I do not have it (!)

It is Wikipedia psychological concept of "internal communication" that I do not have. Let me quote on the thing, reckon if it is good, and then I tell what I have.

Krashen and California pang of conscience

Stephen ■Krashen is not enemy to bilingualism. His thousand letters maybe did not squash ■Proposition 227 beforehand, but they certainly did contribute to a climate, and the air of understanding may give as water drops that drill the rock: stone does not really have a chance. Proposition 227 yielded in 2016. Let me render the … Continue reading Krashen and California pang of conscience →

Thomas Paine as a young man

Mainstream, run-of-the-mill, or even rush-hour, we people time and again get honestly to reflect on what we see. Preparing a book series, I arrived at reviewing images of Thomas Paine. Spontaneously, simply as pictures, regardless of the who, how could I describe one? Skin complexion: yellow clay facials? Right eye: fry an egg, tilt the … Continue reading Thomas Paine as a young man →

Bogey in the tongue box

ELM is short for an Extreme Learning Machine. ELMs can train artificial feedforward networks; ELMs are pre-programmed, fast, and affordable. However, human brains rely on own, intrinsic feedback, and the role approximates a drive; the tissue uses feedforward, but not in “single-layer networks”. ELMs are to work in Computer Aided Diagnosis. ■→More

The pit of the olden cniht

VERSTÄNDNIS appears spacious an idea: it can hold comprehension, empathy, and — opinion. The elapse the Umwelt theory would need yet does not look covered in any known speech. Ticks, sea urchins, amoebae, and jellyfish would be granted own worlds, for a study of meaning as present also in human communication. ■→More

Sense in Common

COMMON sense is a sound judgment not based on specialized knowledge, says the American Heritage Dictionary. A translation of Latin sēnsus commūnis, it was to mean common feelings of humanity. — Should Thomas Paine's Common Sense have been about "common feelings of humanity", there would have had to be more than one species.

Simple English Aristotle, Physics Book 1, Chapter 4

If we sifted a “physical order” out of a body of water, extracts would become smaller and smaller, until the water would have only the minimum proportion. Then, extraction would be arrested, and the water might not contain the particular structure or entity anymore. Simple English Aristotle→

Wycliffe Gloss, Acorden: agree

Exodus 39:17-19 . In truth, they placed the rings on each side of the breast plate, where two golden chains should hang, set in with hooks in the edges of the shoulder cloak. The elements in the front and in the back agreed so, that the cloak and the breast piece could be drawn together straight to the girdle, coupled strong with the rings, to which a buckle of hyacinth joined, lest they might unbind and slide down and apart, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Wycliffe Gloss, Acquenched: perished

Deeds of Apostles, Prologue: To him, not without merit, the power to write the deeds of the apostles was given in ministry, as God was in Godful, and the sons of the lost and perished had made a prayer of the apostles, that through the lot of God's appointment the number of apostles should be fulfilled, and so Paul should give fulfillment to the apostles' deeds.
