    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→No experience is possible that does not essentially and inseparably contain both the agency of event and the agency of repeatability.

    If repeatability is achieved rather than necessary, then a degraded or pathological consciousness (as in severe anterograde amnesia studied by Tulving) can sustain episodes of experience without operative repeatability-structure.

    Key Terms

    Anterograde amnesia(given as an example of a pathological (diseased) consciousness)
    A type of memory loss where someone can't form new memories after an injury or illness, though they may remember things from before it happened.
    Endel Tulving(referenced as the researcher who studied anterograde amnesia)
    A famous psychologist who studied memory and consciousness, particularly how memory works in people with amnesia.
    Episodes of experience(refers to separate conscious moments that may or may not repeat)
    Individual moments or instances of conscious awareness—like a single memory or perception happening at one point in time.
    Operative(describing the agent intellect as actively working)
    Actually working or functioning; in this context, it means 'actively at work' rather than just existing passively.

    Pathological(as used in medicine and psychology)
    Related to disease or disorder; in this case, delusions that are genuinely caused by a mental illness rather than just being weird beliefs someone chose to adopt.
    consciousness(Philosophy of mind; framing the 'What is consciousness?' question)
    A dynamic process characterized by self-transforming flow, intentional coherence, and semantic self-understanding, rather than a static or momentary state.
    repeatability(Grounded in memory of the recent past and anticipation of the near future; constitutes one of two agencies present in every experience.)
    The property whereby what is experienced in the present can be immediately recalled and thereby anticipated to recur.
