        <term>AN ASSUMPTION IS NAMED AND TRACED TO THE HYPOTHESIS THAT LICENSES IT: this assumption is based on the DIRECT MOTOR SPECIFICATION HYPOTHESIS, according to which an adequate response is UNCONSCIOUSLY ASSOCIATED WITH A STIMULUS WITHOUT HAVING TO BE MEDIATED BY THE SEMANTIC LEVEL.

        <note>about this quote: PROVENANCE: this record belongs to the priming sub-corpus, which is the other terminal&#x27;s lane, and these mechanisms were written by the project. No two hands were on the record - it carried no mechanisms before these, and the project confirmed on 2026-08-17 that the project is auditing rather than tagging. Kept rather than retracted on his instruction (17:22): retracting verified work over a bookkeeping flag would leave a retraction reason that misdescribes the row. Recorded here so a reader learns it from the corpus. AND A SEPARATE, MORE IMPORTANT PROVENANCE POINT: this quote is cut from the Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B review, which is the staged text. The record&#x27;s &#x27;idno&#x27; names an OUP BOOK CHAPTER (doi 10.1093/oso/9780199230617.003.0009) and its &#x27;venue&#x27; is the book - the chapter has no open copy and the titles are word-for-word identical, so the journal review was staged deliberately.

        <label>SUBLIMINAL versus PRECONSCIOUS - a distinction between two states that can look identical in a behavioural report and differ in WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. Subliminal information `cannot be brought into consciousness, in spite of all efforts of focused attention`; preconscious information `potentially carries enough activation for conscious access` and is merely buffered for want of attention. A counterfactual criterion, which this corpus has very few of - the two are told apart by what a different allocation of attention would have done</label>

        <note>direction on the measure: increases · strength of the relation: 0.9 · note: The operational link between a technique and a state: masking is what makes the bottom-up strength insufficient, which is what makes the resulting non-conscious perception SUBLIMINAL rather than preconscious. It is why almost every masked-priming record in this corpus is about the subliminal half of the taxonomy.
Audit 2026-09-28: DOUBTFUL - read against its full span and kept, but the span says stimuli are made subliminal by brief presentation and masking; causes[increases] is loose.</note>
