- W60688945 abstract "The Three Perceptual Contexts That Enfold This Basic Information We live in a personally experienced universe. The information it provides is inexhaustible. This information becomes public knowledge when it becomes available to minds and in print or on the Internet. But HOW do we experience its mysterious and not so mysterious realities? We experience the universe subjectively by means of the perception of and the invention of CONTEXTS--three major that we become aware of by means of our senses and whose details society investigates intellectually via the sciences. I deem these three contexts because they have perceivable boundaries. In a real sense, as Malcolm Gleiser, a professor of physics and astronomy at Dartmouth, put it: ... We are how the universe thinks about itself. Within these three perceptual reside enormous cognitive power. They give to us the meaning and significance of all objects, processes, ideas, and feelings--the actual contents of human experience. These three exhibit characteristic properties. They can be as broad as the expanding universe, as miniscule as what nanotechnology deals with, or as narrow as a prejudice. These are empirically psychological and/or social domains providing backgrounds that are all-encompassing. They encompass all material being and mental contents. There is no human belief, purpose, or behavior that is not molded by an interior or exterior contextual influence. They relate subject matters of learned content that becomes an individual's personal or subjective meaningfulness. The power of these perceptual springs from their historical reality as time-binding processes (Korzypski, 1994) and from current cultural influences which anthropologists call enculturation. These established mold the personality, character, and mental accomplishments of a developing SELF. Every person becomes embedded in the traditions and institutions of the locality into which he/she is born. The three perceptual from which there is no escape until death do us part are (1) the Self Context, (2) the Proximity Context, and (3) the Universal Context. The Self Context The first of these perceptual is the domain of the SELF--whose perceivable boundary is the surface of the human body: the skin, the body's largest organ. Both a barrier to and an entryway for information, the skin is the physical and outer limit of the individual. It encompasses and reveals human shape--the characteristic, unique human form by which each one of us is identified by sight, by name, and by finger print. The skin is the outer boundary of the wholeness of the individual. It contains all and reveals many aspects of our personhood. This physical wholeness demonstrates the unique identity of an individual who is distinct from all others. It outlines a body's position in space and time. The skin is the container of some 10 trillion separate cells and 100 million or more bacteria that live within and upon us. The brain, protected by encompassing skin and bone, the skull, is the controlling and most important organ of the SELF. The seat of the central nervous system, the brain, is fed by the peripheral nervous system, our sensory systems, and is a loaded domain filled with conscious and unconscious information in the form of imageries and meanings provided by the two other important sources of information, the PROXIMITY and UNIVERSAL CONTEXTS. The brain of every developing SELF is both a victim and a commander of human experience through which all images, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are filtered and organized. The brain's cortical expansion through millions of years became the stage for the development of modern perceptions, language, practical and imaginative conceptions, and purposeful behaviors. All humanity's comprehending takes place within the SELF Context. …" @default.
