Subject: [humanmarkup] Base Schema - thought
Here we go again. Base Schema - thought This is a Complex Type element with the abstract attribute. It takes the attribute group humlIdentifierAtts. It does not reference other elements and is not used by other elements. It is defined/desccribed as Human Thought A set of human thought types. There is no doubt that this element is needed. However, unlike Personality, where we have an established set of typing systems to which we can, (thanks be), defer, here we don't and I am rather reluctant to stick my toe into these waters to see what the temperature is at the moment. If conscious is difficult to nail down to tangible concepts, or concepts grounded in tangibility or common sense, thought is more so. If there is anything in human consciousness more ephemeral, please don't tell me about it. I'm sorry, but as we near the end of this task, I can't help but set the stage for the Secondary Base Schema, where thought types will need to be enumerated. So, for those of you who will shortly be tasked with building our model of human perception/congnition from the elements of the combined Base Schemata, I suggest strongly that you give some serious consideration to what constitutes a thought, a thought type and how you want to use it as the atom of which human thought systems will be built. This is a way of saying, it probably aint gonna be me. I'm switching over the Human Physical Characteristics Description and focusing most all of my other efforts on systematizing emotional expressions and kinesic gestures. That doesn't mean I won't contribute my opinions, but about the most I can do in that regard will be to massage the classes/properties to reflect the now-codified base, and the enlargements as they come along, and the biggest of those, which I hope to cheer y'all on toward, is perception/cognition. Beware, There Be Dragons.... (Of course, if you check my website, you'll know I happen to love Dragons. However, they are fearsome powerful...)
