The Organizational Architecture of the Psychic System and the Feeling of Thinking

This chapter presents an architecture of the human psychic system by adopting an organizational path. The organizational path considers the psyche as a highly dynamic idea‐generating system that operates continuously at different rates and structures its components on several scales. The chapter shows that the understanding of mental representations always takes place in a specific setting that brings together the psychic system's instances given certain characteristics. The regulators in the mental landscape explicitly act on the forms that they constitute, releasing organizations of aggregates and perceiving the effects, explicitly and systematically, of their meanings. To develop a model of thought generation in a system, it is necessary to precisely clarify the characteristics of the approach as guided by its architecture. Such an approach is based on observations made in neuroscience, which analyzes neuronal activity using photographs of their energy traces.
