| Abstract: | Documents a data-based theory that proposes that a domain exists both in the world and in the brain that is best described in frequency terms. In this frequency domain, events are distributed and each part represents the whole. The hologram provides a model for this form of organization. In order for the world of appearances to become manifest (in perception), a transformation from the frequency domain into the space/time domain must occur. The transfer functions that accomplish this transformation are proposed to operate hierarchically, much as in a computer that provides the model for this portion of the theory. Conscious perception--the appearance of reality--is therefore conceived to be constructed by the operation of programlike structures on a holographic-like matrix. (3 p ref) |
