The Lost Timeline: Temporal Neglect, Literacy, and Spatial Fractionation
The Time Controversy and Cultural Anchoring
Unilateral Spatial Neglect (USN), a failure in the absolute Intrinsic Fractionation of the Soma operated by the Quantum Self (QS), is not limited to peripersonal space. Advanced neuropsychological studies have revealed that the inability to process one half of space (typically the left) often extends to the cognition of time, a phenomenon known as Temporal Neglect. This article analyzes the manifestation and absence of temporal neglect, focusing on the crucial role of literacy. Evidence suggests that the spatial dichotomy of Left/Right (Intrinsic Volumetric Fractionation) serves as a template for the temporal dichotomy of Past/Future only if this association is reinforced by a powerful cultural Hierarchical Conditionality (reading/writing from left-to-right), which influences the Cognitive Morphogenesis of the Ego Cogitans (EC).
