I think its just basically being forced to recognize that the map dosen’t match the territory no matter how pretty the map.
The thing was, he wasn’t forced—somehow, the little bit of input met his internal state in a way that worked. It wouldn’t surprise me if he’d been criticized as a child without being given specifics, so the idea of breaking “bad boy” down into evidence and then allowing evaluation as a separate process wasn’t just abstract for him, but I’m guessing.
Good point, he didn’t impact the hard ground of reality, he was hit by a pebble that should have been easy to rationalize.
While calling it a breach of compartments is just giving it another name, and isn’t in itself an explanation, do you think the terminology is descriptively accurate and could be used (to keep our terminology consistent and as simple as possible)?
I think you’ve got a concept there which should have a name, but I’m not sure “breach of compartments” is quite it. My connotations are of a ship which has compartments for very good reasons.
“Widened context” seems closer, but not quite there. “Spontaneous context expansion” is closer, but doesn’t give your sense of why such things don’t happen more often.
