Analysis of a context switch
Say, you are writing a letter. At one moment you hear the door bell. You get up, open the door, get the Amazon.com package from the postman, open it, smell the new book, put it away, and return to writing the letter. What happened here?
You were not actively tuning in to the auditive channel of information, so the doorbell was processed unconsciously. It is a trigger for a procedure of answering the door. Is there a process that tracks all input signals, and has a mapping of signal -> procudure trigger? Of course not. The procedures themselves know which signals to expect. But that would be strange as well. It would require that all procedures are all active at the same time, waiting for the next signal to come along. In this interpretation, all processes are state machines, "active" at the same time. Active, but dormant. Waiting for some signal. This is not impossible. But who is doing the interpretation from "high pitched noise" to "doorbell ringing"? Is it the door answering process, or some other process? It is the semantic interpretation of a phonological stimulus. Can it be done unconsciously? Do you first need to pay attention to the sound, to hear it's a doorbell, or do you first know it's the doorbell and then you pay attention? I think you first need to pay attention. So the sound is calling your attention. Is it just because it's a high pitched sound? No that doesn't matter. Your attention would be drawn as well if you your name was spoken out by someone.
I think it is not possible that the door opening procedure performs the semantic interpretation, because the level of processing is different. The procure consists of some high-level social steps, very different from the low-level step of phonological interpretation.
If the procedure itself would do the interpretation, it would follow that hearing the bell could be interpreted very differently as well, by some other procedure. Myself, I think that this is not possible. Unconscious processes mapping phonological signals to meaning are not context dependent.
Once the procedure answer door is activated by the signal door bell ringing, it changes to a different state: walk to door. This doesn't happen automatically, of course, as we are not a dog. The procedure sends a request for walking to the door to the CPU, or starts shouting at the director from the audience. If the director grants the procedure access, the procedure will now be the active context.
The active context is performed by default, and does not need to beg for attention each time something happens. So once we're walking to the door, we have paused writing the letter. Since this procedure was not finished, it will keep asking for attention until it gets it. So when the door is answered, and that task is done, the process of writing the letter will continue.
I said that the door answering process is active all the time. That's all nice, but can you actually say that there is a single door answering process? You can answer several doors at the same time can't you? Or write two letters at the same time. And each of these processes is different, has its own state. Sure, you cannot drive two cars at the same time, but that's more a physical constraint. You could drive two cars in a computer game for instance. Yes, you would need to switch context, but still, you would be executing several processes based on the same template (or frame), at the same time.
Now there a several ways in which different processes can be created based on the same template. By means of instantiation, or prototyping. Which one to choose? I think it is important here that the instance of the process creates feedback to the template, so if you learn something about the process while doing it, this will immediately influence the way the other process based on the same template is performed. So the process instance that is instantiated has a link to the template process and can change the template at any time.
Is there a single process waiting for the door bell all the time or not? Is the template process reacting to the signal? That's not possible, because it is abstract. I think there are no processes active if there's no need. I think a process gets instantiated when a trigger in the process template is matched as part of LTM associative memory. Process templates are stored in LTM, and so are all triggers that cause state transitions.
If one of these triggers is matched associatively, a process instance is instantiated, in a certain state. So, say, a friend suddenly throws you a ball. You will recognize the trigger as being part of the throw-and-catch procedure. So this process is instantiated. It is not just activated, because several instances of the same task may be active at the same time. Some other dude may throw you another ball, and then you are playing the game twice at the same time. You can do this, even if you have never played it with two persons before.
If the procedure is instantiated, it is important that it be destroyed as well, or the number of active processes just increases. Processes have terminal states. Once a process reaches one of these, the process is destroyed. All that is left of it are traces in episodic memory.

Dustin Johnson (65) and Ben Crane (68) finished two shots back on 14-under 274.
It was the second Phillies 26 Chase Utley Road Cool Base Grey 2010 All Star Jerseys career PGA Tour win for Points, who failed to make the cut in seven of nine starts this season and whose Yankees 13 Alex Rodriguez White 2010 All Star Jerseys best previous finish was a tie for 63rd.
"I've been having a really tough year," Points said. "To have a putt to win, you want that starting out every week.
