Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this paper, we advocate a trans-theoretical approach to understanding the liminal space between conscious and unconscious processes, expanding the binary logic of Western psychology with the meta-reductive scientific perspectives and the indigenous Andean medicine tradition. A meta-theory description, inclusive of findings in quantum information, complexity, and fractal sciences combined with the ancestral Incan codes practiced by indigenous Andean medicine people (paqos) will be provided to map the uncharted dimensions of psychic spaces crossing temporal/atemporal boundaries in psychotherapy practice. Weaving together mind, brain, and psychophysical “uncanny” domains that happen within a clinical setting may further scientific and clinical understanding of the fractal patterning inherent within all living systems, and enhance the clinician’s capacity for therapeutic engagement in more profound and attuned ways. A systemic approach to formulating a deeper conceptualization of what constitutes the Self and boundaries between conscious and unconscious processes will be presented. It is the authors’ premise that psychological healing and emergence of new relational organization takes place in the fractal seams between conscious and unconscious self-states, where “uncanny” synchronistic connections bring new information and ways of being with each other into conscious awareness.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
