Fictional Bicamerality
For any interested... Gene Wolfe's novel entitled Soldier of the Mist (Tor Books, 1987 and still in print) is the story of Latro, a soldier living in ancient Greece, whose characterization offers a superb example of a person living on the cusp of bicamerality and modern mentality, as well as of the ...

Well, okay, I admit that I want to read them, too. ;) I also incorporated Jaynesian theory into a novel (psychological fiction), but I'm just now preparing to solicit agents.

Aptic Structures: Definition?
Hi, all. Tucked away in a footnote in Origins is a reference to "aptic structures." Would someone please define this term for me as Jaynes intended it? And it's best to dumb it down since I'm no scientist. :wink: I'd appreciate hearing any comments, too, as to how these aptic structures ma...
