A PHILOSOPHICAL RE-EXAMINATION OF ‘CONCEPTS’

INTRODUCTION

Concepts are indispensable elements of the Psyche. They result from the Transformation of one or more Ideas, which associate, mix, and compound in many different ways, thus making Concepts difficult. but crucial to the ultimately unique colouring of subjective Reality — quite literally. I argue elsewhere that Cognitive Psychology is a failed field, along with related Experimental Psychology.. the incoming collision with AI coming, it must be reformed. The Mental Processes and Feelings of the Psyche can work ceaselessly in unison and in apparent conflict, and I have argued in other papers that an Relational framework as represented in this paper — meaning analysis of  bottom-up from the de structurally   elements their dynamics has led to a poor academic foundation upon which treatments are designed for psychological and psychiatric disorders. Therefore, Understanding Concepts to the depths, as well as recognising an explicating its many interrelations is essential to produce a convincingly positive impact. Such new knowledge as this paper aims to provide hopefully results in fresh approaches to treatment methods, either to replace or hybridise what is clearly a misunderstood anatomy of human cognitive psychology in present-day edition..  treatment approaches are built upon.is important mainstream treatment approaches, one must first re-set the table of all the important dinner guests necessary to be along for this ambitious task, which this paper strives to do despite its focus on the formation and utility of Concepts. Thus, this paper is just one of many that all share the overarching Goal of supplanting a failed tradition o Cognitive Psychology with a more accurate and practically useful Element Psychology (EP). Concepts, in EP represent such an important “chunk” in a person’s Relational Psychology, through Memory,  Recollection, and Combination.

SIMPLE ILLUSTRATION DEPICTING THE TREE OF CONCEPTUALISATION

Quantum Mechanical Processes (or whatever alternative terminology) is underpinned by 100-years of literature containing strong indications and acceptance that the “physical” objects of Perception only become so as a result of Observation or Measurement. So what is a lamp when I am not in my bedroom and able to look at it? See this post for a detailed description of this “indirect realism.”

The process of Concept forming is basically as follows:

