Something akin to My Treatise on Mental Spaces

That each practice, craft, art, emotion, occupation, trait, or other aspect of existence is a mental space.

That each mental space is multi-dimensional itself.

That humans encounter mental spaces by realizing and understanding them.

To describe how a human encounters a mental space:

- At first, we have no awareness, understanding of the mental space.

- Then, they realize it as uni-dimensional. Geometrically this is a point, dot in the mental space.

- This encounter creates an event horizon, behind which there are new possibilities within the event horizon that present further access to the dimensions of that mental space.

- Gradually and progressively our capacity for realization and understanding increases. That is, our capacity for experiencing more dimensions in that mental space increases.

-  So, we begin to realize and understand a mental space dimension by dimension.

- Readiness, fitness, experience, will, motivation, ability, or other characteristics contribute to and define the capacity for experiencing more.

That this encounter is a mental or cognitive singularity. (As opposed to a mathematical, algebraic, technological, etc., singularity.)

- Not all cognitive singularities are devastating, say, as one might interpret a singularity Kurzweil discusses.

- Cognitive singularities vary in capacity and intensity.

- The maturity of cognitive singularities could be indexed, measured.

That the entirety of mental spaces I would call a “chromatic latticework” of mental spaces.

- The chromatic lattice’s fabric is described by the dimensionality of three kinds of mental spaces:

- Intra-mental spaces: those regarding one’s own mentality.

- Inter-mental spaces: those regarding mental spaces shared between interacting individuals.

- Extra-mental spaces: those regarding social, cultural, and that span multiple individuals. These exist beyond individuals, regardless of their awareness of them.

- The entirety of these spaces describes human knowledge.

- Are there a-, pre-, or para-cognitive spaces?
