Definition

Thought-mode, n.. A whole or type in a tie-tree whose structure is based on try-wholes or find-types.

Comments

A given thought-mode may be the top idea of a lower tie-tree within a larger tie-tree. With respect to its own lower tree it is not a tie, being the top idea. Thought-modes are of four kinds, motive, habit, image, and quale. Choice of a thought-mode by attention is a thought-function.
