A non-symbolic user, to me, is a non-human. I consider that all
realms, the physic-chemical, biologic and human conceptual realms,
engage in semiosis, but only the human realm uses symbols in this
interaction. You will probably disagree.
Yes, I am suggesting that the term Quasi-mind, which applies to
dialogic interaction, is a momentary event within the interactions of
the utterer and interpreter.

I will review and comment on the quotes that Gary R. posted at a
later time, and also offer my current working definition of
"Quasi-mind." For now, I am just seeking clarification of your brief
remarks below.
1. What do you mean by "a non-symbolic user"?2. Are you suggesting
that the term "Quasi-mind" applies to "dialogic interaction" as a
momentary event, rather than each of the individual participant(s)
therein?

Again, my reading of these sections is that the Quasi-Mind appears
in the semiosic action of interaction.
If one considers that Mind is an essential and universal component
of all existence and dialogue is equally essential to semiosis, then,
I am understanding the Quasi-Mind as appearing within the dialogic
interaction. So, even if the individual himself has ONE mind, in the
dialogic semiosic interaction, a Quasi-mind develops within the
interaction. Two Quasi-minds, the utterer's and the interpreter's -
even if the dialogue is with oneself. And then, I presume, the
Quasi-mind 'dissolves' and another emerges within the next semiosic
interaction.
That's my reading of it at the moment. And, as with all semiosis, I
consider that this involves the physic-chemical and biological realms
as well as the human conceptual realms of semiosis.

I'd also like some clarification and discussion of the 'quasi-mind'.
I have a very different interpretation than that of JAS, who seems, to
me at least, to assign the term of a 'quasi-mind' to a non-symbolic
user - whereas, in the 4.551 selection, the term seems to me, at
least to refer to an act of connection of two Minds, such that they
are in an almost closed dialogic interaction.
However, I'll leave it to others to start up this thread.
