The struggle continues…

Edelman (2004), Langer (1957) and Greene (1971). There is a connection here, between the physiological, the psychological and the sociological, that speaks to my argument that when we are learning, we need idiosyncratic and multiple modes and media to learn difficult things. It has to do with how language evolved to express consciousness entailed by the phenomenal transform of neural activity processed through value-category memory systems. The formation of symbolic and gestural systems of language constructed by multiple polymorphous sets. That there is no singular mapping for each representational state, rather a rich set of selectional non-representative repetoires give rise to conscious representation of subjective experience. This is the part that is coming from Edelman. I am suggesting that sometimes, especially when we are learning difficult concepts, we need to be able to express our subjective experience through multiple modes and media of language, prior to developing a linguistic articulation, similar to the ways we create conscious awareness of non-consciousness.
