0262 Allow me to re-present the virtual nested form in the realm of actuality in a horizontal motif.  The result looks like a very large category-based nested form.

0263 Do I detect a tension?

0264 Does the upper line call to mind consciousness, in so far as these words look like explicit abstractions typical of modern terminology?  

A perspective-level judgment_2c virtually brings the actuality of a situation-level perception_2b into relation with the potential of content-level sensations_2a.

0265 Does the lower line call to mind the two-chambered mind, in so far as these words look like implicit abstractions that holistically pump their respective actualities?   Pump?  Yeah, these are words of wholeness and action.

Commitment_2c virtually brings a phantasm_2b into relation with the potential of decoding_2a.

0266 With this in mind, I will consider the first two hypotheses in Jaynes’s books I and II.

Here is a picture.

0267 Are judgment_2c, perception_2b and sensation_2a based on explicit abstractions, characteristic of technical spoken words in our current Lebenswelt?

Consider the following figure.

0268 Judgment_2c, perception_2b and sensation_2a go with “consciousness”, not as “reactivity”, but as “the capacity for introspection”.  So, do not be fooled when a psychologist says, “He is conscious.”, to mean, “He is awake, but not capable of introspection.”  Julian Jaynes uses the term, “consciousness” in a very specific manner.  A conscious being is capable of introspection.  These explicit terms are salient to the “consciousness” that Jaynes discusses.  These explicit terms offer pathways to introspection.

0269 Are commitment_2c, phantasm_2b and decoding_2a based on implicit abstractions, characteristic of hand-talk word-gestures that picture and point to their referents, in the Lebenswelt that we evolved in?

0270 Well, the answer is yes, from the point of view of our current Lebenswelt.  

Take a look at the following figure.

0271 Plus, the answer is no, because hand-talk words cannot picture or point to these referents.  Even these terms, which are steeped in holism, are explicit abstractions.

Commitment_2c is judgment_2c without analysis.  A phantasm_2b is a perceived_2b reality.  Decoding_2a is the gateway to sensing_2a the meaning, the presence and the message of a transmission.  If the human heart operates holistically with four chambers, the bicameral mind operates holistically with two.

0272 At this point, I appreciate the linguistic trap that Jaynes fashions for himself by using the term, “auditory hallucinations”, for the operations of the bicameral mind.  Even the radically holistic terms of commitment_2c, phantasm_2b and decoding_2a are technical labels for the way that hominins think in a Lebenswelt where fully linguistic hand-talk (and hand-speech talk) cannot perform explicit abstraction.

Hand-talk pictures and points to its referents, in a manner that I label, “implicit abstraction”.

Even the label, “implicit abstraction” is an imposition from our current Lebenswelt onto the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.
