The structure of Mind. Designing reasoning systems.
The instruction-manual that reveals the principles of existence of reasoning system and pseudo-reasoning systems.
The developers and designers of new virtual worlds can be guided by the principles of syntalism for creating reasoning stand alone self-teaching systems. The book will be useful for the designers of computer systems in virtual reality, games, artificial intelligence systems, reasoning system and pseudo-reasoning systems. It will be helpful for psychologists, sociologists, managers, and people who deal with art, building and construction, as well as usual people who want to understand the principles of present reality and its work and generally for the enhancement of the quality of life.
The book reveals the fundamental structure and principles of work of reasoning and pseudo-reasoning systems.
Reasonableness is the ability to see beauty. Beauty is regularities. The simpler the man, the broader and the plainer the regularities for him to notice them and to find them beautiful must be.
In case mind cannot find the essence, it will devise the essence automatically. This system is needed to protect the brain from looping. A side effect of the existence of this mechanism was the emergence of the human mind.
A mentally ill person has only one psychological problem, but a big one. Everything is vice versa with those mentally sane. They have a lot of psychological problems, but these are minor ones, for while in endless conflict with one another they exhaust their strength.
The myth about intuition acting better than mind is associated with a negative contrast. On the background of a weak mind the strong It (ONO) seems to be much better than it is in reality.
A reasonable person harmonically combines the subjective with the objective as extremes give rise to vices. The person living in the world of illusions is а deceitful and extremely inattentive . The person living only in the world of reality is formulaic, slow and, as a consequence, silly and little capable of self-training.
Wisdom is a derivative of foolishness. Transforming foolishness into wisdom, a person gets cleverer. But if there’s no foolishness, then there’s nothing to transform into wisdom.
Robots perceive information objectively and people do it subjectively. It can be said that human communicates with the world by a subject-oriented interface. Human is almost unable to observe the objective world. Bad memory distinguishes people from the robots very favorably. Absolute memory makes people extremely unhappy and foolish, they have no reasons to second-guess the information. The main resources of the human brain are aimed at second-guessing of the external information.
The genuine non-linear strategic thinking, based on such a tool as intuition is inherent to the quantum way of thinking. This way of thinking is characterized by the simultaneous analysis of the incongruous factors.
Creating a single multifactor model of the situation and evaluating it not by the usual consequent-linear way, but by parallel-quantum way under the simultaneous analysis of all the system conditions.
The idea of the cognitive dissonance develops Freud`s ideas. The very mechanism that causes cognitive dissonance was called the It by Freud. Freud thought that the It is programmed in childhood, and it’s true. The It is programmed well and tightly in childhood and youth. But, as the modern psychologists since the physiologist Pavlov have proved, the It and the other conditioned reflexes can be programmed whenever and by whatever.
The situation when a person stops understanding what’s happening turns his brain off even more and transfers the control over the body to subconscious. The IT sees that the brain doesn’t manage and takes over.
The role of genetics in human life is greatly exaggerated. Imagine that there is one good driver and two cars. One car is very expensive and good, the other cheap and bad. I assure you, a good driver Slippers will not prevent a good dance. Moreover, drivers are trained on cheap cars, not on expensive ones.
Animals differ from reasonable people in the level of their pleasures. The higher pleasures of the mind are a thousand times more powerful and motivating than the pleasures of animals. The reason for my pleasures endlessly willing to fight and improve, and the animals are happy and the joys that we have. That is, the joy of animals do not motivate their desire for perfection.
Infinite space incomprehensible and huge... But much closer to it there is a human soul - in fact, the same universe, inside of which there are millions worlds are born and die civilizations; in their castles live beautiful princesses and the princes fight with dragons by their hand... Variants of these worlds endless....
I simplify everything, of course. It’s easier to understand this way. Taking the complicated into the simple parts, you will better understand better how it all works. To understand the complicated, it must be taken into the simple parts.
When an animal's young is born, as a rule, it's ready for living a full life. But a human newborn is born a bit incomplete and reaches the level of an animal only at the age of one and a half... and then it leaves the animal level behind and keeps on developing... It's curious that this incompleteness in a human soul remains for life. All one's life a person will not feel ready for something, will lack something and still feel incomplete... And this very feeling of being incomplete is what differences human beings from animals as this is the perpetual motion which makes this world go round... This very inborn human incompleteness, this inborn imperfection... multiplied by endless thirst for attaining to perfection...
The words are drawn out lip line, winding noodles on ears, hanging noodles with ears, crawling into ears… and laying endless threads in the brain… In fact, noodles are the brain or is the brain made up of words… That is, the soul is a set of words, ever heard, spoken or invented by him...
Social animals are made so that they reckon more on the information from the fellow individuals. ... Strong, big and influential neighbors take away from the weaker individuals their own ability to think and make decisions.
A human being is a usual social (pack) animal. Not a simple animal but a tamable one. Thus, if you want some person to jump over a ball, it's necessary to treat this person like a dolphin and give fish for the right actions or punish for the wrong ones. What's more, even though according to Freud, it's the inner IT that rules a person and that can hardly be controlled by a person. However, there also exists the external IT or external ruling signals formed by society and people around (as any human is a social animal). And these signals, this external IT greatly rules and controls the inner IT of a person. Thus, even though a person can barely control or change anything on the inside, then it can be easily done by means of external things.
The thought that extraterrestrial intelligence differs from human, is strange. The essence of intelligence and life in general is pleasure and pain. It's hard to imagine any other essence of life.
Freud's genius idea about the subconscious 'It' that rules a person and hardly depends on this person, should be explained and extended. It's rational to believe in the existence of both inner It and external It. The latter one is the so-called collective It typical of all pack animals.
Taking into consideration that up to 70% of information is transmitted through senses, you do not even need to speak or read (it works both ways, though). You can just stand or walk around the source of information and your head will be filled with original thoughts and ideas. Enlightenment and comprehension will come upon your brain like waves.
Information can and should be comprehended, but a lot depends on the strength of the intellect (logic, dialectics) and the power of the subconscious (the inner It). The subconscious refuses to expand its boundaries as it is dangerous. Everything new and unknown is outside the scope of the past experience and is therefore rejected by the It. Rejection of information occurs at the emotional-hormonal level: being bored, disliking, feeling pain, discomfort, aggressive disagreement. As a consequence, re-comprehension of information is available to very few people. It is difficult to get rid of the It's dictate. It`s possible to solve the problem by coming near the source of information. In this case, the outer social It is turned on thus turning off the inner It, forcing it to perceive information. In addition, direct contact with information allows to feel and understand it, having received previously unavailable 70% of information.
There is no need to cross the line, there is Nothing and Emptiness behind it, but it's necessary to expand the boundaries using Nothing as the free space for growth. That is, it is necessary to grow from the inside, thereby growing from the outside.
The problem is not that there are no answers, the problem is that the questions are over. You are restricted by questions. That`s they that draw boundaries that you cannot cross. After all, questions generate answers and answers are a source of growth, expanding the boundaries.
It's only something after one's own heart that is at heart as well. Anything else just stays on the surface until it becomes close to heart. Many things just wait for their time. The time when one will start to realize something.
