An inquiry to cogling has, as always, borne fruit. What I call semantic overload is called, more technically, Semantic Satiation. It's a pretty well explored phenomenon, no surprise. The link is to a Google Answers page, and does a great job of summarizing.
So the next task for me is to add a little support for the notion that this relates to Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (R) technique, and mantra work.
The obvious connection is in repitition. But I'll be hanged if I can explicate it the way I'd like, except to say as a model these methods are related by the way repitition violates pattern expectations, creating the structure hunger that is the back-bone of Erickson's Confusion Technique. But that's poorly said. Expect more on this before long; it bothers me.
Structure Hunger, for the record, may be a sanctioned Transactional Analysis term, but I first ran into it in the ever delightful, "The Amateur Magician's Handbook":
Shut a man up in a blank cell and he'll hunt for designs in the cracked plaster. Some psychologists call bordom "structure hunger."
And will anyone ever convince me this is not the nature of all meaning?
