High-Speed Search Training for Holistic Perception

A technique where subjects must locate a given pattern in an array flashed for one second, forcing an unfocused, receptive, whole-seeing state.

Late-20th-century holistic science still describes mechanisms; it has not overcome the mechanistic character of its models.claim0.722
Even the beautiful descriptions of wholeness by scientists like Mae-Wan Ho remain mechanistic in detail and have not solved the bifurcation.
Modern people, especially those educated in verbal concepts, often are not holistic perceivers; they perceive according to invented categories that blind them to wholeness.claim0.719
