Entry 1758 — My New Blogs
Friday, March 20th, 2015
Today’s blog entry is at my Knowlecular Psychology Blog. Make that was at my Knowlecular Psychologt Blog. As soon as I posted the entry, I realized my new set-up is not likely to work because Pages are not Blogs, they will just go on and on as single pages until, it’s my guess, they reach a limit. I could set up three new real blogs but they’d be too much trouble to operate. So, I’m now shutting down my pseudo-blogs, and poeticks.com will go back to the being the dithered mess it’s been for the past several years. Beginning with what I had in my Knowlecular Psychology Blog for today:
Entry 1746 — A Possible Invention & A List
Sunday, March 8th, 2015

An email from Richard Kostelanetz got me thinking about invented moves in writing of the kind he tries for–in everything he writes except his conventional prose works, it would seem. Result: the possible invention above. Its difference from all other such works is very minor, but does distinguish it from all other such works, if I really am the first to make such a thing. The are a great number of permutations of the basic idea possible. Would each be consider a lexical invention, I wonder. . . .
Now the list:
The Knowleculations, or kinds of knowlecular data in accordance with size
KNOWLEBIT smallest unit of knowledge
KNOWLEDOT all the knowlebits in a mnemodot[1]
KNOWLECULE the equivalent of a word’s worth of knowledge
KNOWLECULANE the equivalent of a sentence’s worth of knowledge
KNOWLECUMIZATION the equivalent of a paragraph’s worth of knowledge
KNOWLEPLEX the equivalent of a chapter’s worth of knowledge
KNOWLAXY the equivalent of a book’s worth of knowledge
KNOWLIVERSE a person’s entire store of knowledge
[1] a mnemodot is a single storage-unit in one or another of the cerebrum’s many mnemoducts; it is what all the percepts (i.e., units of perceptual data coming from the external or internal environment) and retrocepts (i.e., activated units or data stored as memories) of the kind the mnemoduct is responsible for that reach it during an instacon, or instant of consciousness [2]

Here beginneth my knowlecular psychology blog.
This has been up for a day or so and has had three visitors! I wasn’t sure anyone was interested in my totally uncertified theory. Anyway, I think the three of you, even though you may all just be students of abnormal psychology. (Actually, I think you’re all academics stealing ideas from me. No problem. Although I would like getting credit for them, I’ve gone too long without any recognition for even one of them to be able any longer to care much.)
Entry 1 — Plexed and Unplexed Data
This won’t be much of an entry, just some notes from another bedtime trickle of ideas. Two nights ago, I think. It is just a return to the presentation of my theory of accommodance. I’d been thinking of it as retroceptual data versus perceptual data, or a person’s memory versus the external stimuli he’s encountering. It’s not an easy dichotomy, though, because it’s really strong memories versus perceptual data and random memories. So I split the data involved into assimilated versus unassimilated data, or fragmentary versus unified, or unconsolidated versus consolidated. Later I got more rigorous: there are, I now posit, plexed and unplexed data, or data consolidated into a knowleplex and “free” data, mostly coming in from a person’s external or internal environment but sometimes containing retrocepts (bits of memory) that have not yet been consolidated into a knowleplex.
I had a second thought: that some plexed data could come from the environment. This would occur when a person encountered a complex of stimuli that quickly activated some knowleplex he had and accompanied it. Ergo, there were two kinds of plexed data: retroceptual and perceptual; there were two kinds of unplexed data, too: retroceptual and perceptual. I think of perceptual plexed data as “preplexed,”

Maybe when I’m not in my null zone, where I am now, I’ll come up with a better idea for improving my blog.
