Hi Krim
Maybe it's the way you tell 'em. I think there is much to gain from
looking at infant development and how our perceptions work but
if you start telling it in SOM terms you know that the guard dogs
are gonna get you. Maybe you are confusing precise with SOM,
is there a more precise approach that assumes less and therefore
has to say less, but is thereby more accurate. Just a thought, it
may be unfair.

Krimel said to dmb:
You want to claim that pre-intellectual experience is a unity. I have
presented facts to assert it is not. I claim that unity is a cognitive
illusion that only occurs at the level of perception. It is the result of
the synthesis of multimodal sensory input and memory of past experience.
DM: Is there not an evolution here? From original unity of self-world, to
a differentiation into self, other-things, other-selves, to a realisation
that beyond
this expereience is a world that transcends it all, to the realisation
that
there
are possibilities that transcend the world (known to
physicists/mathematicians,
mystics and members of the DQ cult, maybe even DMB).
[Krimel]
I attempted to discuss this in terms of its evolution not long ago in the
context of developmental psych. Infants definitely go through at least the
first parts that you describe. But I was told that this was rigid thinking
based on faulty metaphysical assumptions. Apparently the patterns of our
common experience of maturation are as irrelevant as the tools nature
gives
us to apprehend the world.
Better, I am told to zoom around unfocused.
