expressions of relief, such as suddenly “Oh …,Now I see it!”
… The more relief that the student shows, the more severe the previous mental lock-up must have been!
…I have (written transcript) detailed data records of twenty four observations of hang-ups resolved by a sudden insight jolt, and thus have helped students over some pretty big hurdles.. A full discussion of nine of these student sudden insight jolt events, is given in Blue Link above. In fact it is these written detailed data records, notes from my teaching experience, as well as considerable literature reading, that is the factual basis for this article.
…My practice of listening, and writing detailed data records (especially if blockages & Flash Of Insight Resolutions were involve), gradually expanded from students, to ALL persons no matter where encountered, including myself, and what I was able to discover in ”The Literature”:
…So this (abovementioned) practice of “writing detailed data records” started in ~1970, has continued up to present day. I must have over 5000 written detailed data records. And there must be over 3000 of these which report cases where => Blockage, Perceptual-Blindness, Confusion, and Doubt is Suddenly, Automatically & Spontaneously => Cleared up by the Problem Solving Brain, by simple but extensive 1) Early preparation, 2) Struggle, and then 3) Quit & Wait!
…It is these written detailed data records that are the basis for what is reported in This Document you are reading now.

** Footnote: Dr. Fuller and members of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln ADAPT team conducted a workshop on our USCA Campus titled: “Logical Thought & Reasoning: A Piaget Model.”
…Dr. Robert Fuller, a physicist-educator, described the educational techniques used in his undergraduate physics program at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, called ADAPT …As stated above Fuller said to Henry Gurr => "Listen to the students. Really, really, really, "LISTEN!” Or course Henry wondered, "How do you listen? How do you know what to listen for?" In pondering these questions, I eventually stopped talking, and started listening.

A Summary Taken From Henry Gurr’s WebPage => “THE AHA IN TEACHING & TUTORING,” Which Describes => “Discover And Resolve Tutoring.” (DART)
…In people generally and especially for the student => The discovery mental event, called Flash of Insight, occurs because the processes of human information decoding (i.e., perception) have been blocked for a period of time (minutes, hours, days) and then suddenly mentally discovered is a new (and hopefully correct) perception.
… It is important for the teacher to study its occurrence because, in retrospect it shows => 1) What circumstances have caused the perceptual failure in a student, causing the perception process to halt (i.e. blockage). 2) What disabilities (i.e. perceptual blindness) occur during the failure duration, and 3) what specific steps will get perception "back on track" and keep it there. Many, even most, learning difficulties result in rigidly held specific ideas that are much different from those intended by the learning material OR in any way anticipated by the teacher!.
… “The Aha In Teaching & Tutoring, ” + The DART Tutoring Methods Outlined Herein show how to find the student's learning problem and resolve it with net reduction in anxiety.
…At first the reader may find the rules mysterious, but through actual repeated usage, the truth and utility will become evident. It is suggested that readers keep informal records of their student help sessions for later study and course improvement.

NOTE: The Ideas And Conclusions Stated In This Document You Are Currently Reading, Are True To My Own (Henry Gurr) Direct Experience. And I Believe They Are True To The Mental Workings Of Most Other Persons, And Those Corroborated By The Literature.
… Moreover, I (Henry Gurr) strongly believe the ideas & conclusions in This Document You Are Currently Reading, are valid, important, and provide and overall useful understanding, to guide my, other person’s, and especially student’s behavior. (In other words a Brain Owner’s User Manual.)
… Further, I strongly believe that anyone who well studies This Document You Are Currently Reading, will find this Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, with its ideas & conclusions true to their own direct experience! And this Theory will help people more effectively use their own mind.
… What is important about this Theory (and ANY theory explanation), is that this Theory helps a person achieve improved real-world actions, more efficient, and better results. With a good theory, you can achieve your goals & get what you want, easier and faster than with a poor one. And to know & test the truth of ANY theory, is to carefully write down, the times you see the theory “work” successfully in your own life!
… In fact, the above, are the exact reasons why I have worked SO VERY HARD, to get these ideas & conclusions written up in This Document You Are Currently Reading!

But Additionally, As Fully Discussed In This Document, The Flash Of Insight (And Similar Mental Arrivals), Are Seen To Be A Quite Valuable Research Tool (And Probe), Into The Workings Of Our Own Mind!

