[FRIAM] hidden

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

So you are teasing me, a little bit, right?  I understand "internal" only if it contains no surplus beyond "hidden". I suppose that if you mean by inside only "a hidden subset of" then I have to go along with it.  But now I have to think about whether your meaning has anything to do with what Frank and others mean when they talk about privileged access to a causal subjective mind.

Yes, those hidden colored numbers inside the diagram would count as an example as well. But it's not a *good* example because the hop distance between the eyeball and the diagram is 0 (where as the hop distance between the eyeball and the image containing the QR code is 1 (you need your phone or something between your eyeball and the image). In order for the color coded number example to extrapolate to the others, you have to go *inside* the eyeball (and/or inside the head) ... which I wanted to avoid doing.

Anyway, excellent! So now you understand what I mean when I say "internal states"! Yay!

A color blind person lacks the code to see the numeral hidden within the diagram.  Is this a fair oversimplification of the concept you are getting at?
