Proc

Context and first mention

During a discussion of Sconic (Praxic-era philosophers) ideas and "Evenedrician datonomy" (study of what is given), Orolo remarks that Saunt Halikaarn was occupied "demolishing Proc" and fending off the "ankle-biters" Proc sent after him. The phrasing treats "Proc" as a metonym for an organized camp or school aligned with positions associated to Saunt Proc, set within the milieu of Sconics in the Praxic Age.

Description and interpretation

  • The term "Proc" is used here as a collective label for a stance, school, or faction rather than a single person. Orolo's wording ("Proc sent...") implies adherents or junior critics acting in that camp's name. The text does not enumerate leaders, ranks, or bylaws; accordingly, "Proc" should be understood as a shorthand for an intellectual camp.
  • This usage sits within ongoing arguments about how minds and signs relate to reality, where Sconic habits and later critiques are in play. Details beyond this brief mention are not provided.

Roles and actions (as described)

  • Described as dispatching "ankle-biters" to challenge Saunt Halikaarn while he was engaged in overhauling Sconic thinking. Orolo suggests Halikaarn spent significant effort "demolishing Proc," with follow-on work later taken up by Saunt Evenedric. These characterizations come from reported speech and carry the speaker's tone.

Relationships and affiliations

  • Name association: by label, tied to Saunt Proc. The passage's metonymy likely refers to a school or faction built around positions associated with that figure.
  • Intellectual context: placed amid Sconics in the late Praxic Age and the later efforts of Saunt Halikaarn and Saunt Evenedric.

Current status

Not specified. The mention provides no membership, location, or institutional details; it functions as a shorthand label within philosophical dispute.

Notes

  • Avoid confusion with the person Saunt Proc. In this usage, "Proc" designates a camp or school, not the individual, though the name connection is explicit in form and implied by context.
  • Colloquialisms like "ankle-biters" convey the speaker's stance rather than formal titles.
Summary:

An avout label used metonymically for a school or camp in Sconic thought; here it is described as if capable of dispatching followers to challenge rivals. The usage appears linked by name to Saunt Proc but no structure or membership is specified.