… Phenomenology Of Perception, That Immediately Catch My Attention. Parts Below That Are Especially Relevant To My Henry Gurr’s '' “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, Are Underlined Plus [Henry Gurr Translation & Commentary.
NOTE: Just how Merleau-Ponty own attempts to build further from the Gestalt’ist, is illustrated in his book => The Structure of Behavior , which is used, in part, to write the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy’s article on Merleau-Ponty’s work. :

The Following Are Selection Of Excerpts Relevant To Henry Gurr’s Theory.
… "Maurice Jean Jacques Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961), French philosopher and public intellectual, was the leading academic proponent of existentialism and phenomenology in post-war France. Best known for his original and influential work on embodiment, perception, and ontology, he also made important contributions to the philosophy of art, history, language, nature, and politics. .... Major influences on his thinking include Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Max Scheler, and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as neurologist Kurt Goldstein, Gestalt theorists such as Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka, and literary figures including Marcel Proust, Paul Claudel, and Paul Valéry. In turn, he influenced the post-structuralist generation of French thinkers who succeeded him, including Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Jacques Derrida, whose similarities with and debt to the later Merleau-Ponty have often been underestimated. Merleau-Ponty published two major theoretical texts during his lifetime: The Structure of Behavior (1942 SC) and Phenomenology of Perception (1945).”
… ….
… " Having rediscovered the body as expressive and intentional, Merleau-Ponty turns in Part Two of Phenomenology to the perceived world, with the aim of showing how the pre-reflective unity of co-existence that characterizes the body has as its correlate the synthesis of things and the world; “One’s own body is in the world just as the heart is in the organism” (PP: 245/209), and its expressive unity therefore also extends to the sensible world. Merleau-Ponty develops this interpretation of the sensible through detailed studies of sensing, space, and the natural and social worlds. Sensing takes place as the “co-existence” or “communion” of the body with the world that Merleau-Ponty describes as a reciprocal exchange of question and answer:”

… “the agent of perception is the pre-reflective and anonymous subjectivity of the body, which remains enmeshed in and “connatural” with the world that it perceives.
((=> Henry Gurr Comment => YES: As is said many times in This Document => Our Problem Solving Brain, uses an RRC => An Autonomous 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 Back Into Memory > Enhance & ReFurbish Memory. As a consequence, for all humans, there is truly, as Merleau-Ponty => “remains enmeshed in and “connatural” with the world that it perceives “ ))

… The senses are unified without losing their distinctness in a fashion comparable to the binocular synthesis of vision, .[<= YES ]
… “For first-person awareness, one’s anonymous perceptual engagement with the world operates as a kind of “original past, a past that has never been present” (PP: 252/252). The pre-historical pact between the body and the world informs our encounters with space, revealing a synthesis of space

As a consequence, for all humans, there is truly in Merleau-Ponty words a => “perceptual engagement with the world operates as a kind of “original past, a past that has never been present” (PP: 252/252). The pre-historical pact between the body and the world informs our encounters “)) ..

that is neither “spatialized” (as a pre-given container in which things are arranged) nor “spatializing” (like the homogenous and interchangeable relations of geometrical space).”

… “Rejecting classic approaches to time that treat it either as an objective property of things, as a psychological content, or as the product of transcendental consciousness, Merleau-Ponty return to the “field of presence” as our foundational experience of time. This field is a network of intentional relations, of “protentions” and “retentions”, in a single movement of dehiscence or self-differentiation, such that “each present reaffirms the presence of the entire past that it drives away, and anticipates the presence of the entire future or the ‘to-come ” (PP: 483/444)”.
((=> To show agreement, translated into language of Henry Gurr Theory => Any Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrival Solution has a Future Plan (an Intention for action), which anticipates entire future. Most of these Future Plan are in fact done to completion, and in process all of this is added to brain’s memory (of what is seen & experienced). The brain’s memory is creatively made better & better. . Over the years there is built up into memory a great Field of thousands of these, forming knowledge, skills, and understanding..))

… “Merleau-Ponty rejects the empiricist understanding of sensation, with its correlative “constancy hypothesis”, and the role empiricism grants to association and the projection of memory for treating the basic units of sensation as determinate atoms rather than as meaningful wholes. These wholes include ambiguities, indeterminacies, and contextual relations that defy explanation in terms of the causal action of determinate things. Intellectualism aims to provide an alternative to empiricism by introducing judgment or attention as mental activities that synthesize experience from the sensory givens,”

… “Merleau-Ponty played a central role in the dissemination of phenomenology, which he sought to integrate with Gestalt psychology, psychoanalysis, Marxism, and Saussurian linguistics. Major influences on his thinking include Henri Bergson, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Max Scheler, and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as neurologist Kurt Goldstein, Gestalt theorists such as Wolfgang Köhler and Kurt Koffka, and literary figures including ... "

… “the second area of focus in this early study. The Gestalt is “a spontaneous organization of the sensory field” in which there are “only organizations, more or less stable, more or less articulated” (NP: 193/79).
((=> To show agreement, translated into language of Henry Gurr Theory => For our Problem Solving Brain, Mental Arrival Solutions are self-organized, automatic, spontaneous, integrated, full, complete answers to the problems of life coming at us. These solutions, being holistic, is in turn, a “Gestalt” in the fullest sense of overall Gestalt Psychology. The Problem Solving Brain Mental Arrival Solutions, are typically responses to the body’s 9-senses, responding to the sensory field. of the surrounding physical world. ))

