Edelman's 'Scene' Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Edelman (1992: 118):
But in some animal species with cortical systems, the categorisations of separate causally unconnected parts of the world can be correlated and bound into a scene. By a scene I mean a spatiotemporally ordered set of categorisations of familiar and non-familiar events, some with and some without necessary physical or causal connections to others in the same scene.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, such a 'scene' is an ongoing instantiation of perceptual meanings, construed of experience, that are the range, or cause, of mental processes unfolding through a senser.
