correlation between psychic mutation and geological mutation in a time sequence

related to psychic change & expression through the interpretation of landscape geological change as an effect of seasonal cycles.

erosion, weather patterns----psychic change, environmental stimulus


lacan

The central pillar of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory is that "the unconscious is structured like a language". The unconscious, he argued, was not a more primitive or archetypal part of the mind separate from the conscious, linguistic ego, but, rather, a formation every bit as complex and structurally sophisticated as consciousness itself.

If the unconscious is structured like a language, Lacan argued, then the self is denied any point of reference to which to be 'restored' following trauma or 'identity crisis'. In this way, Lacan's thesis of the structurally dynamic unconscious is also a challenge to the ego psychology that Freud himself opposed.

mirror stage

mirror stage as related to geological change processes- seasonal weather patterns etc.

psychic manifested physically. self referential in a pattern sequence of development.

the process of identification with an outside image or entity induced through, as he puts it, "insufficiency to anticipation – and which manufactures for the subject, caught up in the lure of spatial identification, the succession of phantasies that extends from a fragmented body-image to a form of its totality that I shall call orthopaedic – and, lastly, to the assumption of the armour of an alienating identity, which will mark with its rigid structure the subject’s entire mental development


The Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic

Lacan also formulated the concepts of the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic, which he used to describe the elements of the psychic structure.

The Imaginary, or non-linguistic aspect of the psyche, formulates human primitive self-knowledge while

the Symbolic, his term for linguistic collaboration, generates a community-wide reflection of primitive self-knowledge and creates the very first set of rules that govern behavior.

The Real is the unspeakable reality, always present but continually mediated through the imaginary and the symbolic.

positive course of action---"eigenstate"

positive course of action

decision making based on probability branch realities (probability distributions) the decision offers for future decisions.

decisions made for the future self with respect to optimum positive outcome & variability in future options.

the decision being the 'eigenstate' as the point of wave collapse(point of change) & point of future branching realities.

Generally, quantum mechanics does not assign definite values to observables. Instead, it makes predictions about probability distributions; that is, the probability of obtaining each of the possible outcomes from measuring an observable. Naturally, these probabilities will depend on the quantum state at the instant of the measurement. There are, however, certain states that are associated with a definite value of a particular observable. These are known as "eigenstates" of the observable ("eigen" meaning "own" in German).

In the everyday world, it is natural and intuitive to think of everything being in an eigenstate of every observable. Everything appears to have a definite position, a definite momentum, and a definite time of occurrence. However, Quantum Mechanics does not pinpoint the exact values for the position or momentum of a certain particle in a given space in a finite time, but, rather, it only provides a range of probabilities of where that particle might be. Therefore, it became necessary to use different words for a) the state of something having an uncertainty relation and b) a state that has a definite value. The latter is called the "eigenstate" of the property being measured.
