psychon|ˈsaɪkɒn| [f. psycho- + -on1.] A hypothetical unit of nerve impulse or energy. Hence psyˈchonic a.
[1906H. W. Armit tr. A. Forel's Hypnotism i. 6 It is here that one must seek the transition from the conceived to the unconceived, and not in the strong and repeatedly conceived ‘psychomes’. [Note] The author apologizes for this term. He has introduced it for brevity['s] sake to express each and every psychical unit. ]1920H. L. Eno Activism iv. 45 Since we are already familiar with one form at any rate of this higher activity in the psychic processes, let us call these units ‘psychons’. Ibid., The term ‘psychone’ was proposed by Forel for the psychic aspect of a hypothetical unit of the nerve process. 1927P. & W. R. Bousfield Mind i. 22 As the basis of the ‘immaterial substance’ we may postulate a second order of ‘ons’ which are, like protons and electrons, fashioned out of the ether. Let us call these ‘ons’ by the name of ‘psychons’. 1931W. M. Marston et al. Integrative Psychol. xiii. 314 There is no doubt whatsoever that the psychons in the sensory system differ from those in the motor system. Ibid., We suggest, therefore, that from the point of view of an objective psychology, exterior to its subjects, this psychonic energy is consciousness. 1968C. L. Burt Psychol. & Psychical Res. 45 As unit I would rather start with the ‘pure ego’, which I envisage as a sort of Leibnizian monad. This, I think, on the plane of natural science we might justifiably treat as an ‘elementary particle’—a ‘psychon’, as I styled it. |
