Formation Data Context in the Mind
Formation Data Context (Reference): https://sites.google.com/site/jbhhpu/formationdatacontext
[Formation Data Context is the study of the effect of changes of context on the formation of data through s system; and the effect of this formation process on the context and thus the meaning of the data. Data development and use in a system is a dynamic process and like "measuring the wind". It can only be static when the system is shut down completely for a time.]
The problem with conscious / subconscious designation is that neither is subordinate to the other. The two are separate functions. Because the Shadow system is not seen [by our consciousness], it becomes difficult to evaluate from a structured standpoint. But even the conscious has this problem as its polymorphic processing is not amenable to structured analysis. I prefer to designate the Shadow system as the "befo" (pidgin for a word that means something like "before" but is more specific and thus more useful here). Then the instantiated real memory portion of the mind and the functions available to it is the "afta" (the pidgin word that is similar to "after"). This saves us from the "who is in control problem" and makes it clearer that the relationship is functional, like a computer bridge.
Befo and Afta and Formation Data Context
In the mind, this is part of the staging of the Formation Data Context. Through this staging the blip on our inner screen that is a nerve impulse, that the mind needs to interpret in order to understand; is “formed” in some steps that turn that blip into a thought with the associated context that provides its meaning. So the Formation Data Context process forms a blip of a nerve signal into a meaningful memory. This is befo and afta.
The biggest problem with the subconscious is “left-over” trauma. The trauma was in a hurry, and it caused us to be in a hurry, which means we didn’t get a chance to fully instantiate the information during the incident or incidents. The information is also painful in some way. So this information appears to remain in the subconscious (the Archetype system) and un-instantiated. But that seems to affect our lives in considerable ways. The worst part is that the trauma interferes with our connection to reality (with some form of anxiety); which actually needs to be able to work through the Archetype system; which is now bruised. We have to trust reality (to survive) but cannot. Defining these two parts of our minds as functionally related helps take away much of the ethical guilt associated with tying these functions together hierarchically.
The Archetype, expressed as something singular and also more general and universal, is the negative region to logical and rational thought [Jung]. It gives the logical and rational meaning by holding the symbols in some (polymorphic linking [Heath]) configuration. But the configuration of the Archetype is like the (photographic) negative of the logical and rational process [Jung] (it is in the befo and not the afta - the befo is the uninstantiated [the negative] version of the afta). So it fills the empty space of logical and rational thought (and provides the meaning [it holds the meaning in the form of extensions to already instantiated memories]). It fulfills the meaning of such thought as such thought is merely symbols that have either no meaning in themselves [there is no reason for words to have meaning - atomic and immutable - without context] or that may have some meaning but not exactly the meaning that is referenced in some logical and rational thought [Jung]. Here the meaning arises out of the real memories that are extended from that Archetype (forming polymorphic linkages). But, as we discuss below, the meanings as patterns blossom (are visualized) from the polymorphic links between the memories as they are extended from the Archetypes.
The Shadow
The Shadow as part of the thought process is the link to our surroundings through our most abstract class (the Shadow), which is the ultimate basis for all thought [Jung] (the base class of our compiler). Some might consider this class as a blank slate (which it might look like at first glance) but, as the arbiter of all thought, it has to have the capability to arbitrate our thoughts, as we develop them. Then the Shadow as our Thunk is also the Dealer. The data buckets, below, at the bottom of the four images are in the shadow. Each bucket is a Shadow class item (uninstantiated means is is an item not an object).
Modern programming languages are highly and strongly typed. This is necessary for a number of reasons, including the security of apps. But because of the strong typing, when data or processing comes into the app from outside the app there can be problems with using the data or processing in the app due to typing issues. If it is from outside the system it would most likely not be typed, and if it is from another app within the system it could have an unfamiliar type. Without correct typing the data or processing of whatever form cannot be used as it is. It would just cause a serious error.
Many years ago (early in computer history) they invented a thunk. The thunk is a way of dealing with this problem. The thunk changes the data or processing just enough so it hides the typing problem from the operating system. This may be a partial typing of the element or the adding of pointers or special addressing. The data or processing can then be used or moved to the next step without a type error. At that next step the data or processing is further or completely typed since at this point the typing needed is more recognizable; with minimum intelligence and in a simple step. It is not a perfect solution, but it does work and is used commonly to solve the data entry problem.
The Shadow and the Archetypes are our link to reality. The Shadow is our Thunk. We need to understand how this link works so we can base our analysis and development on Reality rather than on Theory. Part of capturing Reality is the fact that the Shadow acts as our Dealer also.
Demonstrating Shadow Processing
In the pictures below the Shadow Class Items are represented as Buckets.
Befo Processing
Words are linked to a chain of meaning (patterns of meaning) from the polymorphic process. The polymorphic mind can "see" these relationships, just enough to create meaning in our thoughts.
This is like shadow puppets dancing on a screen. As they pass through each other we can see “pattern or not” quickly. When there are enough pattern matches we have the understanding of the link. The patterns make sense (in other words: form their own combined pattern).