… Merleau-Ponty’s brief summary of Gestalt psychology, anticipating research presented in his first two books, emphasizes the figure-ground structure of perception, the phenomena of depth and movement, and the syncretic perception [a union or attempted fusion] of children. Nevertheless, Merleau-Ponty concludes—again citing Gurwitsch—that the epistemological framework of Gestalt psychology remains Kantian, requiring that one look “in a very different direction, for a very different solution” to the problem of the relation between the world described naturalistically and the world as perceived (NP: 198/82). Merleau-Ponty’s first book, "The Structure of Behavior" (SC), resumes the project of synthesizing and reworking the insights of Gestalt theory and phenomenology to propose an original understanding of the relationship between “consciousness” and “nature”. ...... Merleau-Ponty argues that ..... organic life and human consciousness are emergent from a natural world that is not reducible to its meaning for a mind; yet this natural world is not the causal nexus of pre-existing objective realities, since it is fundamentally composed of nested Gestalts, spontaneously emerging structures of organization at multiple levels and degrees of integration .
((=> To show agreement, translated into language of Henry Gurr Theory => In full agreement with Merleau-Ponty’s => “emergent from a natural world” and “spontaneously emerging structures of organization”, please notice what was stated earlier in This Document =>
From Prof Hopfield’s Results, The Inescapable Conclusion => Neural Networks MUST Underlie, And Be At The Basic Foundation Of A Theory Of How Our Mind Works, Since Such Fits The Following Necessary Biological Conditions:

On the one hand, the idealist critique of naturalism should be extended to the naturalistic assumptions framing Gestalt theory. On the other hand, there is a justified truth in naturalism that limits the idealist universalization of consciousness, and this is discovered when Gestalt structures are recognized to be ontologically basic and the limitations of consciousness are thereby exposed. The notion of “behavior”, taken by Merleau-Ponty as parallel to the phenomenological concept of “experience” (in explicit contrast with the American school of behaviorism), is a privileged starting point for the analysis thanks to its neutrality with respect to classical distinctions between the “mental” and the “physiological” (SC: 2/4). The [Merleau-Ponty's book] "Structure of Behavior" first critiques traditional reflex accounts of the relation between stimulus and reaction in light of the findings of Kurt Goldstein and other contemporary physiologists, arguing that the organism is not passive but imposes its own conditions between the given stimulus and the expected response, so that behavior remains inexplicable in purely anatomical or atomistic terms . .
((=> To show agreement, translated into language of Henry Gurr Theory => For our Problem Solving Brain, Mental Arrival Solutions are actively creative in the construction of => Full, complete answers to the “stimulus” of the problems of life coming at us. These solutions, being integrated & holistic, of course typically include responses to the body’s 9-senses, responding to the sensory field, of the surrounding physical world, but also creatively find new and better responses, beyond ~”expected responses”. These solutions, being a “Gestalt” in the fullest sense of overall Gestalt Psychology, being in Merleau-Ponty words a => “Creative beyond past behavior, thus are “inexplicable in purely anatomical or atomistic terms.” ))

… Merleau-Ponty instead describes the nervous system as a “field of forces” apportioned according to “modes of preferred distribution”, a model inspired by Wolfgang Köhler’s Gestalt physics (SC: 48/46). Both physiology and behavior are “forms”, that is, total processes whose properties are not the sum of those which the isolated parts would possess…. [T]here is form wherever the properties of a system are modified by every change brought about in a single one of its parts and, on the contrary, are conserved when they all change while maintaining the same relationship among themselves. (SC: 49–50/47) Form or structure therefore describes dialectical, non-linear, and dynamic relationships that can function relatively autonomously and are irreducible to linear mechanical causality (see Thompson 2007). ..
((=> To show agreement, translated into language of Henry Gurr Theory => Please see RRC next below. )).. "

… “At the level of life, form is characterized by a dialectical relation between the organism and its environment that is a function of the organism’s vital norms, its “optimal conditions of activity

…”Edmund Gustav Albrecht Husserl (/ˈhʊsɜːrl/ HUUSS-url,[18][19][20] US also /ˈhʊsərəl/ HUUSS-ər-əl,[21] German: [ˈɛtmʊnt ˈhʊsɐl];[22] 8 April 1859 – 27 April 1938[23]) was a German[24][25] philosopher and mathematician who established the school of phenomenology.
In his early work, he elaborated critiques of historicism and of psychologism in logic based on analyses of intentionality. In his mature work, he sought to develop a systematic foundational science based on the so-called phenomenological reduction. Arguing that transcendental consciousness sets the limits of all possible knowledge, Husserl redefined phenomenology as a transcendental-idealist philosophy. Husserl's thought profoundly influenced 20th-century philosophy, and he remains a notable figure in contemporary philosophy and beyond.”

