Hi Amilcar, "So GSM, perception 'is' continuous until the mind (pre-linguistic/natural partitions and linguistic/artificial partitions) creates categories to divvy up the world. However, once one of those 'natural partitions' are made, they're not continuous anymore. Rather these natural and artificial partitions are points of discontinuity where our brain differentiates between objects. We still percieve/sense continuously, but what we sense gets divvied and filed much like change getting sorted in a machine or a running river breaking its stride into two streams. A question about deleting, generalizing and distorting in relation to natural partitions (for both GSM and JS) Do you think natural partitions categories such as 'not part of the ground floor' or 'red') delete, generalize and distort? and if so, or not so, what do they (or don't they) delete, generalize and distort?" Well there's a case of 'selective attention' on the part of the individual concerned going on during attention and generation of natural partitions. Further these natural partitions are the product of the sorting functions of sensorial and neurological transfroms (f1 transforms in Whispering). These sensorial and neurological transforms can quite clearly be affected by the genome and developmental characteristics of previous experience, neuological patternings, excitations, inhibitions and associations (memories and developed neurological pathways). This will be specific for each person and context in time and space. As you describe well, the naming or labeling of objects and aspects of experience fits what Whispering describes as an f2 transform - and what I have described as making connections about associations and the 'slicing up of experience' over very seperate contexts of experience in time and space.