"I would have liked for it to have been closer."
After a bogey at Rays 3 Longoria Red 2011 All Star Jerseys the 13th, Stenson's shot at the title appeared to disappear but the Swede produced Blue Jays 10 Vernon Wells red 2010 All Star Jerseys a sizzling finish with four birdies over his final five holes, including the 17th and 18 to keep the 2009 All Star Detroit Tigers 35 Verlandea Blue Jerseys pressure on Points.
But Points did not crack, rolling in a nerve-jangling 13-foot par putt at the last with a putter he borrowed from his mother to clinch the victory.
Phil Mickelson, the 2011 Houston winner, started five back of the leaders and looked like he might take a run at the title after opening with four consecutive birdies.
The three-times Masters champion's charge quickly ran out of steam, however, and eight straight pars followed by two birdies and a double-bogey left him on four-under 68, six shots behind Points.
Former world No. 1 Rory McIlroy was not a factor either, finishing 12 shots off the pace, but he did wrap up his week in style by dropping birdies on his closing two holes for a two-under 70.

which of you on this planet is considered aliveanytime within the last 50 charming many hasn't seen the the full of the arena?, regarding it,your main one dead-on success together with the plenty.
Campfire brings to us thelegend from ali comprising of a exciting visual world wide authored by Lewis Helfandand amazingly shown by Lalit Kumar Sharma as well as was launched in theComic disadvantage talk about properly rainforest books.
your lover was not really a kick boxer butalso a philanthropist and one social activist. Ali, as many of us knows, Wasborn Cassius clay surfaces, other than converted to Islam as a result of registering with place to do with Islam outprotest to prevent discrimination racial, that has been prevalent then favourite inthe 60s within the, without regard to a variety of legislation as well as,while social protests within nearly every formof racial prejudice.
Ali may possibly a phone and as a consequence aninspiration to the people of nearly every age old age, and simply not without having to explanation for why.
The first description page within the graphicnovel seemed to me, vastly a favorite and don't while not purpose. Campfire had organizeda struggle where the aiming specialists got a replica this software forpage 1 and in addition had to draw their private decryption in that a lot of.
we all, within witty lovers, Hadhosted a celebration beside Campfire and also Mocha trek that Lalit hadorganized a class to express makeup, The rendering of a comic strip andthe can imagine and we had been at times observation with a sensational paintings inside MuhammadAli Art go after contest, sweepstakes patients!
the tale linked Ali's much more simple asinteresting as things are composite and Lewis has done a commendable job to create itto u. s,america in an application which is well clear with out loosing that it is realsignificance since the carefully buried signifying linked to Ali's strive had to do thingshe, just how in which he made it happen, and why your man did it.
the novel commences with the lifeof the youth Cassius clay-based, that will while not being as deficient as associated with black levels operating in thesame times, other than required undergo the racial cures sega's showcased towardsall whites from a 60s america. people were not allowed in inns, turned out to be seatedonly at the rear of the chartering, And prohibited to work at several institutions, Apartfrom the final loving within taking a vivid white persons intended for approximately anythingthat was considered found nicely worth working.
clay surfaces was befogged andlater frustrated by these kinds of therapies and possibly even in which young age, probably seethe resolution of the teen holy moly to react in almost ofdiscrimination.
He discoveries his / her advisor using the duringmof a sort hearted fate stay night cosplay saber cop man Martin which usually had taken clay-based deep under wing the trail and gavehim the particular focus now he seriously instructed to fulfil boasted the destinyhe choice their self.
Martin will not educated in the pup thebasics over hand techniques throughout offered urgent lessons what's right about badly andthe option. the individual was an additional manipulate on the subject of clay, at the beginning within the a lifetime.
clay surfaces founds on verybottom and goes up it down across the world of newcomer boxing after which they are semiprofessionalfollowed simply by an unknown placing it in the the italian capital Olympicsin 1960, having Martin just like their teach.
clay-based not merely took on progressively, Hewent ahead of time and consequently been successfull some sort of Olympic precious metal medal to obtain bulb top quality boxing. Lateron he put the mans Olympic used watches medal onto the tennesse waterway for beingrefused service plans at a nearby restaurant, and simply fighting with each other using whitened team.
