Edwina, Helmut, Jon A, List, The term 'weasel word' for emergence has negative connotations. I wouldn't suggest the negativity, but I admit that it hides a wide range of interpretants that deserve to be analyzed in more detail. I agree that the early stages of interpretation are so rapid (fractions of a second) that detailed logical deduction is not possible. However, the initial steps of classifying a sensation (by the categories) and detecting various elements (relations and hypoicons) could be done in milliseconds. The more complex processing by the normative sciences would require more time (seconds). John
