thought

=Thought=

toc This article defines a word and clarifies its application and usefulness in scale studies.

=Overview= A complete definition of thought is out of scope of the current work; however, the role of attention and consciousness is significant to the study of scale, so some effort must be put into understanding "thought" and its place in superscale studies.

An operational definition is used: there is thought, and it is within thought that consciousness, attention, consideration and comprehension occur. The consensus of cognitive science is that most thought is fundamentally inaccessible to our direct, conscious consideration. Everyday thinking occurs too fast and at too deep a level in the mind to be thus accessible. Thought is divided into conscious and non-conscious. See Brain, Mind;attention.
