Names of this Mytheme Theory
the Mytheme Theory
the Phase 2 part of the Egodeath theory (1998-2007)
the Periphery theory (as opposed to the Core theory)
Scope Mismatch; Narrower Scope
the “Analogical Psychedelic Eternalism” Theory of Religious Mythology
- The scope of that phrase is different than the scope of the entire whole Mytheme theory.
- That phrase’s key word is “mythology“, therefore, that phrase is (mainly) scoped to only the mytheme decoding portion of the Mytheme theory,
- not the rock lyrics portion
- not the ahistoricity portion (well, partly)
- not the entheogen history portion (well, partly).
Elements in that phrase, and whether they apply to the Egodeath theory as a whole, higher-level theory-bundle:
- Analogical
- Entirely within the Mytheme theory.
- Psychedelic
- The history-of-psychedelics aspect falls within the Mytheme theory.
- The cognitive science of psychdelics falls instead within the Cybernetic theory.
- Eternalism
- Using analogies to describe eternalism is within the Mytheme theory.
- The theory of eternalism is instead within the Cybernetic theory.
- Religious mythology
- Entirely within the Mytheme theory.
Relation of the Mytheme Theory to the Cybernetic Theory , Within the Egodeath Theory
The Phase 2 development period also includes 2008-2021, since the the cybernetic theory Phase 1 substance didn’t really change after 1997; any development of the Egodeath theory after 1997 was building-out the Mytheme theory, not changing the substance of the Cybernetic theory.
Justify having a broad umbrella 1999 theory, in contrast to the 1988 theory Core theory clearly was one thing.
Why are the 1999 expansions/additions/applications of the core theory, to ahistoricity , entheogen history, rock lyrics 1992, mytheme decoding — why are they grouped together, outside the core theory of 1988?
Commonality: they are Not Core Theory.
The Mytheme theory is The Periphery Theory. rock lyrics , ahistoricity, By definition, anything in the Mytheme theory can be false, and the Core Theory (the cybernetic theory ) still stands.
The initial, Cybernetic theory is independent of the subsequent, Mytheme theory.
This coheres:
- the Cybernetic theory
- loose cognition – psychedelics (theory, not history)
- the block universe
- no-free-will
- non-control
The following set of 4 topics coheres; and the Cybernetic theory is independent of the following, outer layer of the Egodeath theory:
- the Mytheme theory – knowledge of mythemes, as applied to topics
- mytheme decoding – knowledge of mythemes
- entheogen history – psychedelics, apply knowledge of mythemes
- ahistoricity – apply knowledge of mythemes
- rock lyrics – precursor of mytheme decoding
“Theory of Mythemes” in a Broad and Narrow Sense
- the Mytheme theory = broad theory concerning history and psychedelics and myths and lyrics
- mytheme decoding = narrow theory about mapping religious mythology to the cybernetic theory; to things that are observed and experienced in the altered state.
- rock lyrics – also falls within the broad theory that’s called, for short, “the Mytheme theory”
- ahistoricity – “
- entheogen history – “
