# Analogous to a percept, I define a "nocept" as the
# basic unit of imagination:
nocept := I do imagine
# A "nocept" is a mental unit with no referents
# in reality.
Example: sea serpents
# Three questions are of crucial importance:
#
# 1. How can you distinguish between, and/or associate,
# nocepts and percepts?
# 2. Can you make logical inferences using nocepts?
# 3. What's the difference between "consistent" and
# "true" nocepts?
# Answers:
#
# 1. Use nocepts only in imaginary views.
# 2. Yes, in the imaginary views.
# 3. A "consistent" nocept has no contradictions
# within its imaginary view.
# A "true" nocept has an associated percept
# that has a referent in reality.
