Send comments to review committee.
At this link There is a short note on Allan Schore's work on neuropsychological transformations of the new born infant's brain and perception, and extensions of this empirical research into the socio-biology of interaction. Karl Pribram and a mutual friend, Raymond Bradley , have extended this work to a quantum mechanical like theory of social interaction, involving the notion of a hologram of information and social affective release and control of group 'energy'. I have been thinking about the nature of temporal expression of archetypical structure in Noetic fields (the conjectured deep structure where "souls" have stronger links than they do in the material "field"). This way of thinking may help the development of the web based Bead Game and in the development of new Knowledge Management technology. I am not supposing that 'souls' and a 'Noetic field' exist, but am acting 'as though' they exist to help develop the notation and game constructs needed for computational knowledge management in virtual communities. Virtual communities are easy to observe, and the archetypical structure of the conjectured Noetic field is one way to make sense of human behavior in these communities. The notion of archetypal "shifting" from one mode of expression to another mode of expression (of the same temporal expression of archetypical structure), has been more generally discussed. More generally the issue goes to how to use psychotherapy to shift behavioral patterns and mental experiences. I am not sure it is easy to see where I am going with this line of research, but perhaps other's thinking a little about this now might help later where to get into a proper discussion regarding archetypes. Perhaps this might occur during the planned BCN Group Bead Game on Dan Miller’s work in psychotherapy. The issue is revealing when one thinks of this from the point of view of finding a grounding of something like astrology in well posed experimental work from a still formative science of consciousness. Like what role might planetary configuration (location relative mass distribution) play in the formation of thought when part of social communication? These issues are not generally discussed in "science", and are very conjectural in nature. But perhaps the thinking about archetypical structure in temporal expression.. or affordance structure in associative memories will help us discuss the issue that natural come up in virtual role playing games.