C) Concerning Coordinated Behaviour While UN-Conscious, or Without Our Normal Full Mental Awareness, Or An Unconscious Mental State => Similar Perhaps To That of the Philosophic Zombies of Movie-Land:
… In addition to the above Wikipedia mentioned Mental Disorders, there often happen many other human mental functionings, with appropriate coordinated body motions, but the person involved, may have very little Alert & Aware Consciousness, as is commonly understood.
These can range from =>
Sleep-Walking, Automatismm, such as => Hypnosis, driving a car with no remembered awareness, all kinds of coordinated purposeful body motions when asleep & not conscious, & likewise not remembered. etc. (The strong connection between Good Remembering (ie forming good memory traces in brain’s memory), and Paying Attention OR The Degree of Being Conscious, is taken up in PROPOSITION 12c) & 12d).

… 1) When A Person In One Of These Above C) Mentioned UN-Conscious Conditions, They Still Can Accomplish Large Ranges Of Sensible Coordinated Appropriate, Functional Body Motions, And Portions Of Normal Appearing Behaviour.
… The noteworthy difference is that these Appropriate Body Motions are accomplished with-OUT the person’s conscious awareness, like the much discussed Philosophic Zombie of Movie-Land!
… To be included here, are the numerous times daily, we as normal persons, are doing things by habit, semi automatically, while basically not paying much any attention to what we are doing. Please Note Well => This “not paying much any attention” is in many ways the equivalent of UN-Conscious Behaviour. Of course, a lot of these above (& below) listed “UN-Aware & UN-Conscious”, really are fairly common & “normal”, for most purposes!
… In addition to UN-Conscious Behaviour. Random thoughts might happen “On-Automatic”, without our Willful Conscious Realization, that these were about to happen! This includes day dreaming… For more examples > Please > Top > Do > Edit > Find > …On-Automatic …. (This can usually be done by pressing the keyboard combination Ctrl + F (or) Edit + F depending on what your computer’s keys show.)
… A Corollary To Such UN-Aware, UN-Conscious, Behavior => Such persons, who function ~Un-Awares (as discussed above), will typically have absolutely NO Explicit Memory of what happened during this time. A common example is your body motions while in normal sleep, or driving a car with no remembered awareness, between earlier and later locations (or events), which are remembered. See also abovementioned Wikipedia “Sleep-Walking” and “Automatism”

… 2) Here We Should Immediately See That These “Zombie-Like” “UN-Aware, UN-Conscious, Behavior Functionings”, Have Properties In Common With Our NORMAL “Awake, Fully Conscious Mental State & Accompanying Behavior Patterns, As Commonly Understood By Ourselves And The Persons & Our Society Around Us.

… NOTE: There are important functional reasons why we are totally un-aware of our UN-Conscious brain processes. Click here to go to Henry Gurr’s APPENDIX VII => Why Is It Necessary For The Workings Of Our Mind To Be Hidden From Us?

… 3) CONCLUSIONS => => From The Above, And Other Observations, It Happens Lots Of Times That => Coordinated Seemingly Purposeful, Body Actions, Can Be Completed, Without Its Owner Being Alert Or Aware, And Having Some Degree Of Consciousness.
… Such Can Happen, Either During Our “Normal” UN-Conscious, States Of Mind” Such As Sleep. And From All This We See That, Although Consciousness Is Quite Valuable, It Isn’t Always Required!
… One Important Exception Where Apparently Consciousness IS REQUIRED => Typically Permanent Memories, Are Mostly ONLY Created During (As Discussed Above) ” Coordinated Fully-Conscious-Aware Thoughts & Conscious Behaviour”
.. This In Turn Is Closely Related To The Facts => Generally, When Accomplishing Activities With Rather Low Conscious Attention, The Explicit Memory Trace Of What You Were Physically Doing (Or What Your Eyes Saw), Are Either Weak Or Not At All In Explicit Memory. … Examples of Low Conscious Attention Activities include => a) Driving a car half-asleep, or b) Diving while cell phone texting or c) Driving while engaged in an important conversation, d) Routine chores that are being done by habit, e) Even your body motions while in normal sleep.

C) The Reasons For Above REPLY2, Comes From An UNDERSTANDING Of An EXCEEDINGLY IMPORTANT Idea From Complexity Science’s Concept Called Emergent Properties, Which Stated Simply Are =>
… In a complex system, the behavior properties of the uppermost level are system wise allowed and supported by the lower layers, but NOT (for most part) determined by those supportive lower levels.

D) The Following Rather Long Excerpts, Concerning Emergence Should Make These Exceedingly Important Ideas Clear.
In Support Of This REPLY2, Wikipedia Excerpts Say This About Emergentism [<< Note Last 4Letters => “tism”.]
… In philosophy, emergentism is the belief in emergence, particularly as it involves consciousness and the philosophy of mind, and as [whether] it contrasts (or not) with reductionism. A property of a system is said to be emergent if it is a new outcome of some other properties of the system and their interaction, while it is itself different from them. Emergent properties are not identical with, reducible to, or deducible from the other properties. The different ways in which this independence requirement can be satisfied lead to variant types of emergence.

