Apophenia

Apophenia (verbum Graecissans, vel Latine "exemplaritas"; Anglice patternicity), est inclinatio humana ad inventum exemplarum significantium in sonitu non significanti."'Patternicity,' which I defined in my December 2008 column as the human tendency to find meaningful patterns in meaningless noise" (Michael Shermer, "Agenticity," Scientific American, Iunio 2009, p. 36). Secundum Michaelem Shermer, physicum scriptoremque Americanum qui se scepticum appellat, exemplaritas faciem in Marte, imaginem Mariae Virginis in asso casei pastillo, et nuntios satanicos in musica rock gignit. Ea, una cum agenticitate, "sunt cognitiva shamanismi, paganismi, animismi, polytheismi, monotheismi, et omnium spiritualismi aetatum Veteris et Novae modorum fundamenta."Michael Shermer, "Agenticity," Scientific American, Iunio 2009, p. 36. Et secundum Claum Conrad, symptoma schizophreniae esse putaturConrad K. (1958). Die beginnende Schizophrenie. Versuch einer Gestaltanalyse des Wahns.
