Comments

Relative to The SEU Philosophy... "Frame of Reference" refers more to The Cognitive and Emotional Aspects of Conscious Processes.

Compared to Universal Reality... it is very limited... and related more to The Self than The SELF.

The Concept is important in The Definition, Understanding, and Discussion of The Term "Paradigm".
