"Attention is not a purely physiological phenomenon,, but we cannot deny that it is accompanied by movements.
Note (1): Le mécanisme de l'attention. Alcan, 1888. |
(Our bold, color, violet bold italic problematics and violet bold problematics.) Bergson restarts his footnote counts on each page. So to refer a footnote, one must state page number and footnote number. Our bold and color highlights follow a code:
Bergson's description of attention here is very quantum, despite his reference to Le mécanisme de l'attention. Our interpretation of his words tells us that he sees our quantum stages as holistic, i.e. his reference to Fechner's use of "correlated." There is n¤ classical dichon(mind, body)! As Pirsig told us so eloquently (paraphrased), "Mind is in body and body is in mind." This is a direct statement of quantum compenetration of mind/body which we show in Quantonics as quanton(mind,body). To illustrate our compenetration with quantum n¤nactuality we script this: quantum_stagequanton(QVF,quanton(mind,body)). |

28 | "Ribot has studied more closely the movements which are characteristic of voluntary attention. "Attention contracts the frontal muscle: this muscle . . . draws the eyebrow towards itself, raises it and causes transverse wrinkles on the forehead. . . . In extreme cases the mouth is opened wide. With children and with many adults eager attention gives rise to a protrusion of the lips, a kind of pout." Certainly, a purely psychic factor will always enter into voluntary attention, even if it be nothing more than the exclusion by the will of all ideas foreign to the one with which the subject wishes to occupy. But, once this exclusion is made, we believe that we are still conscious of a growing tension of soul, of an [quantum] immaterial effort which increases. Analyse this impression and you will find nothing but the feeling of a muscular contraction which spreads over a wider surface or changes its nature, so that the tension becomes pressure, fatigue and pain." |