E) In Support Of This REPLY2, Wikipedia Excerpts Say This About Emergence [<< Note Last 5 Letters “gence”.]
… “In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own. These properties or behaviors emerge only when the parts interact in a wider whole. For example, smooth forward motion emerges when a bicycle and its rider interoperate, but neither part can produce the behavior on their own.
… ”Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry, and psychological phenomena emerge from the neurobiological phenomena of living things.
… ”In philosophy, theories that emphasize emergent properties have been called emergentism. Almost all accounts of emergentism include a form of epistemic or ontological irreducibility to the lower levels.” …. [See Emergentism above.]
… ”Philosophers often understand emergence as a claim about the etiology of a system's properties. An emergent property of a system, in this context, is one that is not a property of any component of that system, but is still a feature of the system as a whole. Nicolai Hartmann (1882-1950), one of the first modern philosophers to write on emergence, termed this a categorial novum (new category).”
… ”In 1999 Economist Jeffrey Goldstein provided a current definition of emergence in the journal Emergence. Goldstein initially defined emergence as: "the arising of novel and coherent structures, patterns and properties during the process of self-organization in complex systems".
… ”In 2002 Systems scientist Peter Corning described the qualities of Goldstein's definition in more detail: .. The common characteristics are:

… ”Peter Corning suggests a narrower definition, requiring that the components be unlike in kind (following Lewes), and that they involve division of labor between these components. He also says that living systems (like the game of chess), while emergent, cannot be reduced to underlying laws of emergence: [Corning says => ]

F) “Viability Of Strong Emergence. [Wikipedia Article Continues => ]
… ”The plausibility of strong emergence is questioned by some as contravening our usual understanding of physics. [Such as these which:] Mark A. Bedau observes:”

… END Wikipedia: Emergence

In Support of the above => Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) contributes these excerpts Concerning Emergent Properties of Complex System. =>
SEP ”1.4 Summary of British Emergentism.
… ”Let us sum up our discussion of the British Emergentists. Common to all these theorists is a layered view of nature. The world is divided into discrete strata, with fundamental physics as the base level, followed by chemistry, biology, and psychology (and possibly sociology). To each level corresponds a special science, and the levels are arranged in terms of increasing organizational complexity of matter, the bottom level being the limiting case investigated by the fundamental science of physics. As we move up the levels, the sciences become increasingly specialized, dealing only with a smaller set of increasingly complex structures with distinguishing characteristics which are the science's focus. The task of physics is to investigate the fundamental properties of the elementary constituents of nature and the laws that characterize them, whilst the task of the special sciences is to elucidate the properties had by complex material substances and the laws governing their characteristic behavior and interactions.
… Crucial to an account of emergence [Emergent Properties], however, is a view concerning the relationship of such levels.”” [Then this SEP Article, then mentions the following two ~types of Emergent Properties => ]
… ” Predictive: Emergent properties are systemic features of complex systems which could not be predicted (practically speaking; or for any finite knower; or for even an ideal knower) from the standpoint of a pre-emergent stage, despite a thorough knowledge of the features of, and laws governing, their parts.
SEP Irreducible-Pattern: ' Emergent properties and laws are systemic features of complex systems governed by true, law-like generalizations within a special science that is irreducible to fundamental physical theory for conceptual reasons. The macroscopic patterns in question cannot be captured in terms of the concepts and dynamics of physics. “
… ”A general rule of thumb in perusing the diverse recent literature on emergence is that emergence encompasses whatever striking macroscopic phenomena the theorist in question is interested in. Philosophers desire the concept to have clear application, and their different foci within the special sciences lead them to slant the notion in somewhat distinct ways. (For discussion see section 4 of this article. Go to SEP link above.)
SEP 3.1 The Standard Ontology of Emergence: Supervenience [Is] Emergentism.
… ”Recall that among the British Emergentists, Mill and Broad had a more robustly ontological conception of emergence than the notions discussed immediately above. This is not always transparent in their writings, as they sometimes use epistemological criteria for identifying the metaphysical concept they have in mind. Here we offer a composite picture that captures what is implicit or explicit in a widespread understanding of ontological emergence from that era right up to much recent writing. We dub this view “supervenience emergentism.”
… ”Ontological emergentists see the physical world as entirely constituted by physical structures, simple or composite. But composites are not (always) mere aggregates of the simples. There are layered strata, or levels, of objects, based on increasing complexity. Each new layer is a consequence of the appearance of an interacting range of ‘novel qualities.’ Their novelty is not merely temporal (such as the first instance of a particular geometric configuration), nor the first instance of a particular determinate of a familiar determinable (such as the first instance of mass 157.6819 kg in a contiguous hunk of matter). Instead, it is a novel, fundamental type of property altogether. We might say that it is ‘nonstructural,’ in that the occurrence of the property is not in any sense constituted by the occurrence of more fundamental properties and relations of the object's parts. Further, newness of property, in this sense, entails new primitive causal powers, reflected in laws which connect complex physical structures to the emergent features. (Broad's trans-ordinal laws are laws of this sort.)
… ”Emergent laws are fundamental; they are irreducible to laws characterizing properties at lower levels of complexity, even given ideal information as to boundary conditions. Since emergent features have not only same-level effects, but also effects in lower levels, some speak of the [their] view's commitment to “downward causation” (a phrase originating in Campbell 1974).
… [This SEP Article offers this handy summary => ] “We might roughly characterize the shared meaning thus: Emergent entities (properties or substances) ‘arise’ out of more fundamental entities and yet are ‘novel’ or ‘irreducible’ with respect to them.

