    The AaO as building block in the coupling of text kinematics with the resonating structure of a metaphor

    Get PDF
    This article presents a study of the metaphor as instrument for the direct perception of events. Its major hypothesis refers to the event structure embedded in the ground of a metaphor. Since the ground is implicit in the linguistic manifestation, an invariant representation of textual movement patterns is assumed to capture the event structure. Experimentally, it is demonstrated that an event is perceivable only through structure. To capture the event means to conserve its structure. As a result, it is demonstrated that the functional symmetry of a metaphor can be established in the form of attractors evolving in state spaces

    Individual growth in competence

    This article presents the second study in a series that has been designed to manifest the emergence of consciousness and to measure developed competence. Its major aim has been to demonstrate that an invariant formulation of the Agent-action-Objective model and an analysis of its A-O kinematics have the capacity to re-produce contour similarity over time. Within the studied evolutionary-developmental context, the bio-kinematics of the discove¬red AaO-mechanism has governed the synthesising of information. It has been possible to demonstrate variations in growth as changes in complexity. When the two participating students are compared, differences in their perspectivation, and consequently in their attractor spaces, become apparent. Based on coordinated structural invariants, it has been possible to show that the convoluted spaces of the student, who has followed the analytic-descriptive approach, is concerned with the concrete level of the tested story. On the other hand, the student, who is following a synthetic-reflective strategy, seems to concentrate mainly on the symbolic level. Thus, from the developmental point of view, it has been possible to demonstrate that the AaO-mechanism is tracing embodied growth, which becomes manifest in the differences of the students’ ability to adapt to the main idea of the given story

    The article is advancing the bio-kinetic hypothesis of string rotation. Demonstrated is a stepping function. This function shows that the discovered mechanism is working within single "AaO" units. By attaching a dot to the string, states of rotation can be marked and imaged in real time. In keeping track of the orientation of the dot, sliding over the domains (A, O) is demonstrated and the involved state changes have been made manifest. Textually, it is demonstrated that the "AaO" units have the capacity to keep track of the rotations and to assemble elements that are temporarily fitting the developing structures

    The morphogenesis of intention and structural stability of motifs.

    This article is based on the Agent-action-Objective (AaO) axiom and assumes that intention can be discovered and made evident. But this requirement can be satisfied only under the condition that a particular individual can be identified with his style of writing. This implies that the nature of writing becomes approachable. Getting a style under control presupposes the A-component, which is discussed with a focus on string rotation and the establishment of lawful relations that include intention in laws that are governing the patterning of strings. It is demonstrated that angular articulations are characterising dynamical string movements. However, independent of their textually embedded magnitudes, they cannot survive. As the result of the text production of two Swedish students, convoluted structures have come into existence and reflect transformations on the meaning of topological invariants. Thus, spaces have been realised, which have been shown to restrict string rotations. Over the given environments, it is demonstrated that uniqueness is achieved in the comprehension of a particular task. In the formation of motifs, the morphogenesis of intention and its structural stability have provided the basis for a 3D writing style control, while the growth curves of motifs have been shown to evolve in complex landscapes

    Simulating strategies of interactive behaviour

    Effective communication is of crucial importance for the development of effective social organisations. Deficient communication combined with rapid technological and social changes appears to lead to both ecological and psychological imbalance. An increasing number of environmental groups are working for ecological improvements, but young people seem to find it increasingly difficult to master the task of developing an integrated personality. This shows itself in stress and an inability to develop flexible be¬havioural strategies in interaction with other people. For the purpose of testing new models and constructing new instruments for analysis and training of the individual’s way of observing, evaluating and integrating information about himself and his surroundings in existing cog¬nitive structures, based on a psycho-ecological model, a simulator for interactive behaviour has been developed. Basically, it is assumed that perceptual experiences are directly related to events and that a person must first become aware (observe) and understand (analyse and synthesise) events before what he has experienced can be integrated into an existing cognitive pattern