The Bridge System in the Computer does what "da befo" and "da afta" does in the Mind - Note How Data Entry and Output are Separated from "Normal" Processing
Polymorphic Interpreting
This is an extremely powerful way for the mind to recognize patterns very quickly. The Archetypes, themselves, are not instantiated, so they cannot be seen; they are part of the "subconscious" - the befo; in the shadow.
Abstract classes?cannot be instantiated “in themselves”. Each Archetype, is an abstract class. It gives the logical and rational meaning by holding the symbols in the polymorphic configuration. Archetypes are in the “shadow” (sub-conscious or befo [meaning not instantiated]) of a conscious symbol, which is extended into the memory object. The Archetype fulfills the meaning of the symbol in thought. The Archetype molds a thought into meaning [Jung]. The Shadow (an Archetype) is the Archetype of Archetypes (the shadow of all shadows; and the base class of all base classes for our compiler).
Meaning - The Real Basis of Processing Language
This is the Key to the Process:
The establishment of a new node with its definition (Meaning) based on the series of extended nodes (memory objects) linked to this Archetype.
A New Memory Object is Instantiated
This is the Mind's default processing
This is how Meaning works in memory - as formulated by Jung. The Archetypes are the center of Meaning; and are attached to the mental memory objects (through extension), and to the earth (through the Shadow Archetype) [an interpretation of Jung]. The sum total of all that (extended memories and the Archetypes) is what I call the context (the context is the transcendental, or transcendence is contextual[DJH] - this is the room we live in - mindfulness).
To understand language I picture that there is some kind of probability holes that words can fit into [per Jung]. But the structure must be surrounded by applicable memories that are somehow linked to the memory holes [Archetypes] so the content can be matched, quickly, to the contexts we already have. This matching starts tentatively. As the probability of success in interpretation goes up, the context and content are arrived at smoother, faster, and with immediate links to [context and] meaning.
Old Lane
Understand that the words have meaning through the context of extended Archetypes. The polymorphic links between the objects extended from an Archetype (or set of Archetypes) provide the meaning to the text. The sentence itself gains meaning through the polymorphic links in the mind’s context [including any real memories and the links between them and the Archetypes]. This is how we have meaning. This is not truth based; there is no time and no methodology for a truth table. But it needs to be “true”; that is "real" ("real" is a better understanding of our conceptual basis of the process - mindfulness). The formation of patterns of linked objects (under the control of the Archetypes) creates the sense of meaning. When combined into stories that are related to our narrative, a sense of consciousness is recognized.
Any real language is based on context rather than being based on atomic and immutable words and sentences. And how can we interpret this kind of language? All of the language on earth - everyone's language - except that of structuralist philosophers - are contextually based. I would say that all languages are based on context and everyone (except a structuralist) is quite capable of interpreting statements made in such a language. The problem is that the interpretation of the listener is then not guaranteed to be exactly the intent of the originator. But can it ever be?
Afta Processing - Meaning from Patterns
This is the (Internal) Context and the Afta [used to be called the Conscious] View of the Mind
This is the Context
This is also the Afta View of the Mind
Consciously Observed Portion of the Polymorphic Database
(Not all of this is Visualized at One Time)
(The Buckets [Set of Shadow Objects] is not Visualized Consciously)
This is the rules of real discourse, because language as it was created by our predecessors (and there are a large number of separate languages that all follow these rules) is not structural; language is contextual. The reason it is contextual is that our?polymorphic minds are contextual [and the universe is actually harmonically contextual]. Context is always polymorphic [real context]. That [polymorphism] is how "it" [the context] becomes meaning. You should say communication is based on meaning rather than truth. Then the context is the transcendental. We understand contextually. The meaning is the only ultimate "truth" [again - "real" is a better understanding of this conceptual basis point]. And this meaning cannot be absolute (the absoluteness that the philosophers desired). Things change beyond our control. What was true [real] ten minutes ago is no longer true [real]. After all it is polymorphic (polymorphic means the solutions are manifold or harmonic). [Note, again, how "real" is a better basis for our discussion than “truth”.]
Interpreting Using Polymorphic Methodology
The Shadow and the Archetypes are our link to reality. We need to understand how this link works so we can base our analysis and development on Reality rather than on Theory.
All that above is going to extreme details on the befo. We now have a shorter coverage for the afta. The total afta processing is more involved than we have time for here. Consider the processes of Loomis’s - Data Management and File Structures - which needs to be reinterpreted and reinvented into the structure of our mind’s process [Link, Compare, Whatever, . . . ]; then it needs to be examined in order to fit into the data structure of the polymorphic “database”; which handles all lists and all data storage [database] needs; both done in a very similar manner. Oh, yes; the data base here is the [internal] context that we have been talking about.

Afta or Archetype Processing
[Afta is the type of functioning we ascribe to what we used to call the conscious mind. Befo represents the processing that we called the sub-conscious. The befo/afta designations emphasizes that the difference between the two mental processes is not hierarchical, but function and timing. Befo/Afta emphasizes that the key difference has to do with timing and not authority.?Again it is differences in function and timing that distinguishes these processes not hierarchy.]

[My first textbooks were for my algorithm course. I designed the course too, at Metro State. Later I wrote textbooks for other computer courses, at various schools, that were basically algorithms used to help learn the programming in those courses. Reverse Engineering the Universe was the beginning of my quest for the algorithms of the universe. The books that followed, as I recognize now, were studies of algorithms in different areas.
Notice that in algorithm textbooks the pictures are part of or maybe most of the argument for what we are talking about on this page. Check out Mary Loomis texts as examples.?She is the most accepted algorithm textbook writer. My algorithm texts were much more that way; the pictures where most, if not all, of the argument. Note that my textbooks were successful in teaching algorithms and programming in general.
So now I am writing about the algorithms of the universe (from some kind of reverse engineering) and the importance of the pictures, as part of the argument, is still there. It is sometimes paramount. The effort above is a discussion of the algorithms of Befo and Afta processing in our minds. Below are some examples of my algorithm books.]
