Just loose associating here, but another variant of this idea is McAdams’ narrative theory, in which a crisis point in a person’s life induces fresh disorder, and can bifurcate along two potential paths toward a new order, the one being a “contaminated” narrative (a more negative story, like “I’m a failure because of what happened), the other being “redemptive” (a more positive story, as in “I’ve learned important things and grown as a person because of what happened”).
More broadly, chaos theory would be another way of reframing it conceptually.
Fantastic. Ego dissolution is also a huge factor, as the ego seems to act as a gatekeeper for noise. Or in other words it "orders" incoming data through it's own structure, hindering the ascent to criticality or mitigating how much the overall frame is broken by an insight. I wonder if there is a relationship between ego-attachment and propensity for insight in the scientific literarure.
Thanks and look forward to the integration with myths.
Thanks, that was a good conceptual dive.