    Transformation of a word model to a geometric space description

    On the basis of the Agent-action-Objective (AaO) paradigm, it will be shown how the transformation of a word model to a geometric space description can be made the founda¬tion for an approach to informational invariants. In particular, the word model of a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) has been used for simplifying the involved procedures. Since the explanation of a causal loop requires a verbal description of what is in the links, this kind of discourse is necessarily dependent on its producer’s intention and orientation. Both can be discovered through the functional geometry of non-linearly working language mechanisms. Although covered by textual surface properties, corresponding language spaces are approachable with VERTEX, which is a new version of Perspective Text Analysis (PTA). Moreover, reproduced order parameters are the result of the strict dependencies, which are characteristic of the entangled [AaO] units of the (AaO) model. Relative phase stability in the developing variables (a) of the A-component and (b) of the O-component of the model has revealed that VERTEX has the capacity to manifest the structural symmetry of the emerging A- and O-strands. Furthermore, the overall symmetry of the strands is a consequence of apparent super-string disparity, which has important theoretical implications

    Consciousness in historical time: Tacitus on the Suiones

    Get PDF
    Since knowability must emanate from the single individual, singularity constitutes the frame of reference, and the embodiment of knowing is expected to emerge through individual text production. Furthermore, the basis of the presented studies will consist of text materials with unknown frame factors. This is especially underlined by the fact that history at the Times of Tacitus was an art, not a science. It follows that only the individual text producer, namely Tacitus himself, can provide the unique physical space-time context. Only he has the capability to produce a discourse on the given subject. This capacity is contributing to the fact that the present approach is binding intentional dynamics to the production of textual movement patterns. Finally, structure cannot be imposed a priory, but can only be discovered. Thus, the question to be answered need to address the kind of structure that is establishing itself during production. The Latin text of Tacitus on the Suiones makes up the precondition for the establishment of Potential Energy Surfaces (PES) as well as Free Energy Surfaces (FES). In two separate although connected studies, strings of graphemes provide the foundation for the unfolding as well as folding of their textual resonance spaces. Thereby, produced and shaped consciousness can be established and described structurally with two global state attractors, carrying the inclusive names of Safeguard for Intention and Mastery for the Orientation. Hence, the basic focus will be on textual pattern dynamics as outcome of a subtle interplay between intentionality and orientation, for which the AaO axiom provides the proper foundation

    Differentiated limits for knowability

    The article is based on the string-hypothesis, which has important scientific consequences. Science has meant to associate the notion of number with the strict operation of counting. However, recent account of string-theoretical approaches is sharply distinguishing ”number” from ”magnitude”. In studying ”spinning” strings in the context of language, it is shown that rotation is a valid concept. For the descrip­tion of rotating strings, super strings and super symmetries, fitness values are produced during the generation of corresponding energy landscapes. Their signify­cance has been founded on the hypothesis that distance is a function of rotational acceleration and that spinors have the capacity to carry rotating string composites of varying complexity. Finally, it has been made evident that the phase transition of a string from its virtual to its material state results in a super-fluid solid, which means that dissipation-less flows of kinetic energy is decreasing the symmetry of a string. Since spinors are controlling the flow, breaking the symmetry of a string allow for the establishment of dimensional asymmetries. As a result, the asymmetry of the dimensions of intention and orientation has been determined and their componential disparity has been made manifest in the global singularities of the underlying fitness landscapes

    Scientific communication presumes a well functioning infor¬mation and documentation system. Information retrieval systems have been designed for making possible rapid and precise answers to inquiries. This report includes (1) a short survey of international and national documentation activities, (2) a description of rules and criteria to be used and the way these can be applied in an information retrieval system, and (3) some empirical results, identifying the needs for information and the uses to which the information will be put

    The fundamentals of Perspective Text Analysis

    Get PDF
    The major assumption made is that language as a natural system is both self-organising and self-referential. Compared to common syntactic-semantic approaches, the present approach is ecological and builds on the unambiguous identification of textual agents and agencies together with their objectives. Because information transaction cannot be studied without an emphasis on the text producer’s text building behaviour, his intended and oriented schematising as unitizing activity has been focused upon. The main principles making up the foundation of Perspective Text Analysis are presented in the form of 15 propositional statements. These are discussed with a stress on the involved dynamic formalism that creates co-operation and interaction between various (AaO) unities. This implies a stress on analysis and synthesis of the morphogenesis of conceptualizing processes. It follows that PTA traces the transformations involved in the aggregation of joint textual elements into systems. These may be characterized by particular geometric profiles specifying the boundary conditions of the language space in which the textual flow patterns occur, containing the perspective and objective invariants of a particular configuration