A) Information About Owen Barfield’s FIRST Book “History In English Words”. (1926)
… ”Owen Barfield has been called “the first and last Inkling.” He was, in effect, a founding member of the 1920’s Oxford-based group, which included C. S. Lewis (who called Barfield “the best and wisest of my unofficial teachers”) and J. R. R. Tolkien (on whom Barfield’s book Poetic Diction had an appreciable impact). Often called a Christian thinker, Barfield argued for a holistic approach to language and reality—an approach at odds with the reductionist, atomistic views prevalent in Oxbridge intellectual circles at the time. History in English Words (1926), Barfield’s first nonfiction book, seeks to discover the evolution of consciousness in Western civilization by exploring the change in meanings of various Indo-Aryan words as used in the British Isles in particular. Barfield’s history in words, illustrated throughout by common English terms, is a pathway to discovering our humanity.”

1) In The BELOW Passage From Owen Barfield’s Book “History In English Words”, We Especially Notice These Phrase => “Workings Of Men's Minds” AND “Evolution Of Consciousness” : These Topics Are Barfield’s Lifetime Focus, In ALL His Book, Starting In ~1926, At Age 28. =>
… “Until a few years ago--within the memory of men still living--very little use had been made of language itself, that is to say, of the historical forms and meanings of words as interpreters both of the past and of the workings of men's minds. In our language alone, not to speak of its many companions, the past history of humanity is spread out in an imperishable map, just as the history of the mineral earth lies embedded in the layers of its outer crust. But there is this difference between the record of the rocks and the secrets which are hidden in language: Whereas the former can only give us knowledge of outward dead things—such as forgotten seas and the bodily shapes of prehistoric s— Language has preserved for us the inner, living history of our soul. It reveals the evolution of consciousness “ ―Owen Barfield
… NOTE: Especially Notice Above The Workings Of Men's Minds . This Means That Back In 1926, Owen Barfield Was Quite Aware Of ~How Our Minds Work! … Mr. Barfield’s Attention Gathered Far More Force In His Second Book (Described Next Down). There You Will See Mr. Barfield Watching The Workings Of His OWN Mental Experiences, Where He Says =>

B) Information About Owen Barfield’s SECOND Book "Poetic Diction's". (1928)

1) From "Poetic Diction's". , A Forward by Howard Nemerov, Who In Turn, Was Twice Poet Laureate Consultant To The United States Library Of Congress. Saying =>
… “Among the few poets and teachers of my acquaintance who know [Owen Barfield’s] "Poetic Diction", it has been valued not only as a secret book, but nearly as a sacred one; with a certain sense that its teaching was quite properly esoteric. ...... It is to the student willing to open this question of the imagination again, to a candid exploration, that Owen Barfield's book is directed.”

**********

The Remainder of this Appendix XVIII, Is Devoted To Further Explanation Of Owen Barfield’s Ideas, Especially Barfield’s Ability To See Into “The Workings Of Human Minds, In The Creation of Meaning” =>
… Throughout Barfield’s Books, We See Support & Confirmation of => Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”.

C) Owen Barfield’s Book “History in English Words,” [is]-“a book published when he was only twenty eight years old. [Ever since]-Barfield has been committed to the faith that "Words may be made to disgorge the past that is bottled up inside them, as coal and wine, when we kindle or drink them, yield up their bottled sunshine"

D) A Passage (Emphasizing “Meaning”), From Owen Barfield’s SECOND Book “Poetic Diction” (1929), In Preface to the Second Edition.
… The Preface to the first edition described briefly how this book “grew out of two empirical observations, first, that poetry reacts on the meanings of the words it employs, and, secondly, that there appear to be two sorts of poetry. The book itself, with it's sub-title 'A Study in Meaning', was an attempt to rationalize these observations in terms of 'the various theories of language, life and literature with which the author happened to come in touch'. Thus, it claims to present, not merely a theory of poetic diction, but a theory of poetry: and not merely a theory of poetry, but a theory of knowledge. It is as such, I see, that it must be judged.”
NOTE: During Writing His Book Poetic Diction” : (And Almost All His Books), Mr. Barfield, By The Evidence Therein, Is Very Much Attuned To => “The Emergence Of Meaning” AND “The Workings Of Mind!” '', His Own Mind And That of Other People!
… For This And Other Reasons, The Perceptive Reader Can See => In Practically All Books, Own Barfield Is Close To => “A Theory Of How Our Mind Works” ,
…AND has Conclusions That Nicely Support => Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation (Theory) of How Our Mind Works” , presented in this Document you are reading right now.

