Metachoice

Abstract

The essence of metachoice, corresponding to the transformation readiness | =F _D (|intention|), consists in the generation and choice of a program for a bipolar choice which will be accomplished in the future.In metachoice, |readiness | and | intention | take their values not from the Boolean set {0,1}, as for bipolar choice,but from the set Φ of Boolean functions Φ(a,b), each of which corresponds to a certain program. Consider a subject who has not performed an act of awareness. He cannot obtain information about his real readiness directly; intention represents it in his inner domain (see Introduction to Part Two). Thus, only under the condition that the same Boolean function x* corresponds to both intention and readiness does the subject have a correct view of the program he is ready to implement. In other words, correct information about the program of bipolar choice appears in the subject only through his intentional choice of a program; this corresponds to x*=F _D (x*).
