Why the protagonist remains unnamed?

The protagonist remains unnamed for two reasons. (1) The protagonist remaining unnamed creates a separation for the narrator.

Both a direct motivation, and the ironically innate thesis of Locke’s work on identity, was to make an argument about the idea of moral culpability. The Renaissance was dwindling and a new era of thinkers in Europe were emerging, and with ...

In both cases, the significance of external stimuli is often dismissed in studies, which also means no significance is attributed to behavioral data.

Sensory memory

It is the part in the memory system where there is first communication for stimuli. The sensory memory only stores information for a period that is very short. This memory type allows one to recall images which have been focused on by the eye by giving the eye a vision field that is large. An example is when one touches an ice cube for the first time. One remembers the hardness and coldness of the ice cube. Therefore, when one sees things made of ice, they associate them with their first contact of that ice cube.

Artful scenario spinning is a form of convergent thinking about divergent futures

Steward Brand was in essence explaining the concept of scenario thinking from a broader perspective. Indeed, scenario planning passes out as a courageous look into the future. As Brand puts it, scenario thinking focuses on predicting the future outcomes of decision models. In this regard, scenario planning can be rightly perceived as a thought process of the divergent futures. However, the requirement to pool the thought processes together to come up with a comprehensive state of affairs brings out the convergence of thought. Brand later observes this as convergent thinking of the divergent futures. In addition, one would want to consider scenario planning ...
