This Is A Supplementary WebPage On which are Presented Three Side Issues That The Enthusiast In The Study Of Mind May Want To Eventually Understand These =>

ISSUE1: The Conclusions of A) “Dual Process Theories” Very Well Support => B) Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama View Of How Our Mind Works.” (See below for Excerpts from Wikipedia Pages that show this.)

ISSUE2: How A) & B) Relate to C) Robert Pirsig’s “ Dynamic Quality” And Relate To =>

ISSUE3: The Huge Field Of Study Called “Constructivism (Constructivist Epistemology) ”

ISSUE1: The Conclusions of A) “Dual Process Theories” Very Well Support => B) Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama View Of How Our Mind Works” ,

… To begin to see how this could be true, please read the below Excerpts from Wikipedia.

A) Daniel Kahneman Got It Right in The Title of His Book => “Thinking, Fast and Slow “ . (2011) Click Here, For Wikipedia Article On His Book.
… ”The book's main thesis is that of a dichotomy between two modes of thought: AA) "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; BB) "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. The book delineates rational and non-rational motivations or triggers associated with each type of thinking process, and how they complement each other, … ”
… In 2012 Kahneman’s book won National Academies Communication Award :Also he won Nobel Prize and did a lot of work that is interesting.
… In the Blue Link Above => You most especially should (eventually) complete study & think about the “Two Systems”, that is seen Below the word “Summary”.
This Wikipedia says =>

B) Dual Process Theories, Are A Range Of Theories, Including Daniel Kahneman’s Book “Thinking, Fast and Slow “ .
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory |Click Here For Wikipedia Dual Process Theories.
… EXCERPT ”In psychology, a dual process theory provides an account of how thought can arise in two different ways, or as a result of two different processes. Often, the two processes consist of AA) An implicit (automatic), unconscious [very rapid] process and BB) An explicit (controlled), conscious [quite slow] process. Verbalized explicit processes or attitudes and actions may change with persuasion or education; though implicit process or attitudes usually take a long amount of time to change with the forming of new habits.
… Dual process theories can be found in social, personality, cognitive, and clinical psychology. It has also been linked with economics via prospect theory and behavioral economics, and increasingly in sociology through cultural analysis.”
… As this article explains, what is (as of ~1995), now called a Dual Process Theory, were formulate by many authors (including Khaneman) going back to William James.
… At this article’s 1/5th point, you will be very pleased to see a Huge Summary Table of The System 1 vs The System 2. This table lines up very well with, a similar listing, in the above mentioned Wikipedia Article re Khaneman’s Theory.
… The remainder of the article (after the abovementioned Huge Summary Table), is a long detailed good discussion / explanation of the what is in the Huge Summary Table, along with o/c copious references and external links.

ISSUE2: How A) Dual Process Theories & B) Henry Gurr’s Proto-Theory Relate to C) Robert Pirsig’s “ Dynamic Quality”

… IMPORTANT => You Should Have => An ESPECIALLY GOOD UNDERSTANDING Of The Subject Of “Dual Process Theory” (Including Daniel Kahneman’s Book), BECAUSE => This Is Needed To Fully Understanding Henry Gurr’s “Panorama View (Theory) Of How Our Mind Works” ,
…For you to fully comprehend, important parts the presentation on the WebPage you are reading right now, to keep oriented, you the reader to keep in mind =>

Henry Gurr’s “Proto-Theory Panorama View Of How Our Mind Works” =>
…HAS INCORPORATED IN IT, DISCUSSION OF => TWO VERY IMPORTANT BRAIN ACTIONS THAT => GENERATE (CREATE CONSTRUCT) => SIMILAR LOOKING “MENTAL AWARE VIEWS”, BUT ACCOMPLISHED WITH VASTLY DIFFERENT BRAIN PROCESSES. => … WHICH THEREFORE ARE POTENTIALLY CONFUSABLE THESE =>

… Click Here For Extensive Reading => “Our Problem Solving Brain, Unconscious Processes, Automatically Generates (Constructs Creates), ‘A Mental Model’ Of Our Universe Around Us” (Achieved In Dual Process Theory’s “Thinking Fast“), AND How This, Is Equal To Robert Pirsig’s Dynamic Quality.

