So let’s repeat this.

Structures whose level of energy, or excitation, is less than the new structure, are detached from the new hyperstructure created in order to accommodate it, and this is what we call denial.

Sometimes they’re incorporated into other hyperstructure, kind of forced matching. A hyperstructure which contains at least one structure attached to it in a process of forced matching is a forced hyperstructure.

The new hyperstructure is energetically stable, while the forced hyperstructure is energetically unstable.

This is why the forced hyperstructure pops into consciousness. It is excited. It pops more often than other hyperstructures, including new ones.

This is the essence of a defense mechanism, an automatic pattern of thinking or acting which is characterized by its rigidity, repetitiveness, compulsiveness, and behavioral and mental contraction effects.

Constant instabilities experience tension and anxiety. A lack of internal consistency and limited connections are the results.

Meyer’s work in 1982 distinguishes between three components, emotions which are potentials in my work, cognitions which are structures in my work, and interpretations which are the hyperstructures in my work, and of course memory, the stamping process.

In 1980 Minsky suggested that memory is a complete conscious state and it is reconstructed as such.

In my terminology the structure is holographic and fractal-like.

Lazarus suggested that cognition, the structure, leads to emotions, decays into potential.

And this is a partial description of the second leg of the process.

Zuyong in 1980 suggested that the motions, potentials, precede cognitions, structures.

The motion is based on an element of energy, the cognition is based on an element of information.

This distinction seems to me to be a bit superfluous.

Information is also energy, packed and ordered in a manner which enables the appropriately trained human brain to identify it as such.

Information, therefore, is a name that we give to a partial mode of delivery of energy.

Eisen in 1987 discussed emotions and said that they influenced the organization of cognitions and allowed for further inter-cognitive flexibility by encouraging their interconnectedness.

My interpretation is different. Emotions, potentials which organize themselves in structures, are cognitions.

The apparent distinction between motions and cognitions is deceiving and misleading. This also renders meaningless the question of which precedes what.

See also Piaget, Hayes in 1977, Marcus, Murius, Leventhal in 1979, they all said essentially the same.

Greenweb and Safran said that emotions are automatic responses to events. The primordial emotion is a biological, that is to say physical, mechanism. It reacts to events, it endows them with meaning and sense. It never assists in the processing of information.

The processing is speaking. It is based on a response, on responses to a limited set of attributes. The emotional reaction is the raw material for the formation of cognitions.

As opposed to Leventhal, I distinguish the processing of data within the field of potentials, the processing of potentials, from the processing of data through structures, the structural processes.

Laws of transformation and conservation of energy prevail, prevail.

Excuse me, I lost my place. Hold on for a second and I will find it again, hopefully.

Just a second, gain my apologies.

So, laws of transformation and conservation of energy prevail within the two types of processing.

Energy is of the informational or lingual type. The processing of potentials is poor and stereotypical and its influence is mega-motoric.

Structural processing on the other hand is rich and spawns additional structures and alterations to the field itself.

Horowitz in 1998 said that all states of consciousness act in concert when transition between these states occurs or the components change simultaneously.

Of course, in Gestalt theory, the organism tends to organize the stimuli in its awareness in the best possible manner, the eu-forming or euomorphic principle.

The characteristics of the organization are simplicity, regularity, coordination, continuity, proximity between components, and clarity. In short, it adopts the optimal path of least resistance or path of minimum energy.

Epstein in 1983 said that the processes of integration, assimilation, and differentiation accommodation foster harmony. This harmony is generated by repeating a fixed pattern without any corresponding accommodative or assimilative change.

Filter is a situation where a structure in the path of least resistance or the path of minimum energy materializes every time as the default structure. It therefore permanently occupies certain levels of excitation, preventing other structures from materializing through these levels of excitation.

This also weakens the stamping process.

The Bauer model of memory organization suggested in 1981 says that our memory is made of units or presentations which are the stampings of structures on the field.

When one unit is activated, it activates other units linked to it by way of association.

There are also inhibitory mechanisms which apply to some of these links. Memory unit activates certain units while simultaneously inhibiting other units. The stamped portion of the field of potentials which materializes into a structure does so within a hyperstructure and along the string which connects similar or identical stamped areas. I call it a field line.

All the stamped areas which are connected to a hyperstructure materialize simultaneously. They occupy loud levels of excitation.

This way other structures are prevented from using the same levels of excitation.

Activation and inhibition or prevention are simultaneous.

The model of internal compatibility says that a coherent experience is an effective potential. A dimension of meaning which I call structure and a dimension of memory which I call stamping.

Awareness is created when there is compatibility between these dimensions. When the structures materialize and dematerialize are realized without undergoing changes.

The subconscious is a state of incompatibility. This forces the structures to change. It provokes denial or forced adjustment until compatibility is obtained.

Emotions relate to appropriate meanings and memories. In my language, potentials become structures which are, as we said, holographic and of practical nature.

There are also inter-experiential knots. Emotions, meanings, and or memories interlink. A constant dynamic is at play.

Repressions, denials, and forced adjustments break structures apart and detach them from each other. This reduces the inner complexity and internal poverty results.

According to Epstein in 1983, pathology occurs when mental content or events is rejected from consciousness.

In my language, a potential which does not materialize. Mental content which cannot be assimilated because it does not fit in also creates pathology. There is no structure appropriate to it and this entails rewiring information of unstable interim structures in the field.

