The very same shape which you must draw to give the illusion of a straight road receding from the spectator is also the shape you draw for a dunce's cap. As with the lines, so with the shading. Symbolization in natural human discourse is never more than the finger pointing at the moon, never the moon itself. And the transpositional quality of expression is fundamental to, and perhaps even evolutionarily prior to, the form of social institutions that depend upon symbolic understanding, which means that the set of limitations imposed by expression on the mutual adjustment of cognitive processes in institutions must be clearly understood before the institutions themselves can be understood. Yet the cognitive and experiential reality unfolding in any human brainmind is far richer than any symbolic medium can possibly describe.
Experience is thus transcendental relative to symbolic expressions of experience.
There are severe limits to how much information about the experience of swimming can be communicated by a professional swimmer to a person who has never been near the water, no matter what symbolic system is being used. And yet remarkably little symbolic communication is required between swimmers to evoke the awareness of a shared experience. The symbolic function of the human brain has, of course, evolved over the long period of the emergence of the hominid line. I will carry on in a Tangent on this topic you may want to check out. Well, we have again reached the end of a tutorial session.
