I recall discussing something like this with Joe Rychlak in 1988, in
Lincoln. I suggested that while predication was an essential feature
of construing, and appears to me to be necessary for the reflexive
construing process, mediation was also an important process allows
for experience without self-imposed framing of meaning. In fact, I
suggested that Predication------Mediation represented a very real
core construct that meaningfully framed the construing process. One
does not purely redefine experience through predication each time an
experrience occurs, nor does one simply process experience through
the "computer of mind"
Does this make any sense?