The latter, these interim structures, are highly excitable and they tend to get materialized and realized in constant default levels of excitation. This in turn blocks these levels of excitation to other structures and these are what we call psychological defense mechanisms.

And Epstein says that free verbal and a-verbal processing also can increase pathogism in my language.

No structure materializes.

In my work, both the first and the third processes are assumed to be facets of the same thing.

Kistrom in 1984 said that a trauma tears apart the emotional side of the experience from its verbal cognitive side. The potential never materializes and does not turn into a structure.

In 1981, Bowers said that learning and memory are situational, context dependent.

The more the learning is conducted in its surroundings which remind the student of the original situation, the more effective it proves to be.

A context is an exogenous event whose energy evokes hyperstructures, networks, along a string or a field line. The more the energy of the situation resembles or is identical to the energy of the original situation, the more effectively will the right string resonate.

This would lead to an optimal situation on resonance.

Eisen said that it is the similarity of meanings which encourages memorizing.

In my terminology, structures belong to the same hyperstructures or networks along a common string in the field of potential, common field line.

Bartlett in 1932 and Nacer in 1967 both suggested that memory does not reflect reality. It is the reconstruction of reality in light of attitudes towards reality and it changes according to circumstances.

The stamping is reconstructed and is transformed into a structure with energies and influence by its environment.

Again, Kistrom in 1984 said the data processing is a processing which stimuli from the outer world are absorbed or through an interpretative system are classified, stored and reconstructed in memory.

The subconscious is a part of the conscious world and it participates and is designed through the processing of the incoming stimuli and their analysis.

These processing and analysis are mostly unconscious but they exert influence of the consciousness. Data is stored in three locking.

The first one is in the centuries storage center. This is a subconscious registry and it keeps in touch with the higher cognitive processes, the infinitive of events in the field of potentials.

This is where events are analyzed to their components and patterns and acquire meaning.

Then there’s the primary short-term memory which is characterized by the focusing of attention, conscious processing, materialization of a structure and repetition of material stored.

And then there’s long-term storage readily available to consciousness.

We distinguish three types of memory.

Not reconstructable, no stamping was made, reconstructable from one of the storage areas is within structure, post stamping and memory on the level of central perception and reception and processing.

The latter is left as a potential. It does not materialize infrastructure and the imprinting is also the stepping.

The data processing approaches partly subconscious.

When the structure is realized, part of it remains a potential.

Material which was processed in the subconscious cannot be consciously reconstructed in its subconscious form.

A potential after all is not the structure.

The stimuli, having passed through central data processing and having been transformed into processed material, constitute a series of assumptions concerning the essence of the received stimulus.

Imprinting the field of potentials creates structures using lingual energy.

Mike and Bob and Gilmore in 1984 divided the cognitive activity to three components, events, processes and cognitive structures.

An event means activity, some kind of activity.

And in my language is materialization of potentials into structures.

A process is the principle according to which data are organized, stored and reconstructed, or the laws of energetic transition from potential to structure.

A cognitive structure is a structural pattern which receives data and alters both the data and itself, thus influencing the entire field.

External data are absorbed by internal processes.

See me for a minute, I again lost my place. I am not very friendly with Microsoft Word.

My frustrated apologies, I’ll be back in a minute.

So external data are absorbed by internal structures in printing and are influenced by cognitive processes.

They become cognitive events, excitation of a structure, materialization into a structure.

In all these there is a subconscious part.

Subconscious processes design, receive data, change them according to predetermined principles.

The data storage mechanisms, the reconstruction of memory, conclusiveness, searching and reveal information and other principles.

Three principles shape the interpretation of information.

The principle of availability is the first one.

The individual relates to available information and not necessarily to relevant data, the defaulting of structures.

The principle of representation relating to information only if it matches conscious data.

This principle is another addition of the path of least resistance or minimum energy.

It does take less energy and it does provoke less resistance to relate only to conforming data.

The last principle is the principle of affirmation.

The search for an affirmation of a theory or a hypothesis concerning reality, bringing about in its way the affirmation of the theory’s predictions.

1984 powers distinguish between two kinds of knowledge and two types of deficiency. Distinction, lack of distinction, understanding, lack of understanding.

Perception is a processing of information that consciousness is being aware of.

The focusing of attention transforms perception in printing and the evocation of structure into a conscious experience, the materialization of the structure.

Perception antecedes awareness.

The subconscious can be divided to four departments.

Sub-threshold perception, memory forgetfulness, repression, and dissociation.

There is no full segregation between these compartments. They are cross influences of course.

This is a dynamic structure.

In flux, the distinction between repression and dissociation, in repression there is no notice of anxiety producing content. Dissociation, the internal ties between mental or behavioral systems are not noted and there is no obscuring or erasure of content.

Intuition is intellectual sensitivity to information coming from the external or from the internal surroundings, though this information was not yet clearly registered.

It channels the study of the world and the observations which must lead to deep insights.

This in effect is awareness of the process of materialization of the structure.

Attention is focused on the materialization rather than on the structure being materialized.

So here I suggested a field theory of the mind and I compared it to various previous work.

I hope you find the insights illuminating or at least not provoking.

Of course it’s a work in progress. It has to do a lot with quantum mechanics and field theories in physics because originally I’m a physicist, my original training as a physicist.

I believe that if we think of cautiousness as a field we tend to gain additional interesting insights.

Thank you very much for listening and have a great conference.
