Transcendental Feedback Phenomenology (TFP)

摘要

TFP is a method for examining core consciousness during traumatic experiences, includinguncovering subtleties of consciousness and meaning. It applies system dynamics (SD) to convertHusserl’s Transcendental Phenomenology into a relatively simple formalized science. Thismethodological advance positions TFP as a new source for implementations in phenomenology,consciousness studies, and deep psychotherapy. Key reasons why TFP succeeds are:1. The epoche: brackets-out extended consciousness and focuses on core consciousness.2. Structures consciousness as a multiloop nonlinear feedback system, the same structure asthe neurophysiological system underlying consciousness.3. Utilizes Forrester's 5th principle of SD, quantification of unmeasured but important conceptsand relationships, and his method for geometrizing differential equations.TFP’s use is illustrated by applying it to recall, analyze, and resolve a traumatic 16-hour religiousexperience. Thus, TFP implements the search for the deepest truths of the inner life and the questfor permanent foundations for science, philosophy, and religion.
