I have not yet studied your anticipation related work, but plan to do so. I did briefly look at the link and realized low frequency alpha wave relation to anticipation beyond 1000ms?

There is no proof but you might want to experiment with effects like TM or Auspiciousness Thoughts related hymns, which are supposed to help one create Noble Thoughts (implied anticipatory). Probably Lennon would have known about TM!

Is there really a correlation with violent or peaceful thoughts in your anticipation work? It is so wonderful that your ontology work can deal with mind-brain effects?

There is some physics or metaphysics that I can translate, from Sanskrit if interested.

True. But for anything that can be said, there is always something more nuanced that can be said about it. And sometimes there is a different context in which that additional nuance does useful work. But I doubt that the brief exchanges here and today among Jack, you and myself, are such a context. So I wouldn't agree with any suggestion that the brief exchanges among us require, or would even be improved by, additional nuance.

Sometimes nuance is nuisance.

Things are a bit more nuanced: we deal with the future in a variety of ways. Indeed: to guess, to expect, to forecast, premonition, foresight and prediction are different. And anticipation is different from all I mentioned (left out prolepsis, and a bunch of others).

Temporal predictions in the brain inform many of our choices. These are autonomic processes.

Steve Newcomb:

After reading the short note in Medicalxpress (and probably some of my work on anticipation) you would laugh even more.
