Deliberation

The staged weighing of alternatives as an audible process of thought and decision.

Explanation

The staged weighing of alternatives as an audible process of thought and decision. Makes decision experienceable as a path through possibilities.

Example

Do we admit the term, retain it only as a crossway, or leave the gap visible?

Counterexample

We leave the gap visible.

Distinction

Deliberation organises alternatives; dubitatio foregrounds doubt itself.

Effect on thought and perception

Makes decision experienceable as a path through possibilities.

Resonance

Before the decision, the full fan of possible paths briefly appears.
