Here's a little on "minding" over business: ~ Let them Eat Flat-Cake.

Or " How do you do it? - heir Doc tor.

since

Next to nothing is yet known about the neuroanatomy of symboling ----( that's Sym- bowling
for you non-believers.)

now

Man is characterized by a bear of very little/would like to think large brain, considered both absolutely and relatively, and it is reasonable -- even obligatory-- to believe that the central nervous system, especially the

forebrain, is the locus of the ability to Sym- bowl.

But how it does this and with what specific mechanism. remain to be discovered. One is thus led to the conclusion that at some point in the evolution when the ability to symbol] was realized and made explicit in overt behaviour.

There is no intermediate stage, logical or neurological, between sim bowling and non sym bowling; an individual or species is capable of sym bowling, or he or it is not.

Even if almost nothing is known about the neuroamatomy of sym bowling, a great deal is known about the evolution of mind (or "minding") if mind is considered as a process rather than a thing, in which one finds symboling as the characteristic of a particular stage of development. The evolution of minding can be traced in the following Seequence of FOUR ! stages.

Simple reflexive stage - contraction of the pupil

Conditioned reflexive stage - drooling at site of Bell

Instrumental stage - Controlling the Gym's walk-fit.

and finally

The SIM Bowl stage.



CSI!
