The tenets of my thesis on mental spaces
Posted by Jay Morgan in applied cognition, meditations on August 13th, 2010
My goal for Themography.com is to craft a thesis on “mental spaces”. I presume others used that term in other contexts, or with different definitions, so I will define mental spaces to fulfill an objective of my thesis.
These positions* craft and characterize a themographic definition of mental spaces:
- That there is mental infrastructure and superstructure.
- These structural systems exist in and can be described by dimensions we have not yet mapped as a coordinated space.
- That mapping, diagramming, and scientifically and/or mathematically studying this dimensionality will yield a mental space which is a peer to physical space and time.
(Consider this an iteration on my article “Something akin to my treatise on mental spaces“.)
*Positions reflect that I posit these, I suggest these as basic concepts. The word choice, compared to “tenets” in the title, reflects that I believe they have staying power. Figure it out, test it as you go.
