This book presents a neurogenetic epistemology -- a theory of what is subjectively true and what is consensually factual.

There are eight levels of truth.

Each nervous system creates its own island realities. Truth is defined by the wiring of the individual nervous system-genetic, imprinted and conditioned. The "fact" is that the human brain deals with a reality of several billion signals a minute - changing patterns of vibrations - mediated by the eight circuits. Whatever interpretations the individual's imprinted-conditioned symbol systems impose on these energies is "true" - although it may not be "true" for others. John's First Circuit toothache is the Dentist's Third Circuit "clinical problem."

Children imprint the survival cellular tastes, the emotional muscular reflexes, the L.M. symbols and the soc-sex models of their parent-culture. This socialization of larval imprints and conditionings makes consensual communication possible. The island-realities of the child overlap the island realities of the parents and the local tribal group. The child learns the movements of the laryngeal muscles and the manual muscles that create the appropriate symbols. Epistemological games are thus learned. These social reality-islands contain names for labelling energy clusters and relating them. The L.M. symbols, labels and learned sequences of association are assigned "factual" semantic meaning. Facts exist only within the limited framework of the parochial game. Social reality-islands set up criteria for determining fact and error, right and wrong, which may or may not have any relationship to what is experienced by the individual as "true" or "false."
