Possibility Theory and Metaphor Induction

"The Structure of Medical Decision Making"
|
|
Perception of possibility is the fundamental level of consciousness.
This is the mode in which the Universe first manifests awareness of itself - of its own nature - through the agency of the evolved brain.
|
|
Through the creative application of metaphor, possibility is grasped as an object for the subject in mind,
so that, through the ensuing subject-object interaction, intended possibility is actualized.
This is the origin and the goal of objective knowledge.
|
|
This intentional response to the domain of possibility distinguishes human cognition from machine learning (AI).
It is the source of emergence, the course-correcting guide in decision making, and the arbiter of truth, as it is constituted in the terms of each era.
|
|
The doctor-patient relationship is the primal milieu wherein human possibility is perceived and grasped as object, formulated first in the negative as illness,
for its actualization as health.
This creative process is described in
The Medical Ethic
by Dr. Noblett.
