Is a dynamic of dramatic structure and dramatic structure informs the media dreamscape, dreams (Jacoby, 1973), and neuro-semantic bio-chemical processes at the foundation of cultural narratives (Lakoff, 2008). Therefore, premise plays a critical “embodied” role in the human cognitive structure for perceiving reality and truth. Premise can be employed to disambiguate context in order to make motive more transparent. Understanding the dynamic underlying premise is critical to understanding the infinitely complex media-field. Premise is an unorthodox but scientifically verifiable approach to addressing how the media is contextually perceived and how it may be contextually healed. The dynamic we call premise has its analog in the dynamic of coherent entrainment. Coherent entrainment is both a process and a state-of-being. Following the process of entrainment to the goal of coherence can be explicated at deep levels of resonance by observing the role of premise as it unfolds between dramatic “exposition” (statement of the dramatic problem) and “ lysis ” (Resolution of the dramatic problem). Another way to say this is that Natural teleology , common in classical philosophy, though controversial today, contends that natural entities also have intrinsic purposes [premises], irrespective of human use or opinion. For instance, Aristotle claimed that an acorn's intrinsic telos [according to a process of coherent entrainment (growth)] is to become a fully grown oak tree. In other words, premise is the arbiter between resonant beginning (archetypal EM patterns) and endings (consummation of First Cause Intention). Premise enables contextual persons and collectives to discover their raison d’être.

Abstract
Carl Jung's therapy is based on the dramatic structure of dreams, and current neurobiology and semantics confirms that drama—as defined by Plato—is the electromagnetic (EM) pattern of human reality. Therefore, fractal universal structure may be perceived in everything—“as above, so below”—and First Cause morality and intention can be correlated with contextual human purpose. Dramatic premise is a common denominator that integrates all of the dramatic components (plot, character, exposition, and lysis). First Cause Intention trickles down to personal harmony of purpose, but FC morality has always been problematic for humans. What part does evil play in the drama of human-cultural morality? Due to the significant difference of scale, human “contextuality” must be factored into the equation for moral behavior. Today's artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for media technology can be used to foster authentic FC “coherent entrainment” according to Carl Jung's ratio between archetypes of the unconscious and their relatively conscious projections as archetypal representations (AR).
