“Interface half in the part (person), half in the whole (world), and thus modulates each to the other: advocate for the person in terms of what she does (acting toward the whole) and how she experience world ( the whole acting on her). In this case the part is not directly engaged with the whole but indirectly…”

“Two psyches, two signals. Set and ground which the twin psyches blend together: one sees set, the other sees ground. so it is essential that they do remain “di” or twain: if they merged into one psyche they would no longer percieve/recieve two differing signals, no longer be able to do a set-ground feature extraction. Twin push-pull psyches working in tandem. more than set-ground: two worlds (spatiotemporal?) based on a common essence; and the common essence can be percieved as archetypal constants (common to both signals or worlds); what i call “archetypes” or “eide” are those elements common to both signals, percieved by both psyches: what overlaps, is present in both (worlds) and to both psyches.”
