Psychophysical Parallelism

[ I₁ ] - [ ( I₂ ≡ I₃ ) ]

§1: classification

• intra-psychic phenomenology: unspecified
  
  
• component analysis:
  • tribe: EO - existential and ontological components only
  • clan: ICD - separate origination of I₁ and I₃ not otherwise explained
  • family: P - defined by:
    • component interactions: none
    • will: determined
      
      
• ultimate explanation: dualistic

§2: descriptive analysis

psychophysical parallelism is the belief that the I₁ and the ( I₁ ≡ I₂ ) do not interact --- ever. they are like two clocks that each keep time separately; but, are not connected to each other. once they are separately set in motion, by God, they each run their deterministic course. they just look like they're interacting. do you remember the dinner scene from The Sixth Sense where the Bruce Willis character (who doesn't know he is dead) appears to be having dinner with his widow. psychophysical parallelism is the theory that all of life is like this: the I₁ and the ( I₁ ≡ I₂ ) only appear to interact.
