• Allogical — Being outside the realm of logic, not utilizing the formal criteria or rules of rational reasoning; foreign to standard logical structures, yet without necessarily being absurd or contradictory (antilogic). In philosophy, it defines pure intuitions or deep affective states that escape rigorous conceptual analysis and cannot be explained through mathematical syllogisms.
• Ambidexterity — The ability, faculty, or quality of using both hands (or both feet) with equal ease, skill, and precision in executing various actions. Structurally and neurologically, this physiological condition is linked to atypical or incomplete brain lateralization, with hemispheres controlling motor movements symmetrically.
• Apperceptible — Capable of being consciously perceived and integrated into the cognitive structure of the mind through apperception; intelligible, conceptually clear, or capable of being assimilated through voluntary attention. It describes the property of a stimulus to pass beyond the threshold of simple organic sensation.
• Apperceptive — Pertaining to apperception or relating to apperception; characterized by the capacity to assimilate, interpret, and integrate new perceptions based on previously accumulated psychic experiences. In psychopathology, it describes the higher processes of conscious form recognition (e.g., apperceptive agnosia).
• Self-deluded — Having deluded oneself, feeding on empty illusions or accepting a false situation as true in order to avoid facing a painful or uncomfortable reality; gripped by a harmful self-deception or a persistent illusion.
