Article Text

In encountering objects and engaging in concrete and abstract mental activities, humans experience emotional receptions or subjects and discover concepts. Upon returning from the abstract space of the mind, in order to preserve the acquired concepts, they revert to the shaped domain of time and space of the object and attribute those concepts to the object. The repetition of this experience leads to the creation of a shaped or object-oriented mental space. Therefore, the object-oriented mental space serves as a bridge between form and concept; and the element of awareness or knowledge in humans is limited to describing the narrative-like descriptions of relationships in the form of creating symbols and signs.

By developing a descriptive mind, humans can analytically examine the relationships between forms and concepts. In this state, by entering the abstract space of their mind, they engage in the creation of new results and concepts. This time, upon returning from the abstract space of the mind, they will express a parable description of the concepts and the relationships between them. Thus, it can be said that humans possess a conscious mind that is descriptive and analytical in nature, while always having the potential to enter the abstract space due to the presence of the unconscious mind.