In The Blue Link Above => You Will See In Constructivism, “Mental Aware Views”, Like Following Examples =>
…”Constructivism …[says] that scientific knowledge is constructed by the scientific community, which seeks to measure and construct models of the natural world. According to the constructivist, natural science, therefore, consists of mental constructs that aim to explain sensory experience and measurements.”
…”According to constructivists, the world is independent of human minds, but knowledge of the world is always a human and social construction.”
…”While not rejecting an independent reality, model-dependent realism says that we can know only an approximation of it, provided by the intermediary of models. These models evolve over time as guided by scientific inspiration and experiments.”
…NOTE: When people art thinking about Constructivism, their “Mental Aware Views”, are achieved mostly in Dual Process Theory’s “Thinking Slow“): ….By contrast, person’s Problem Solving Brain (doing Robert Pirsig’s Dynamic Quality), in responding to their Ever-Present Surroundings, Generates (Creates Constructs) “Mental Aware Views”, similar to that of Constructivism, because after all it’s the same world. These “Mental Aware Views”, are achieved mostly in Dual Process Theory’s “Thinking Fast“

In The 24 Inches Below => The More Important Ideas Are Underlined, Wherein You Will Especially See =>

”Constructivism is a view in the philosophy of science that maintains that scientific knowledge is constructed by the scientific community, which seeks to measure and construct models of the natural world. According to the constructivist, natural science, therefore, consists of mental constructs that aim to explain sensory experience and measurements.”
According to constructivists, the world is independent of human minds, but knowledge of the world is always a human and social construction. “

[ORIGIN] “The term Constructivism originates from psychology, education, and social constructivism. The expression "constructivist epistemology" was first used by Jean Piaget, 1967, with plural form in the famous article from the "Encyclopédie de la Pléiade" Logique et connaissance scientifique or "Logic and Scientific knowledge", an important text for epistemology.[citation needed] He refers directly to the mathematician Brouwer and his radical constructivism.”
“The terms Constructionism and constructivism are often, but should not be, used interchangeably. Constructionism is an approach to learning that was developed by Papert; the approach was greatly influenced by his work with Piaget, but it is very different. Constructionism involves the creation of a product to show learning.It is believed by constructivists that representations of physical and biological reality, including race, sexuality, and gender, as well as tables, chairs, and atoms, are socially constructed. ”

Constructivism in philosophy of science:
“Thomas Kuhn argued that changes in scientists' views of reality not only contain subjective elements but result from group dynamics, "revolutions" in scientific practice, and changes in "paradigms".[4] As an example, Kuhn suggested that the Sun-centric Copernican "revolution" replaced the Earth-centric views of Ptolemy not because of empirical failures but because of a new "paradigm" that exerted control over what scientists felt to be the more fruitful way to pursue their goals.”

“The view of reality as accessible only through models was called model-dependent realism by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow.[5] While not rejecting an independent reality, model-dependent realism says that we can know only an approximation of it provided by the intermediary of models.[6] These models evolve over time as guided by scientific inspiration and experiments.”

“In the field of the social sciences, constructivism as an epistemology urges that researchers reflect upon the paradigms that may be underpinning their research, and in the light of this that they become more open to considering other ways of interpreting any results of the research. Furthermore, the focus is on presenting results as negotiable constructs rather than as models that aim to "represent" social realities more or less accurately. Norma Romm, in her book Accountability in Social Research (2001), argues that social researchers can earn trust from participants and wider audiences insofar as they adopt this orientation and invite inputs from others regarding their inquiry practices and the results thereof.”

Constructivism and psychology
“In psychology, constructivism refers to many schools of thought that, though extraordinarily different in their techniques (applied in fields such as education and psychotherapy), are all connected by a common critique of previous standard objectivist approaches. Constructivist psychology schools share assumptions about the active constructive nature of human knowledge. In particular, the critique is aimed at [negating] the "associationist" postulate of empiricism, "by which the mind is conceived as a passive system that gathers its contents from its environment and, through the act of knowing, produces a copy of the order of reality.”
“In contrast, "constructivism is an epistemological premise grounded on the assertion that, in the act of knowing, it is the human mind that actively gives meaning and order to that reality to which it is responding".[7]: 16  The constructivist psychologies theorize about and investigate how human beings create systems for meaningfully understanding their worlds and experiences.”[