• The

• By the Psyche, I mean the triad of interrelations of Consciousness:
  • 1) Intelligence
  • 2) Feeling
  • 3) Self-Awareness
• By Intelligence, I mean, the triad of central abilities to self-operate from genetic instructions and the laws of physics, in order to:
  • A) Move
  • B) Expand
  • C) Replicate (not necessarily through offspring)
• By Feeling, I mean the triad of antithetical Feelings that pervade the Psyche of most animals as its Ultimate Goal. All emotions derive from the following triad of Feeling:
  • Pleasure or Displeasure
  • Satisfaction or Dissatisfaction
  • Comfort or Discomfort
• By Self-Awareness, I mean te triad of Mental Elements used in coordination in order to determine one’s Attention:
•  the pleasure-seeking and ability of more advanced beings such as many animals and Humans to feel the dichotomies of Pleasure/Displeasure, Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction, and Comfort/Discomfort. All emotions are derivative of these three dichotomies, all of which I consider to be Suffering. 
• By Suffering, I mean mainly the Ignorance of people in their Awareness and Understanding of their Psyche. Ignorance is Suffering, and so it the Truth Itself.
• By Self-aware
• By Mental Content, I mean all Perceptions of the Psyche.
• By Perceptions, I mean l
• Ideas ( and Concepts
• By Concepts, I mean one or more Ideas beyond the scope of Recognition only, namely the of encompassing Meaning and Value.
• By Ideas, I mean the Mental Content of Perception of one of the “Physical” realm.
• By Object, I mean the 
• Ideas which aims to explicate the true structure,meanings, and values of Concepts. Firstly, the Psyche (my preferred term for “mentality” or “mind”) of a typical person functions, at least initially, with an aim of transforming Objects into Reality at all because of the typical Human abilities to perceive Objects as Ideas (a physical phenomonen Recognised as a Concept, apparently does so in such a way that one or more Ideas form in the Memory from the two Forms of Perception: a) Sense Perception; and b) Thought over a discrete duration of time. More specifically , Ideas are Perceptions of Objects  — all Phenomena establishing what I call the Boundaries of an Idea through Perception of a Object. An Idea, therefore, is a phenomenon of the Psyche that converts Raw Perception into therefore singular  moment of time, as an abundance of different forms of Mental Content, especially that ofuch at Concepts and Ideas. “Moments in time” are a property of an Idea; the Psyche creates a boundary around Objects to Recognise them and have Ideas about them, and by necessity this Process includes a time boundary. Propertiy of the  by the subjective Psyche   Moment is conceived here as a subjective construct upon which one applies artificial  are effectively Ideas (which are Thoughts about an Object) with the additional the typical person who both perceives and conceives. By Mental Content I simply mean Perceptions and Thoughts in all their formations, which spring in and out of existence in a ceaseless stream due to constantly changing degrees of Conscious Awareness i.e. Attention. But it is important to emphasise that this stream of Mental Content is constant Unconciously, despite non-Awareness of it. Consciously Awareness and also when it is beneath Conscious Awareness i.e. in the Unconscious. Ideas and Concepts both fall under this umbrella, technicially being Thought, and as a consequence also Mental Content. Ideas and Concepts can also be either Simple or Complex, depending on the number of Objects they are about. If an Idea or a Concept represents one singlular Object in the world, they are Simple. Conversely, if they represent a multiplicity of two or more combined Objects, then they are to be considered Complex. Simple in this context means one single, unrelated Idea or Concept; therefore, they are considered Simple based on the number of different Objects   (Thoughts) that fill the MenBy the Psyche, I mean for the purposes of this paper “the Human Psyche”, because at least in my estimation Human Beings seem to have an apparently unique mix of Intelligence and Feeling (i.e. the Psyche). “Intelligence” is a part of organic life from micro-organisms through to animals and finally Human Beings. “Feeling”, on the other hand, is special to Human Beings and some animals. In essence, Feeling is the experimental duality of Pleasure/Displeasure, Satifcation/Dissatisfaction,  Intelligence and Conscious Awarenessmean an apparent These Concepts, which are formed from one or more Ideas, comprise the majority of common Mental Space. These “Concepts” can be about anything and they undoubtedly help one to navigate a world as astonishing and complex as reality itself are the Concepts one is exposed to and are Understood.  .are a significant part of Mental Content (all Objects of Thought) of the human Psyche (Psyche: Intelligence and Consciousness). This definition is appropriate I think as it creates a distinction between Conscious and Unconscious Intelligent, the former being what makes a human I propose that Concepts are formed from one or more Ideas in one of three different ways: a) from Ideas about Sense Perception; b) from Ideas about Ideas; and c) from the mixxing of two or more Ideas to make new Ideas. No Idea can be extended or reduced in its scope, however, Ideas evolve through the above three Mental Processes are  or Ideas about prior Ideasabout Cobjectsdirect Sensory Perception or about The purpose of this paper is to perform a study of the phenomenon of Concepts and their derivatives through the controversial methodology oriented-around using introspection and intuition, with the ultimate aim of demonstrating how important exposure to positive Concepts is, and to provide a reason to depart from negative or harmful Concepts. Essentially, Concepts were Idea, either one or more(and the Ideas they form from) as Information-rich Mental Elements that are aroused into Being through a Mental Transformation of one or more Ideas. Mental Elements are any entity of Perception, regardless of scale, and are to be referred to as Simple Perception when the Object is no longer divisible into smaller practical parts, and Complex Perception 

