# The Dialectics of Consciousness The psychoanalytical equivalent of the narratological triad distinguishes between *consciousness* (logos), [[The Subconscious]] (mythos), and *the unconscious* (pathos). Consciousness is housed in the rational brain, the subconscious is housed in the mimetic brain, and the unconscious is housed in the emotional brain. The brain's only way of getting a grip on the world is to fuse logos and pathos into a social mythos -- see [[Tribopoiesis]] -- but this mythos is never more than temporary, wherefore the dialectical process constantly must be repeated.
