In a sense such notions of *Being, Time, Nothing, Presence* etc could be
said to conceptually *stand out* or be instantiated representationally, as being
the ideational, template-based activity of the human brain, which
neurologically and synapsally configures itself to symbolise such ideational activity
Jud, is “synapsally” one of your words/phrases (like “ideational,
template-based activity”)? If so, what do you mean with it? Is it meant in the same
sense as the adverb “synaptically” — in the manner of a synapse (a joining
together)? [Genuine question, not meant ironically or rhetorically; you rarely,
if ever, mis-spell words]
synaptically yours (according to the tympan kid)

Hi Michael:
Your are quite correct, My habit has been to use the word deliberately and
neologistically in the sense of the diffusive reticular nature of
connception rather than more local brain connectivity. It bespeaks of the more
extensive chemico-electrical switching on and off of the [synapsal] gates which is
a feature of the constant templatel networked rearrangement or *patterning*
[not to be confused with the Wittgensteinian notion of a picture language.]
One could I suppose use the crude metaphor of the thousands of little hooks,
some connected to skeins of material and some unconnected, that are a
feature of any loom which weaves patterns of cloth, or the presence or absence of
the hundreds of tiny metal spikes which can be found on the old fashioned
piano-rolls or musical boxes, which if they engage with patterns of perforations
in the paper of the revolving drum, or the metal tangs of varying length
of the music-box *harp* produce the polytonal patterns which we recognise as
music.
In view of the fact that my adverbial variant *synapsally* has been picked
up by you as in some way confusing, and because I respect your grasp of
language, the odds are that others with similar talents would/will also be confused
with this variant. In which case I will drop the word and opt for the
traditional spelling.
Thanks for the input which is much appreciated.
regards,
Jud Evans.