'1) In The Following Passage From “Poetic Diction” , Chapter II, Section 4, Especially Notice it’s NOT => The Workings Of Men's Minds , BUT In This Case The => The Workings Of Barfield's Mind! .But of course, all the while Barfield is helping us, as readers, to see into The Workings Of Our Own Mind!, '' especially as we are experiencing Poetry, one of Barfield’s main focus.
… As You Read Below, See If You Can Pick-Out, Barfield’s Phrases, That Describe His => Discoveries in Poetry, which are effectively => Problem Solving Brains, New Solutions, Which Suddenly Automatically Spontaneously Mentally Arrive Into Conscious Mind
… ”Thus, an introspective analysis of my experience obliges me to say that appreciation of poetry involves a 'felt change of consciousness'. The phrase must be taken with some exactness. Appreciation takes place at the actual moment of change. It is not simply that the poet enables me to see with his eyes, and so to apprehend a larger and fuller world. He may indeed do this, as we shall see later; but the actual moment of the pleasure of appreciation depends upon something rarer and more transitory. It depends on the change itself. If I pass a coil of wire between the poles of a magnet, I generate in it an electric current, but I only do so while the coil is positively moving across the lines of force. I may leave the coil at rest between the two poles and in such a position that it is thoroughly permeated by the magnetic field; but in that case no current will flow along the conductor. Current only flows when I am actually bringing the coil in or taking it away again. So it is with the poetic mood, which, like the dreams to which it has so often been compared, is kindled by the passage from one plane of consciousness to another. It [the meaning] lives during that moment of transition and then dies, and if it is to be repeated, some means must be found of renewing the transition itself.”
… ”Poetry, as a possession, as our own souls enriched, is another matter. But when it has entered as deeply as that into our being, we no longer concern ourselves with its diction. At this stage the diction has served its end and may be forgotten. For, if ever we go back to linger lovingly over the exquisite phrasing of some fragment of poesy whose essence has long been our own, and of which the spirit has become a part of our every waking moment, if we do this, is it not for the very reason that we want to renew the thrill which accompanied the first acquisition of the treasure? As our lips murmur the well-known, or it may be the long forgotten words, we are trying, whether deliberately or no, to cast ourselves back into the frame of mind which was ours before we had learnt the lesson. Why? Because we know instinctively that, if we are to feel pleasure, we must have change. Ever-lasting day can no more freshen the earth with dew than everlasting night, but the change from night to day and from day back again to night.”
… ”That we are not always successful in the wistful quest is matter of only too common experience.”

…There is a reason Owen Barfield was a member of the Inklings... this book proves his prowess in the theory of Poetic Diction. Who says new is better - in thought this is one of the best texts I have read on the theory of Poetry and why it matters! If you have more than the average interest in poetry this book is a must read... as well as a text every teacher should read (close reading a necessity or you will miss- interpret the author). I know I can hear John Ronald Reuel Tolkien saying "you must have had too much port... but it is true this is probably one of the best theory's of poetry I have read - just to warn you I was excited that I found the Elter Edda sagas and Younger Edda Sagas at a garage sale (translated and edited to English by another Oxford Scholar!

