Five primary types of coherence
relevant to assessing relational
knowledge:
explanatory,
analogical,
deductive,
perceptual, and conceptual.
Each category of coherence relevant
to assessing knowledge involves a set of elements and
dipole constraints.
There are important differences between each of these five primary or
fundamental coherence relations and the principles associated with them.
These coherence
principles are relevant in assessing the complex of concepts people chose to
apply to a particular situation to make it comprehensible.
 Explanatory coherence is fundamentally a
matter of there being a causal relation between what is explained and the
representative symbology.
If
an explanatory hypothesis
explains a piece of evidence as
does another hypothesis then there is
coherence to these
hypothetical explanations.
Analogical coherence can be understood as simultaneous satisfaction
of multiple constraints involving similarity within
differentiated systems.
Charles Darwin used analogical coherence with
artificial
selection, animal husbandry and plant breeding, as an analogy to explain
natural selection.
Analogical coherence is used for
comprehension of text
involving metaphor.
Deductive coherence
finds deductive relations between propositions.
Deductive coherence
looks for a good fit between general propositions or principles and
intuitive judgements.
Perceptual coherence involves the assembling
of perceptual knowledge in a
'snapshot' of the existant environment.
Perceptual knowledge
includes the visual,
auditory,
olfactory, and
tactile
information provided to us by our
senses.
No
'sensation' is simply a matter of
taking sensory inputs and interpreting them directly as sensory inputs are
often incomplete or ambiguous.
Doors of Perception are
dependent on sensory
focus.
Focusing on one
sense we see conscious awareness to the other senses close.
Those
senses that have been pushed outside
conscious awareness,
hidden behind the Veil of Cognitive
Blindness, now inform only the
subconscious.
The
conscious mind fills in the blank spaces to create a whole.
Conceptual
coherence involves concepts as foundational elements and their relationship to
one another.
There is abundant experimental and computational
evidence that whole concepts are a psychologically realistic
category of mental representation not reducible to
propositions.
Association of concepts can be
understood in terms of social
stereotypes.
Many
psychological phenomena concerning how stereotypes are applied can be explained
in terms of conceptual-constraint satisfaction.
If
I am told that
someone is a California Polytechnical
State University educated
carpenter, it may be
difficult to reconcile conflicting expectations
associated with the two apparently conflicted concepts.
Surprise is an emotional
reaction that signals that a
satisfactory degree of coherence has not been achieved.
Generation of new elements is sometimes
driven by incoherence.
For example, I am trying to understand
someone but fail to form a coherent impression or attribution, I may be spurred
to form new conceptual elements
that can add coherence to the old set
of elements.
This reaction triggers hypothesis
formation, as I ask myself how someone with a California Polytechnical
State University Bachelor of Architecture degree could end up working as a
carpenter.
Explanatory,
analogical, deductive, perceptual, and conceptual coherence add up to
a comprehensive, computable,
naturalistic theory of coherence explaining
thought processes used
to assess knowledge.
These five primary kinds of coherence used in a rigorous inferential
process will expand individual knowledge and
eliminate previous
misconceptions especially when paired with
Tactics in the Art
of Self-Interrogation.
Deliberative
coherence is relevant to decision making and
ethics.
Knowledge comes in a Rainbow
Spiral of shapes and forms.
Balanced peaceful minds
integrate the fundamental subconscious
emotional understanding of reality with
the rational logical understanding of
reality !
To do this in
a natural social
culture people build monolithic
conceptual worldview structures in
a mythical metaphorical
manner to connect the images stored in
the subconscious.
To do this in
a social culture steeped in
paralogisms people build
elaborately fragmented
conceptual structures in that same
mythical metaphorical
way.
Unfortunately doing so leaves one
rationally
dissociated.
Those that are
rationally dissociated are
emotionally detached from
body.
Emotional detachment
through rational
dissociation leaves one vulnerable to unforeseen threats in the surrounding
environment. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new philosophical
ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification
of reality outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any
group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due
to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of a mystery
school aptly named The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a
rational gnostic
mystery religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts
no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and
every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator
and Sustainer through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of
curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets
of The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail
on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world banking system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
