Paralogic compliance

"It is paralogic compliance when a subject can accept that the same person is in two locations at the same time. If a hypnotised subject is told that person X is person Y, he will behave accordingly. Then if the real person Y walks into the room, the subject finds it perfectly acceptable that both are person Y. This is similar to the paralogic compliance found today in ... schizophrenia." Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, London, 1990, Penguin, first published 1977, p.390-391
