Brilliant!

Yes, the ToK can be thought of as a proposal to map the “behavioral field” mapped by science’s third person exterior observe/measure/experiment theories of behavioral change.

It starts with the singular substance at the Big Beginning. This is the singular and absolute largest point. Planck’s constant is the absolute smallest empirically observable behavioral unit (the smallest “particular”), and sets the limits on the “smallness” of measurable units of space and time<https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2012/01/planck-length-as-minimal-length.html>.

And finally, there is the human scientist knower and the “place” of human knowledge…This is what the diagram is getting at. Notice, if you check the link above, you will see the standard representation of the “measurement field”; however, the FULL behavioral field requires the placement of the human knower and the relationship between the empirical measurement and the placement in human justification systems.

Yes, yes, yes!!! It is a picture of the ultimate field.



Then the next question is…ok, what is it really a field of? In physics, a field is a physical quantity of (tensor) relations. Illustrated here:

What do the lines represent? They represent the “messenger particles communicating forces” between the primary material nodes (of say an electron and proton communicating the electromagnetic force via photons as messenger particles).



What the ToK posits that the “frequency of fields” vibrate/exist at different planes. The Organism-Life plane refers to information instantiated and processed by the cell and communicated between cells. We call such patterns living behavioral processes. (In other words, imagine the two nodes as cells, communicating via chemicals)



The Animal-Mind plane presents the information instantiated and processed by the brain-nervous system and communicated between animals. We call such patterns mental behavioral processes. (In other words, imagine those two nodes as rats, communicating via sensory motor processes)



The Person-Culture plane represents the information instantiated and processed by the ego (mental organ of linguistic justification) and communicated between persons. We call such patterns cultural behavioral processes (this email ☺).



This is why the ToK is a prism through which decipher the frequencies of behavior:

The ultimate field view! That is what we are after to sort out the issues.

Hi Gregg,

What you seem to be describing is what Jung called,"introverted intuition":


  *   "Intuition, in the introverted attitude, is directed upon the inner object, a term we might justly apply to the elements of the unconscious. For the relation of inner objects to consciousness is entirely analogous to that of outer objects, although theirs is a psychological and not a physical reality. Inner objects appear to the intuitive perception as subjective images of things, which, though not met with in external experience, really determine the contents of the unconscious, i.e. the collective unconscious, in the last resort. Naturally, in their per se character, these contents are, not accessible to experience, a quality which they have in common with the outer object. For just as outer objects correspond only relatively with our perceptions of them, so the phenomenal forms of the inner object are also relative; products of their (to us) inaccessible essence and of the peculiar nature of the intuitive function. Like sensation, intuition also has its subjective factor, which is suppressed to the farthest limit in the extraverted intuition, but which becomes the decisive factor in the intuition of the introvert. Although this intuition may receive its impetus from outer objects, it is never arrested by the external possibilities, but stays with that factor which the outer object releases within."

Also, in light of our discussion in another thread about associating introversion with fields (as opposed to associating extraversion with objects) it would seem that the image that popped into your head (the ToK and your and psychology's relationship to it) represents the ultimate field.

Hi TOK List,

  Here is the second part of the blog series I did with Dr. John Vervaeke on the “onto-normativity” problem. In it, I share a “transcendent experience” I had and then look at it through the lens he had developed called the “continuity hypothesis” which explains how transcendental experiences can be thought of as enhanced flow-into-altered states that enable people to get a more “optimal grip” on the self-world (or agent-arena) relationship:
