Document Summary
Repeated activity in neural activity makes neural tracks for automatic processes. A reawakening of the apradgim of earlier situations of your life: your body is running through organic rules (combined with social and mind rules create emotion). Freud builds bridges between noetic and organic systems: we have a need for attention a bodily need that can manifestate itself into a fantasy. Hunger (organic) manifests itself into wish for food (noetic). Freud begins with a biological model founded in animal world and how organism functions the tension model is an organism model. We have an organic model that drives survival when it comes to people, the stimulus that interacts with model becomes more flexible over time. Instincts are hard-wired and narrowly defined, and emotions are liberated instincts. The unconscious can be seen as psychic world that we see as a border. You can have certain urges/ideas considered inadmissible because you belong to a certain society.
