bicamerality

Rfv-sense for all of the following:

• The hypothesis or theory of the Bicameral Mind, proposed by Julian Jaynes in 1976, to account for all the cultural and archaeological evidence that the earliest civilizations world-wide were built by and for humans without introspective consciousness.
• The hypothetical functional relationship between the hemispheres of the brain along with the underlying neurological structures and processes needed to produce the Bicameral Mind of an ancient human.
• The bicameral psychological processes of the right hemisphere “commanding” and the left hemisphere “obeying” that enabled ancient humans to make decisions and take action without introspective consciousness.
• The cultural, especially religious, products of ancient bicameral individuals and societies as expressed in their beliefs, activities and artefacts created without introspective consciousness.

Note also that the entry format has now changed or that bicameral and bicamerally now have similar content added by the same editor. — surjection ⟨?⟩ 10:56, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

And bicameralism as well, in addition to a bunch of "Further reading" on the RFV'd page in question... — surjection ⟨?⟩ 10:59, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Such single-minded devotion to a PoV! DCDuring (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

It looks like someone removed all the contested definitions without updating this page. I think we can leave it as is, as the Julian Jaynes sense of the bicameral mind is included under bicameral, and the remaining definition relies on the definition of bicameral.