Perennial and Profound! by Daniel J. Smitherman 4.0 out of 5 stars
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2003
…By his own admission, Owen Barfield's writings can't be organized into "early" and "late" periods. He claimed that from the very first publications to the last, he was explicitly or implicitly working out his understanding of the evolution of human consciousness. His second published book, _Poetic Diction_, concerns the study of language as the record of the changing human experience of the world.
In _Poetic Diction_, Barfield argued that:
1. One defining effect of poetry is to "arouse aesthetic imagination"
2. A significant result of the interaction with the language of the poem is that the reader's awareness of the world is permanently expanded
3. The expansion of the reader's awareness correlates to the poet's own awareness of the world as articulated in the poem
Barfield supposed, further, that what may be prosaic to the author may still have a "poetic" effect on the reader, i.e., expanding the reader's awareness of the world. One consequence of these facts, Barfield argued, is that by reading, the reader perceives the world as the author perceives - or perceived - it. And if the text being read is a classical Latin text, or a Sanskrit text, for example, then the reader may experience very startling glimpses of the world as a result.
What he went on to argue was that, if we grant that this effect of poetic diction on our awareness of the world is a real effect, then we cannot escape the conclusion that the world as the authors of the Latin and Sanskrit texts was a very different world than our own. Further, he argued that one could trace those differences in the changes that languages have undergone since human languages have been recorded. Finally, by studying these changes, said Barfield, one sees that human consciousness in its first expressions in language was almost wholly perceptual and figurative.
Barfield then argued that the "poetic effect" of such ancient texts was that they make available to the reader an experience of the world that correlates to their concrete and figurative language, and that world is one that couldn't have been produced analytically and self-consciously - for instance, by superstition or some early attempts at scientific theorizing. Just as our language today expresses in myriad ways what we take to be real, so the ancient languages too.
Thus Barfield's conclusions about *poetry* are nothing at all like what contemporary academic literary theory concludes, because Barfield's conclusions are equivalent to a theory of knowledge - while contemporary literary theory denies implicitly that a theory of knowledge is even possible.
As literary theory, then, _Poetic Diction_ is only marginally relevant, if even that, because literary theorists no longer concern themselves with knowledge. As a theory of knowledge, and as a study of the significance of language and the evolution of human consciousness, _Poetic Diction_ remains a seminal work, the challenges of which have yet to be realized in but a few works even today.

Owen Barfield's Book Poetic Diction Is Truly An Astonishing Experience & Realize How Far Ahead Of It's Time & STILL IS!!

 Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2018 

…One who reads Poetic Diction from the vantage of this historical perspective is due for a truly astonishing experience!! Barfield seems to anticipate the intellectual history of the more than sixty years which separate his book from us. He has fully synthesized literary and cognitive theory. At a stroke he rejuvenated and educated the romanticism of the early 20th Century. He explains how imagination discovers truth and formulates it into valid conceptual structures. He fully realizes that such a formulation implies the building and changing of those structures and accounts for this with “Evolution Of Consciousness.”
…Here we must remember, as Barfield asserts, that the evolving mind does indeed totally create our reality, the only one we will ever know. But this is not what Barfield focuses on. He focusses on our mind’s discovery as in =>
… it rather discovers what is implicit in “spiritual reality”, through an act of imagination. The changing of language [evolving over the millennia] reflects exactly these shifting structures. Poetry allows us not merely to perceive this Evolution [of Consciousness] abstractly but to relive it through our imaginations. The experience of poetry is not so much the proof of Barfield’s theory as it is the immediate perception of the reality he delineates.
…What Barfield presents as an essay on poetry, is in fact a fully “diachronic” theory of human cognition [ie:the beginnings of a theory of how our mind works.]
…His contemporaries could not comprehend what he had done. They could not even perceive the problem he attempted to solve. We can see the problems very clearly indeed, but we as a culture have not fully considered Barfield’s contribution to their solution.
…Perhaps his voice sounds to us as though it comes from a rather distant and somewhat romantic past; it actually calls from a future of greater maturity, and hope than we can recognize through the din of our adolescent loneliness and anger. If Barfield’s theory is correct, then he should expect to gain more listeners as we “mature.”
…Even before the advent of “The New Criticism”.: Barfield’s “Poetic Diction” in context on 1929. was better attuned than they of The New Criticism were in 1928, to be able to appreciate the intricate harmonies of Barfield’s thought. The development of such schools as cognitive science, structuralism, phenomenology and deconstructionism, which all seem strangely consonant with Poetic Diction, is evidence that the time, may now be, for the literary world to discover Barfield anew!

… 'You should be aware that Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works”, ALSO (in part), wells agrees with the writings (and implied theory), of many insightful authors. They write quite perceptively about their own mode(s) of discovery and their heart felt conclusions on how we all should best use our minds. Although not written with the idea of being a Philosophy of Mind, these works in their own way, in many places, essentially contain a Theory of How Our Mind Works!!
… These Authors Have Formed Their Conclusions, From Their Own Mode Of Discovery, Independent Of Others, And Thus When We Find Portions Of Mutual Author Agreement & Support, We Have Found Significant Conclusions, Likely To Be Truth Bearing!
… The inquiring reader would do well to study the works of authors whose names and conclusions are on This Document You Are Currently Reading, : Top writers Re Mind, include => Michael Polanyi, Robert Pirsig, Owen Barfield, B F Skinner.
… Other writers Re Mind, mentioned in passing on This Document you are currently reading, include => John K Sheriff, Charles Peirce, George Lakoff.
… These and many others, offer to the resolute, penetrating reader, significant support for Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama Explanation Of How Our Mind Works” and conversely. .

In other words, there is that "something” . . . required in us to convert sensations into things; all that in the representation which is not sensation.”
… (Figuration, Barfield says, presupposes of course, that "the sense-organs must be related to the particles in such a way as to give rise to sensations" .)
