PCT in creative science

[From Bill Powers (2008.05.14.1344 MDT)]

On the way to searching for the PCT Facebook, I ran across this astonishing piece (keep reading until you get to "perceptual control");

Hmm. I did as you suggested and missed it first time through. Caught it
the second time around. What do you make of it? It is so blatantly
PCT-like that I wonder why no mention of PCT outright. On the other hand,
what if he's never heard of PCT? Wouldn't that be remarkable?

OTOH, perhaps she comes from a part of Indian society where people assume PCT as a matter of course, so no special reference is expected or required.

Why don't you write to her (see note at end of web page) and ask?
