Periodicities
I had started to get bored with this. I kept seeing the annual cycle. But then it dawned on me. That's who we are. We are driven by the rhythms around us. You can chart the natural world in our behaviour. This is weak evidence of the term environment. All you can account for is behaviour, no matter how hard you try. The psychophysicists have tried hard, by God. Trying to bridge the Observable-Experienced gap. By report. Tell me what you heard. That's a very direct question. Almost rude. Except we have no cultural reference frame. Who would be ashamed to tell friends that they had a frequency deficit with a notch at 1600 Hz.? Disabilities define us. Its not intimate, though it tries to be.
