THE THREE GRACES ... why have i failed to make a scrapbook of the three ladies who inspired so much art ? ... better start right away with a painting by latecomer, LOVIS CORINTH ... and maybe then we can hark back to the origins ...

FIRST  ... painters need only the slightest of pretexts to rejoice in the female form and to IDEALIZE it ...

SECOND ... our THREE GRACES almost certainly originated in Ancient Greek mythology as THE THREE CHARITIES ... 

Before we go further ... THEOI.COM is your go-to source for all things greek-classical ...

THIRD ... As is typical of all mythologies, none of which are evidence-based, the content and meaning of every story evolves and alters with every telling ... it isn't really possible to define any myth as "the original" ... so perhaps "the earliest know version" is a better label

The Cheshire Cat ... and Schrodinger's Old Tom Cat ... A question follows ...

I have been photographing Schrodinger's Old Tom Cat since 2008 but it never crossed my mind until this afternoon that I might juxtapose him with The Cheshire Cat ...  

... and whilst I was prepping the Cheshire Cat on the screen, i noticed what seemd to be a scribbled word upon his forehead ...

i should be eternally grateful if anyone could tell me if it is a word, and how it got there ... ???

co-pilot makes a useful summary of ORDERS OF INTENTIONALITY ...

Orders of intentionality refer to the levels of awareness regarding 

one's own and others' mental states, ranging from basic awareness 

to complex social interactions.

Understanding Orders of Intentionality

1. First-Order Intentionality: This is the most basic level, where an individual 
2. has beliefs and desires but does not reflect on those beliefs and desires. 
3. For example, if I want to eat an apple, I simply intend to do so without 
4. considering anyone else's thoughts about my intention.
5.  

   2
6. Second-Order Intentionality: At this level, an individual is aware of their 
7. own beliefs and desires as well as those of others. For instance, I might 
8. know that you believe I want to eat the apple. This level allows for a more 
9. sophisticated understanding of social interactions and is often referred to 
10. as having a "theory of mind". 
11. 2
12. Higher- order Intentionality: 
13. This concept extends beyond the second order, where individuals can 
14. reflect on multiple layers of beliefs and desires. For example, I might think, 
15. "I know that you know that I want to eat the apple." Humans can typically 
16. engage in up to six orders of intentionality, although practical communication 
17. usually involves only a few levels.

Implications of Orders of Intentionality

• Social Interaction: Understanding these orders is crucial for navigating 
• complex social relationships. The ability to anticipate others' thoughts 
• and reactions enhances communication and cooperation. For example, 
• if I know that you might think I want to deceive you, I can adjust my 
• behavior accordingly.

• • 
    
• Cognitive Development: Research suggests that children develop the 
• ability to understand these levels of intentionality as they grow, with 
• significant milestones occurring around the ages of 4 to 5 when they 
• begin to grasp that others have different beliefs and desires.

  1
• Philosophical Context: 
• The concept of intentionality has been a significant topic in philosophy, 
• particularly in discussions about the nature of mind and consciousness. 
• Philosophers like Franz Brentano and Daniel Dennett have explored 
• how intentionality relates to mental phenomena and social cognition. 
•

  In summary, orders of intentionality provide a framework for understanding 
• how individuals perceive and interpret their own and others' mental states, 
• which is essential for effective communication and social interaction.
