Where art thou, brain These words are coming from where, exactly? Am I typing them as I think them, or am I planning what I should be writing. # Staying on Target It's really difficult to say when typing randomly, and a big part of the problem is the fact that we make mistakes. The errors take us off course and give us a new target, at least for a short period. We need to maintain a target for long periods in order to propose other aspects of the system, or other phenomena which may or may not coincide and/or affect the target at large. # Can the Conscious Effectively Reflect on the Unconscious Here is another experiment for a second stream of thought / conscious reflection. Am I reflecting on the unconscious through a conscious decision, or is it a stream directly from the conscious. In Freud's estimation, the unconscious mind and its working cannot be known by the conscious mind, but if the conscious is informed and influenced by the unconscious, then surely there might be some sort of inference or method of extrapolation which can be deduced. For example, if it's true that the unconscious mind is a "reservoir" of, among other things, feelings, then surely the feeling affects sensory experience. If any sensation or mood can be identified, then it must necessarily follow that, unless the unconscious mind were to be suspended or interrupted, it is, and has been, influencing those sensations or moods of the identified period. Thus, as a very basic example, one could say that the anger I feel is caused by unconscious reflections being made about some passing observation, experience and belief, and sets of each of these can be determined and used to attempt to ascertain the unconscious artifact, routine or the topic which was mediating the unconscious mind. As there are constants webs and chains of various types of systems of relationship, from strict parent-child subordination and casually competitive sibling-type interlocution, reliably familiar trivial affects and affects of incapacitating obscurity. Nevertheless, there are those to which more attention is drawn, and those to which more time is appropriated. If there is any merit to the accepted understandings of scientific insight, then it should at least begin with expectation that there is some significance to that which is receiving attention from the organism. Does this necessarily mean Freud was wrong? Perhaps, or perhaps not, depending on the semantics of his argument. Without knowing it thoroughly, we can assume that he has already fleshed out the aforementioned arguments and found himself still retaining his inclination to make a statement separating the two, that is, claiming that the conscious mind cannot know about the unconscious mind. Is there, perhaps, some level of abstraction where this is true? Can we separate levels of abstraction of interpreting the relationship of conscious and subconscious mind and discover that there are some where the relationship is without a vector for pursuing reflection of the unconscious by the conscious? Furthemore, if it is the case that we can come to reveal these distinctions, can we produce a hierarchy for these abstractions such that those positting the inability for the conscious to perceive the unconscious are placed at the very top?
