In order to become aware of inconsistencies, one must first construe of theworld in a way that reflects its consistencies. This paper begins with atentative model for how a set of discrete memories transforms into aninterconnected worldview wherein relationships between memories are forged byway of abstractions. Inconsistencies prompt the invention of new abstractions.In regions of the conceptual network where inconsistencies abound, a cognitiveanalog of simulated annealing is in order; there is a willingness to questionprevious assumptions--to 'loosen' conceptual relationships--so as to let newconcepts thoroughly percolate through the worldview and exert the neededrevolutionary effect. In so doing there is a risk of assimilating dangerousconcepts. Repression arrests the process by which dangerous thoughts infiltratethe conceptual network, and deception blocks thoughts that have already beenassimilated. These forms of self-initiated worldview inconsistency may evokefeelings of fragmentation at the level of the individual or the society.
