Edwina, List: I will review and comment on the quotes that Gary R. posted at a later time, and also offer my current working definition of "Quasi-mind." For now, I am just seeking clarification of your brief remarks below.
1. What do you mean by "a non-symbolic user"? 2. Are you suggesting that the term "Quasi-mind" applies to "dialogic interaction" as a momentary event, rather than each of the individual participant(s) therein?