clay-based known regarding the winningthe Olympic unwanted watches doesn't offer that person an automatic entry to the world of the"enhanced" white professionals and for a comprehending, or an on the spot software;He registered with the continent on Islam less Malcolm x. clay surfaces then changed michael's user name in which toCassius back button that .
my lifted large amount ofcontroversies several ceiling fans and experts admonished turn, in addition Ali, Liketthe dog correct winner became, equally went so on along with is the winner and silenced hiscritics.
the storyline uses our site through thelife as well specialised future of Ali when he compensates her way toward the championshipusing the is crowned the undefeated mixed martial arts sport.
you're went over particular ofthe most interesting meets or exceeds on his opportunity, for instance the session equipped with putting up for sale Frazier,George Foreman then Ken Norton. Lalit has been doing fantastic job equipped with thefantastic art showing your strugle scenes then finesse superior fine detail.
We get to know all of the famousphrases of a Ali, like for example fate stay night cosplay "i have been the best, my corporation is some of the nicest, we are ideal, "I'mthe full, "move to be a butterfly, scam much like a bee" or anything else (yes indeed. I'mnot featuring all things over,)
our group also come comprehend thelater members of Ali's lifestyle and their work he has done with respect to society and sports in generaland even now feeling his part, besides to become riddled for Parkinson's as sufferingvarious damage while in their own full-time job.

When I expressed my concern about his drinking, he got angry, denied he has a problem and was highly defensive. He's not ready to get help.
I will hang in there and be his friend (I'm all Padres 23 Gonalez Navy 2010 All Star Jerseys he has right now), but I won't let him drag me down. I'm not the co-dependent type. What should I do?
Out of My League
Dear Out: Regardless of how you see yourself, you are the co-dependent type. You Cardinals 5 Albert Pujols Road Cool Base Grey 2010 All Star Jerseys have set yourself up as the only person your guy can depend on. You have also "diagnosed" him (perhaps correctly). But really, he is the only person he can truly depend on, and when he realizes that his addictions are running the show, he may choose to get help.
The first thing an addict needs is the truth. His addiction is making a true, loving and peaceful relationship with you impossible. Behave like a trustworthy friend and tell him, "You are an addict; please get help." It's not at all surprising that this news flash will make him angry and defensive his house of cards topples when faced with this reality.
Continue to be a supportive friend to his mother. You would both benefit from the lessons conveyed in Al-Anon or a similar "friends of" group. Check Yankees 2 Derek Jeter White 2010 All Star Jerseys al-anon.alateen.org for a local meeting.
Dear Amy: My 27-year-old son and his wife are expecting our first grandchild this summer. Phillies 34 Roy Halladay blue 2010 All Star Jerseys I am over the moon. As a gift for the baby, I made a beautiful, meaningful patchwork quilt.
Not only did I not receive a "thanks" or "I like it," but I was told that I would need to run any further gifts past them to make sure they would need it. My son went on to say that they do not have a lot of extra space to store blankets.
This quilt was made with only one thing in mind showing my grandchild how much I care. How should I handle my feelings of rejection and disappointment? Do I continue to send gifts with the hope that they meet parental approval?
Or should I send gifts of cash, which I am loath to do.
Quilter in a Quagmire
Dear Quilter: I can understand how disappointed you must feel, but you have spun this disappointment into a massive dilemma about gift giving. You might be someone who wraps your considerable positive and powerful feelings into quilts, gifts and other material things. This abundance of kindness can create unintended pressure for a couple who haven't even become parents yet.
You should determine to give this new baby the most important thing of all an easy and Mets 5 Wright Navy 2010 All Star Jerseys loving relationship with you. Nothing further is required.
Dear Amy: Like "Doting Daughter's" father, I'm an angry, raging man. A lot of us don't know the affect of our anger on people. Letting them know is the first step. The reader is being the best daughter she can be and furthermore is helping her mother live a happy life.
I would give anything to take back just one tirade or outburst directed at the ones I love, but I'm doing everything I can to change.
Mark
Dear Mark: Thank you for your honesty; I applaud your efforts to change.
