have you read the book? It should explain that explicitly well. The clues that babies gather is based on if they use cognitive maps or causal maps. The contingency and their ability to determine factored situations also can help. Counterfactual thinking is the base of their pretend play, the way the mimic and anticipate is what classifies them as children.
Part of my question is: "What might be the nature of this "non-specific" intelligence that apparently has no idea about space and time yet that has the abiltiy to narrow itself down into a specific identity through the "unfoldment" through a baby to adult?
What if there is that which neither voluntarily nor involuntarily gathers about itself the conditions and substance needed to be born into conditions so radical that this 'original intelligence' mainly loses contact with itself? Are there any clues in babies that they are both further from this and closer to this than adults? Are there any clues in babies that might be pointing to this strange intelligence that gives rise to the separate human mind but may not itself be separate?
Great. I know a bit about that. Because I remember being a baby and being loved, vividly.
