-Jung

THIS CONCEPT IS NOT CONSISTENT TO ME

the word encoded is a best-fit

WHAT HE CALLS SYMBOL IS MORE ACCURATE METAPHOR

OR KENNING

dunno what a kenning is

IS CONSCIOUSNESS FUNDAMENTALLY METAPHORICAL? IT WORKS BY COMPARISON

I think at the base level

consciousness is yes, fundamentally "metaphorical"

KENNING = THE USE OF REPEATED TROPES, LIKE "THE WINE-DARK SEA," TO EXPRESS CONTINUITY OF MEANING IN A WORK

i.e. as dreams

YES, I CAN AGREE WITH THAT

BUT INTUITION IS NOT SOLELY THAT

IT IS ALSO DIRECTION

AND SENSATION WHICH IS INDEFINED BECAUSE IT IS AT A LEVEL LOWER THAN CONSCIOUSNESS

sure, but nevertheless, it would derive from that realm

MORE LIKELY THE OTHER WAY AROUND

intuition would sniff out the truth or deeper meaning in metaphor

METAPHOR DERIVES FROM INTUITION

INTUITION IS THAT THERE IS ORDER, WHICH MEANS REPEATED STRUCTURES, AND THEREFORE METAPHOR WOULD WORK

there would be metaphor as understood, but there would be an ur-metaphorical source I think

AND SO WE RELY ON IT AS EXPRESSION

again, Jung

in the above, what Jung calls "primordial images"

UR-METAPHORICAL = THE INTUITIVE CONCEPT OF ORDER, I WOULD THINK

"ARCHETYPES" IS AN ESOTERIC CONCEPT

THINK OF IT THIS WAY

THIS IS METAPHOR AT ITS PUREST

this is an esoteric discussion anyway

THERE IS A STRUCTURE WHICH APPEARS IN MANY PLACES

go on

THEREFORE, IT MUST BE KNOWN BY ITS SIMPLEST DISTINCT EXPRESSION

AND ALL OTHERS ARE VARIANTS OF THAT

THIS IS HOW LANGUAGE WORKS AS WELL

you say "must be known by"

why not instead

there is a structure which appears in many places

therefore it must derive from

yes of course, all communication would work thusly

I guess it is all about priors

but thanks for your input
