MIND MAP OF MAKING CORRECT USE OF IMPRESSIONS

MAKING CORRECT USE OF IMPRESSIONS
│
├─ 1. RECEPTION (IMPRESSION)
│   │
│   ├─ Triple-Action
│   │   │
│   │   ├─ Appears
│   │   │   ├─ Enters consciousness as event
│   │   │   ├─ Already formatted as proposition
│   │   │   └─ Already interpreted
│   │   │
│   │   ├─ Asserts
│   │   │   ├─ Claims what is the case
│   │   │   ├─ Speaks with certainty
│   │   │   └─ Carries grammatical force of fact
│   │   │
│   │   ├─ Demands
│   │   │   ├─ Pulls toward assent
│   │   │   ├─ Solicits belief
│   │   │   └─ Seeks immediate reaction
│   │   │
│   │   └─ Juridical-Structure
│   │       └─ Impression = plaintiff
│   │
│   ├─ Correspondence-Already-Operating
│   │   ├─ Arrives pre-packaged with truth-claim
│   │   ├─ Claims to match objective reality
│   │   └─ Truth-apt from moment of arrival
│   │
│   ├─ Moral-Realism-at-Perceptual-Level
│   │   ├─ Reports moral properties of events
│   │   ├─ Claims to detect real good and evil
│   │   └─ Not reporting feelings but objective facts
│   │
│   ├─ Pretense-of-Authority
│   │   ├─ Arrives wearing judicial robes
│   │   ├─ Seems true, important, actionable
│   │   └─ Assumes rather than requests belief
│   │
│   └─ Taxonomy-of-Error
│       ├─ False-Fact
│       ├─ False-Value
│       └─ Mixed-Error
│
├─ 2. RECOGNITION
│   │
│   ├─ The-Separation
│   │   ├─ External-event (world)
│   │   ├─ Impression (representation)
│   │   └─ Prohairesis (rational faculty)
│   │
│   ├─ Ontological-Operation
│   │   ├─ Restores subject-object structure

│   │   └─ Not psychological but metaphysical
│   │
│   ├─ Dualist-Foundation
│   │   ├─ Mind not identical with representations
│   │   ├─ Representations not identical with world
│   │   └─ Prohairesis is distinct locus of judgment
│   │
│   ├─ Status-Change
│   │   ├─ "This is so" becomes "This claims to be so"
│   │   ├─ Reality becomes representation
│   │   └─ Correspondence becomes applicable
│   │
│   └─ Space-Created
│       ├─ Between appearance and assent
│       ├─ Between representation and belief
│       └─ Condition for freedom
│
├─ 3. PAUSE
│   │
│   ├─ Nature-of-Pause
│   │   ├─ Act of jurisdiction
│   │   ├─ Not a breathing exercise
│   │   └─ Prohairesis asserting authority
│   │
│   ├─ Three-Operations
│   │   ├─ Suspends assumed authority
│   │   ├─ Separates factual from evaluative claims
│   │   └─ Tests both against reality
│   │
│   ├─ Chain-Interrupted
│   │   ├─ Impression to assent (blocked)
│   │   ├─ Assent to false-judgment (blocked)
│   │   └─ False-judgment to desire to unhappiness (blocked)
│   │
│   └─ Demonstration
│       ├─ Proves assent is in our control
│       ├─ Makes Th.6 concrete
│       └─ Opens space for examination
│
├─ 4. EXAMINATION
│   │
│   ├─ The-Test
│   │   ├─ Foundation-test (Th.10-12 axioms)
│   │   ├─ Classification-test (virtue/vice/indifferent)
│   │   └─ Correspondence-test (matches reality?)
│   │
│   ├─ Key-Distinction
│   │   ├─ Appropriate-preference (allowed)
│   │   └─ False-value-judgment (rejected)
│   │
│   ├─ Realist-Constraint
│   │   ├─ Fact of the matter exists
│   │   ├─ Truth not negotiable
│   │   └─ No harmonizing, only testing
│   │
│   └─ Possible-Results
│       ├─ True (impression stands)
│       ├─ False (impression fails)
│       └─ Undetermined (suspension follows)
│
└─ 5. DECISION
    │
    ├─ Nature-of-Act
    │   ├─ Terminates examination
    │   ├─ Converts possibility to actuality
    │   └─ Freedom becomes deed
    │

    ├─ Constraint-of-Truth
    │   ├─ Governed by correspondence
    │   ├─ Not pragmatic or emotional
    │   └─ Alignment of will with what is

    ├─ Entry-of-Responsibility
    │   ├─ Agent could have chosen otherwise
    │   ├─ Agent knew what was true
    │   └─ Agent was not compelled
    │
    └─ Outcomes
        ├─ Assent to truth → virtue
        ├─ Assent to falsehood → error
        └─ Suspension → inquiry continues
