2.1 Concepts of Cognition

Article 7 - Subconscious

Canon 714 (link)

SubConscious (more commonly written as “subconscious”) is a term used to define one (1) of the five (5) Fundamental Systems of Mind that is fundamental to the storage, retrieval of memories and emotions. Subconscious is one (1) of three (3) systems of the "Lower" Mind.

Canon 715 (link)

Subconscious is derived from the word conscious and sub meaning "below" in Latin. Hence, Subconscious literally means "below / underpinning knowledge, science or skill" reflecting the function and purpose of the Subconscious.

Canon 716 (link)

The Subconscious Mind is directly connected to the interconscious Mind and indirectly connected to the conscious and Superconscious Mind.

Canon 717 (link)

By definition, the Subconscious Mind is all those cognitive functions to which the conscious Mind is unaware that are then connected to the interconscious. In contrast to the conscious and interconscious Mind, the Subconscious Mind is the most measurable of the three (3) as it is strongly connected to the automatic functions of the body which the conscious Mind “assumes” take care of themselves.

Canon 718 (link)

Subconscious Mind is most closely associated with the physical apparatus of the CYTO nervous system being the Enteric Nervous System (intestines and colon) of highly developed of triple neural network “placental birth” life forms such as mammals.

Canon 719 (link)

In relation to the Knowledge Management Model of Mind, the Subconscious is equivalent to the Data storage, retrieval and access systems.

Canon 720 (link)

An essential period of the operation of the Subconscious Mind is in a state of deep REM sleep when the interconscious interacts with the equivalent of conscious duties and functions and the Subconscious systems of the body also help replenish the chemical needs of the interconscious systems.

Canon 721 (link)

In deep dreaming or REM sleep, the role of interconscious in providing the dreamscape and contextual landscape as in imagination or “daydreaming” is taken over by the Subconscious – hence the lack of continuity in most dreams and sometimes the absence of sustainable context creating micro-dreams being dreams of a few seconds or less which makes recall of many dozens of extremely short dreams connected together impossible to easily recall.
