    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The inhibition sum (S_n) continuously diminishes as time passes from the initial collision of mental representations a and b.

    If inhibition follows a logarithmic or sigmoid curve rather than continuous linear diminishment, S_n may plateau rather than continuously decrease, undermining the temporal monotonicity claim.

    Key Terms

    Linear diminishment(as used in describing patterns of change)
    A steady, constant decrease at the same rate over time (like losing the same amount every hour).
    Logarithmic curve(as used in describing patterns of change)
    A mathematical pattern where something decreases quickly at first, then more and more slowly over time (like how your phone battery drains faster when it's full than when it's almost dead).
    Plateau(as used in describing patterns of change)
    A flat section where something stops changing and stays roughly the same, rather than continuing to decrease or increase.
    S_n(as used in formal logical or scientific notation)
    A symbol representing a variable or quantity being measured (likely 'suppression' in this context), with 'n' indicating it can have different values.

    Sigmoid curve(as used in describing patterns of change)
    A mathematical S-shaped pattern where something starts slow, speeds up in the middle, then slows down again as it approaches a limit.
    Temporal monotonicity(as used in logic and philosophy of science)
    The idea that something continuously moves in one direction over time without stopping or reversing (always decreasing, or always increasing).
    inhibition(SW V: 307–308)
    The metaphysical process by which opposed representations within the same continuum suppress or dim each other, governed by the soul's unity.