the Mental Apparatus (the Psyche) with two primary sources of input: a) Sensory Perception (e.g. gazing upon a physical object like a ball; or b) or Reflective Thought (e.g. essentially all Thought, including Thought about a Sensory Perception now, or a Thought about a Thought an hour ago) . simple (irreducible to another Idea) and Complex (whether one Idea or multiple Relational Ideas). Mental Transformation is the Influencing of Mental Elents and how they hang together in the Psyche and function as a force upon one’s Mental State, which is basically just the overall Subjective well-being of a Person’s Psyche. from one particular Mental State to another. A ‘Mental States’ is simply a “snapshot” in time that provides an approximation of the intended part of the Psyche.  not  involves foremost the ‘Laws of Association’ in order to successfully Recognise an Object of Perception that is composed of Signals, whether external i.e. radiation or of a particularThought. Mental Transformation occurs through Mental Processes of Association, as per the ‘Laws of Association’, applied to Sensory Perception or Mental Reflection. through a Recollection of, or Reflection upon, one or more Mental Images — i.e. “memory traces” of past Mental Experience. The word ‘Mental’ in Mental Experience is used here in place of e.g. ‘Conscious’ because Mental Experience involves Mental Processes and Mental Feelings that are both Conscious and Unconscious. Rather than any of these Mental Elements Perception and all forms of Thought, from the mundane to the profound. both mental images both the Experience of , both  — Laws of Association applying to one’s Memory Traces, then recalled as Mental Images to form more Ideas, and so on. All Ideas, In order to best understand Concepts, it is necessary to first Understand ideas. In essence, roughly Ideas = Memory Traces = Mental Images. Firstly, Mental Images draw on are frequently recollected as Mental Images. Therefore, Ideas = Memory Traces = Mental Images.  and only differ based on their contrasting time dimensions, since Mental Images are stored Experiential Impressions of present Ideas and of direct Sensory Perception. are Impressions of past Mental Content, including direct Sensory Perception and general Thought. These Mental Images link to each otther through varying Associative Processes form from the Laws of Association and according to the strength of each, in both Conscious and Unconscious domains of Awareness. The Structure as the irreplaceable basis for Concepts, start out as unrecognised and invalidated Information or signal form as a result of either Concept may build upon one sole Idea, however, the Idea will not rise to Concepthood without first addressing the qualifications of possessing Meaning and Value.  However, by no means are they “fundamental” parts of Mental Content, since all Concepts are built upon one or more Ideas. The Power of an idea multiplied by its Association strong enough Belief (degrees of Conviction) such Concepts represent Knowledge. They begin with one or more Ideas, the building blocks of Concepts, just as Concepts are the building blocks of Knowledge. From an Ontological perspective is a hierarchy of Information or Signals > Ideas > Concepts > Knowledge. an Idea or Set of Ideas is has Meaning attached to the Idea followed by Valuations built upon form by building Meaning and Value upon one or more interrelated Ideas.  Therefore, Ideas are fundamental building blocks of the Psyche, andConcepts are almost like “compound Ideas”. and Ideas are part of the same RelationalPsychology Framework, a Framework with a Triadic structure where all the relevant Mental Processes involved in arriving at a Concrpt are a part of the Framework  form whilst obeying three categories of Cognition and Consciousness, which are: Identity (through Association and Recogition), Meaning (through Interpretation and Understanding), and

In general, a Concept is “influenced” into creation by Mental Process. Firstly. there is a Motivation to do or say something, i.e. to repond to sensory signals one has felt. Not “cognised”, but felt. The ttrigger event to start the process that leads to either an experience of Conceptive Thoughts or Conceptive Feelings in various different settings. These Thoughts and Feelings are normally accompanied by unhelpful habits, attachments, desires, and cravings. The success of this can be measured by how much Attention that is Motivated for the relevant combination of Thoughts and Feelings.

Next in the processs is the formation of an Intention its purpoes, which is normally a reflection of any similar past experiences combined with inference for the gaps. These processes are usually regarded as Unconscious. This stream of the psyche applies purposeful measures to Regulate any form of action that is forming as an Intention, but is rationally undesirable.

A Percept is a Perception of a single Object through Unconsious Association Laws. The Percept is then named through the use of Language and Association Laws again. It is controversial as to whether the negation of an Object or Concepts meaning writes them off or not. I am yet to decide.

Next. the Percept of the Object is named with language with likely the correct team being drawn from Memory.
