Appreciating experiential analogues of [[design properties]] in introspective perspective shifting ## Relevant features of design property appreciation in Lopes - [[Design properties]] (e.g. brushstrokes, contours, color patches) are apprehended as properties of the pictorial vehicle/medium itself, not (just) properties depicted in the represented scene. - Seeing [[design properties]] depends on cultivated skills of 'design seeing' that switch focus from depicted content to the depicting surface. It is an achievement of pictorial competence. - [[Design properties]] are experientially integrated with depicted properties, mutually inflecting and enhancing each other. They bind the pictorial experience into a unified 'twofold' appearance. - [[Design properties]] are genuine phenomenal properties figuring in [[the experience]] ([[not just]] post-perceptual judgments), but their distinctly pictorial status qua properties of the vehicle is apprehended. ## Analogues in the dereified meta-awareness of mindfulness - Certain phenomenal properties of experience itself might similarly be apprehensible as properties of the experiencing vehicle or medium rather than (just) properties represented by [[the experience]]. - E.g. affective valence or motivational force of thoughts/feelings, sense of spatial extension/location of body sensations, dynamic temporal flow of all conscious contents, subtle sense of effortful or choiceless attending underlying [[the experience]]. - Appreciating such experiential '[[design properties]]' may likewise depend on cultivated perspective-shifting skills, a disciplined redirection of introspective focus from contents to processes or from objects to the phenomenal field itself. Only a mindfully trained awareness might have the competence to apprehend them. - These 'design-like' phenomenal properties would be experientially integrated with naively experienced 'depicted' properties (e.g. thought contents, sensory qualia), binding the dereified meta-awareness into a unified twofold structure encompassing both vehicle and content. - They would be genuine phenomenal aspects of [[the experience]], [[not just]] retroactive metacognitive categorizations, even though their status qua distinctively mental properties of the experiencing act/agent is apprehended. ## Plausibility assessment - The above analogies suggest it is at least conceivable that skilled mindful [[introspection]] could enable appreciation of 'design-like' experiential properties, underlying or interleaved with naively attributed depicted properties. - The plausibility of this idea depends on (a) whether there [[really are]] phenomenal features that pre-reflectively appear as non-object properties of experience itself in mindfulness, and (b) whether apprehension of these properties' mental status is part of their very phenomenal character rather than a separate interpretive gloss. - Consideration (a) requires careful investigation of the specific phenomenal aspects that mindfulness practitioners report as components of experience itself rather than represented objects, and whether these reports are reliable. - Consideration (b) requires unconfounding the phenomenology of meta-awareness itself from associated beliefs/interpretations, perhaps via contrastive designs comparing practitioner subgroups or manipulating their background frameworks. - Another source of evidence for (a) and (b) may [[come from]] cognitive neuroscience - identifying neural markers or dynamics distinctive of introspective skill learning and examining their correspondence to meta-awareness phenomenology.
