Summary
A theory of Mind has been presented. Is it science or is it science fiction? Or does it really matter?
This dyslexic research effort has clearly demonstrated that science and science fiction are mere conceptual illusions of time and perspective, and that both contain mixtures of fact and fantasy. Science vehemently denies its fiction, whereas science-fiction readily acknowledges its fantasy. In time, research has transformed science into fiction and fiction into science and thus has established a dynamic relationship between the two.
The role of the scientist is to study and understand fact and fiction, and then attempt their separation, rather than to "prejudge" fact and fiction beforehand. The author initially attempted to explain and understand dyslexia by unwittingly prejudging fact and fiction. This led him nowhere. He then attempted to understand dyslexia as an unknown mixture of fact and fiction. To his surprise, fact became fiction and fiction became fact. Science was thus recognized to be a dysmetric function and illusion of time and space. If, indeed, science is not pure fact and science-fiction is not pure fantasy, then both have "scientific validity," and must be objectively studied and understood.
As a result of these realizations, the author unexpectedly developed, or stumbled over, fascinating new insights into the origin, symptomatic fallout, and treatment of phobias and related mental disorders (i.e., nuclear schizophrenia), and developed a holistic theory of Mind and mental functioning capable of encompassing the panoramic dyslexic-mental complex falling within the analytic range of the author's "orbiting" and dysmetrically guided "space telescope."
