In Plato’s Theaetetus, Socrates characterizes the thought process as being an internal dialogue resulting in choice: “[the mind] asks itself questions and answers them, saying yes or no. And when it reaches a conclusion (which may take quite a long time or may involve a sudden leap), stops being divided and starts to affirm something consistently, we call this its belief.”1 But what if there appears to the mind to be no choice other than to be compelled to make the same choice repeatedly? The mind’s willingness to accept “no choice” as fact where it may well be only appearance produces the performance behavior of incapacity, the stuff of personal legend and artistic ascription.
