I’ll just point out that the the coarse label is the human intuition and mistake. There is no such label. The instance of anger is a complex encoding of information relating to not “subagents” but to something more fundamental, your “action set.” The coarse resolution of anger is a language one, but biologically, anger does not exist in any form you or I are familiar with.
It seems to me hard to explain why an emotion such anger might release itself when the corresponding emotion subagent gets heard in Gendlin’s Focusing if anger is not related to subagents.
but biologically, anger does not exist in any form you or I are familiar with.
That sounds to me like you are calling something anger that is not the kind of thing most people mean when they say anger.
If you burrow a word like anger to talk about something biological and the biological thing is not matching with what people mean with the term, it suggests that you should rather use a new word for the biological thing you want to talk about.
Thanks.
