State-specific communication

Then he saw a tall figure, robed like an Akldan dervish-reputed to be exceptionally enlightened men—coming towards him.

such as drug-induced or mystical states. This opinion is usually based on the observation that the experimenter /observer has difficulty understanding what the person in the d-ASC is talking about his comments make no sense by ordinary consensus reality standards. 

For a given d-ASC, then, how can we determine whether there is deterioration, improvement, or simply alteration in communication ability, or a complex combination of all three More specifically, we must ask this question with respect to communication across d-SoCs—about communication between two persons in different d-SoCs as well as about communication between two 

Another important methodological factor is the degree of adaptation to functioning in a particular d-ASC. I am sure techniques of the Cloze type would show deterioration in communication within d-ASCs for subjects who are relatively naive

Another important methodological factor is the degree of adaptation to functioning in a particular d-ASC. I am sure techniques of the Cloze type would show deterioration in communication within d-ASCs for subjects who are relatively naive in functioning in those d-ASCs. Subjects have to adapt to the novelty of a d-ASC they may even need specific practice in learning to communicate within it. The potential for an altered style of communication, state-specific communication, may be present and need to be developed, rather than being available immediately upon entering the d-ASC. I do not imply simply that people learn to compensate for the deterioration associated with a d-ASC, but rather that they learn the altered style of communication inherent in or more natural to that particular d-ASC. 

Cytokines and antagonists (2—4), intercellular proteins produced by immune cells, play an important role in the regulation of immune responses. Cytokines are present in a variety of tissues under normal conditions. Through insufficient or excessive production, these macromolecules can mediate chronic inflammatory diseases. An inability to respond to cytokines, eg, interleukin 1 (IL-1) or interleukin 2 (IL-2), may lead to an immunosuppressive state, whereas over-production can result in severe shock, autoimmune disease, or immunopathological conditions, such as leukemia and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Specific communications between immune cells are constantly modulated by naturally occurring inhibitors. 

As you collect information, you ll need to set up a file and organize your material. Use file folders for storing copies of articles, brochures, and notes. Consider organizing your files by cities, states, or specific communities. 

Another interesting question concerns transfer of communicative ability after the termination of a d-ASC to the ordinary (or any other) d-SoC. Experienced marijuana smokers, for example, claim that they can understand a subject intoxication on marijuana even when they are not intoxication themselves because of partial transfer of state-specific knowledge to the ordinary d-SoC. we need to study the validity of this phenomenon. 

A widespread and misleading assumption that hinders the development of state-specific sciences and confuses their interrelationships is the assumption that because two people are "normal" (not certified insane), their ordinary d-SoCs are essentially the same, in reality I suspect that there are enormous differences between the d-SoCs of some normal people. Because societies train people to behave and communicate along socially approved lines, these differences are obscured. 

Again I am not satisfied with these words. Yet I know they will communicate quite well to someone else who has some experience in self-remembering. I am trying to communicate some knowledge that, to refer back to Chapter 1, is pardy state-specific. So take as much as you can from this description, but make it real by practicing self-remembering. 

So far our discussion has focused on the measurement of thermal rate coefficients for a number of different classes of reactions involved with low temperature combustion. A significant proportion of the kinetics community is interested in looking beyond thermally averaged rate coefficients k T)) towards quantum state specific data the rate coefficient for reagents in the quantum state vj. The two quantities are related via equation (2.71)... 

One of the most important consequences of the systems approach is the deduction that we need to develop state-specific sciences. Insofar as a "normal" d-SoC is a semi-arbitrary way of structuring consciousness, a way that loses some human potentials while developing others, the sciences we have developed are one-state sciences. They are limited in important ways. Our ordinary sciences have been very successful in dealing with the physical world, but not very successful in dealing with particularly human psychological problems. If we apply scientific method to developing sciences within various d-ASCs, we can evolve sciences based on radically different perceptions, logics, and communications. 

In Chapter 16, in which I propose the creation of state-specific sciences, I assume that communication within some d-ASCs is adequate this is a necessary foundation for the creation of state-specific sciences. In making this assumption, I depend primarily on experiential observations by people in d-ASCs. Objective verification with the Cloze technique or similar techniques is a necessary underpinning for this. As state-specific sciences are developed, on the other hand, technique for evaluating the adequacy of communication may be developed within particular states that can be agreed upon as "scientific" techniques within that state, even though they do not necessarily make sense in the ordinary d-SoC.
