Area of Science:

  • Phenomenology and Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience of Perception and Cognition

Context:

  • Existing concepts of delusion lack a unified phenomenological definition.
  • Intuitive cognition relies on preverbal, holistic processing via eidetic matrices.
  • Eidetic feelings, arising from matching phenomena to matrices, have three core aspects.

Purpose:

  • To define the essential nature of delusion through a phenomenological-conceptual lens.
  • To analyze the role of intuitive cognition and eidetic matrices in delusion.
  • To establish a framework for understanding delusion as a disturbance in information processing.

Summary:

  • Delusion is conceptualized as a disturbance in holistic information processing, involving disinhibition and actualization of eidetic matrices.
  • The resulting 'eidetic feeling' in delusion mirrors the three aspects of normal eidetic feelings: preverbal knowledge, self-referential significance, and perceived power vectors.
  • Delusional ideas are the verbal and thought-based expressions of this disturbed eidetic feeling.

Impact:

  • Provides a novel framework for understanding delusion, integrating concepts like delusional mood and ideas of reference.
  • Facilitates a deeper understanding of the subjective experience of delusion.
  • Aids in the diagnosis and differentiation of delusional disorders by clarifying underlying mechanisms.
