contradiction
Long ago an animal’s ability to tell when something in the environment contradicted its expectations had to have evolved. Certainly, human beings have such an ability. In knowlecular psychology, it depends on certain antagonistic pairs of urceptual (i.e., innate) knowlecules called dichotocules. The ways it works is straight-forward. When one dichotocule of such an antagonistic pair is activated, it automatically suppresses k-unit release (i.e., transmission of energy to other brain-cells) of the other to the degree that it is activated. When both are activated at the same time, sensory-cells sensitive to that will turn on a contradiction knowlecule (also urceptual). That neither of the two antagonistic dichotocules can become active will cause frustration–directly or indirectly. As a result, the subject will (or should) lower into accommodance.
Most contradiction knowlecules are activated by some motor or endocrinal dispute such as an arm’s trying to raise and lower itself at the same time (e.g., a child’s parent says not to make a sound, then the child sees a man aim a gun at the parent and tells his vocal cords to yell at the same time that he is continuing to tell them not to yell.) Other natural contradictions may exist, as between black and white, night and day, male and female. . . .
crank, kraahnk, noun: pseudosopher who draws on untenable premises to construct, with extreme logic, theories whose internal inconsistencies, however gross, and contradiction by external data, however damaging, his lack of exploratoriness prevents him from often encountering, his lack of critical intelligence prevents him from recognizing when he does encounter them, and whose inflexibility would prevent him from doing anything effective about if he did, yet never concedes he may be in any way wrong.

human activities
Art is the serious pursuit of beauty–by artists. It is not the passive enjoyment of beauty.
Verosophy is the serious pursuit of truth–the addition of understandings of existence to world culture, not merely the passive study of others’ understandings.
Utilitry is basically, engineering of some sort or another–the active construction of things or understandings whose purpose is to facilitate other activities as opposed to being carried out entirely for their own sakes, as art and verosophy are.
Sustenation is simply what we do as animals to stay alive and reproduce.
Quotidiation consists of such quotidian activities as gabbing with friends, taking a walk, playing with a dog, that are too trivial to count as art, verosophy or utilitry (but can include passive involvement with those).
Dominantry is what politicians and warriors of various sorts do to achieve positions of power which allow them to tell others how to live their lives.
Recreation consists of activities, mainly sports and games like Bridge and Parcheesi, that I consider more important than the activities covered by Quotidiation.
instacon, IHN stih cahn, noun, from “instant of consciousness”: the shortest unit of psychological time, or length of time it takes for a person to be aware of anything.
instinctilyst, ihn STIHNK tih lihst, noun, from “instinct” and “analyst”: a person whose aesthetic appreciation of an artwork is based primarily on the amount of instinctive pleasure it affords by means of its attention to stimuli normal human beings are automatically attracted to like a 3-month-year-old happy baby.
Internet troll, IHN tuhr neht TROHL: a psychopath who intrudes on Internet discussions seeking solely to damage, or–better–utterly destroy, someone else’s self-esteem, probably out of jealousy over not having any of his own.

reality, ree AAH lih tee, noun: that which causes a conscious mind perceptually to experience it; there are two kinds: subjective reality and objective reality; the former is what one person perceptually experiences or believes himself to have experienced but which few or no other persons have also perceptually experienced; the latter what many people have perceptually experienced.

sagaceptual awareness narrative-awareness. (This, to be very brief, has to do with a person’s awareness of himself as the hero of a saga and is the basis of goal- directedness, deriving from the
hunting-instinct that I believe even primitive organisms have; it also derives from the predator-avoidance instinct we all also seem to have–in which case one’s sagaceptual goal is escape from an evil rather than
acquisition of a good.)

KNOWLECULE: a brain’s record of a unit of
knowledge (e.g., a single word in a poem, when taken at its simplest
face-value meaning–as “horse,” for instance, would be when
considered to mean the animal. It would include all that the word
connotes for the indicidual involved.
KNOWLEPLEX a brain’s record of any closely related system
or network of knowlecules–“horse,” for example, when it represents
all the make up a horse, such as a heart, lungs, legs, etc.
KNOWLEXPANSE the representation (or recording) in the
brain of all the data a vocational field or the like, such as
literature requires
KNOWLECULINK a link between two knowlecules; used to
transmit energy from one to the other, or vice versa
NEOWLECULINK a knowleculink which is new for the
individual forming it
NEOWLEPLEX the knowleplex formed when a neowleculink is
laid down
MICREATIVITY (short for “micro-creative”), the creativity
that results in a neowleplex that is a neowleplex only for the
individual it arises in, not for society as a whole.
ALPHA-CREATIVITY the creativity that results in a
neowleplex which is new to the individual’s culture if the
neowleplex comes to be highly valued by the individual’s society
DELTA-CREATIVITY the creativity that results in a
neowleplex which is new to the individual’s culture if the
neowleplex never comes to be highly valued by the individual’s
society: the gifted amateur interior decorator, or the Sunday
painter of talent, for instance, but not most people, who are
generally micreative
CREATIVITY any of the three varieties of creativity just
listed
CULTURATEUR maker of culturally-significant works of art,
science or some other equally major cultural field; always
alpha-creative
