I can summon a feeling of anxiety just by thinking about how trapped I am in this time cocoon, my now. Nobody has anybody else's nows. Within any one's set of nows there are links with the quale of pastness, so that, normally, one's nows are totally ordered by pastness. While you are reading I attempt to guide your attention with each of these successive words. The manifestations of purpose are trajectories of objective and subjective procedures that may bring about the preferred future situation.
Attention is governed by purpose.
Natural language amplifies the capacity for parsing awareness . There is a probability distribution on the values of the attention field. The probability calculation factors through the principles and laws of quale mechanics, just as the probability of a physical event factors through the principles and laws of quantum mechanics. Attention guided by purpose selects mental models. A thought is an object in spacetime, and any thought gets attention.
