Organic Phonemes and Early Literacy — (1 page summary) We established via research that 1st grade American children vary greatly in their history of word exposures with some children having experienced as little as 20 million words and some as many as 100 million. We established that 90 percent of 1st grade American children will

Deep read our 12 point research summary of the Organic Phoneme Paradigm In our exploration of the VWFA and PQS you said: “with literacy, left ventral occipitotemporal cortex becomes increasingly tuned to the visual regularities of the writing system, ranging from letters through recurring letter combinations and larger orthographic units. Proposed hierarchies move from visual features

VWFA research does not directly validate PQs. What it does reveal is a neural architecture of reading that makes the kind of intervention PQs performs especially interesting. The most relevant finding is that the VWFA is not simply a photographic “whole-word recognizer.” With literacy, left ventral occipitotemporal cortex becomes increasingly tuned to the visual regularities

My “Happy Easter” post became the starting point of a very interesting dialogue between myself and my friend Doug. It’s a fascinating journey into learning and belief in general, and into our beliefs about learning in particular. The following is a review of our dialogue that begins with a (ChatGpt) summary of the dialogue with

End summary: This considers learning a self-renewing participation in meaning, not the acquisition of information. This aligns with Bohm, Varela, Piaget, but goes beyond each by adding: • a geometry (parabola) • a mechanism (co-implication density) • an apex (inflection) • a cycle (wingbeat) • a unifying scope (micro → macro) Advantages of this definition

Have you ever noticed someone veer off on a tangent? Have you ever noticed your how your own thoughts migrate off into tangents? I mean by “tangent migrations”, changes to the direction of the unfoldment of meaning in the stream of consciousness or a train of thought due to the emotional charge of a memory

I’ve been very fortunate to be included in an email group with around fifty leading thinkers in healthcare and health science. The groups main initiator is Dr. Rick Lippin, who I’ve have known through correspondence only for 20 years. He is amazing at stirring up good conversations. He appreciates my perspective and occasionally tags me

These are most of the the chats that are part of the ChatGpt Project “PreLiterate Auditory Experiences: Organic Phonemes”. They are the background chats summarized in the “12 Keys of Organic Phonemes”. They are not in order of importance or occurrence, though this set began with “English “R” Sound Variations”. I am sharing them as

This bears repeating. Sometime back in the younger days of AI, I asked Google Bard (Gemini’s original name): DB: Come up with a complex word riddle that has the answer: learning – You are a skilled riddle maker, known for the cleverness of your wordplay and the complexity of your puzzles, skilled at thinking up
The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle defines a boundary deep in the nature of reality that can never be learned beyond. The Learning Uncertainty Principle defines a boundary deep in the nature of mind that can never be learned beyond. Just as with the classical-quantum threshold, there is a threshold between our learning and the reality outside
