Let me use it as an example of what I'm trying to explain with the help of some drawings. is that my memory has stor some important data from what I have read. But in no way does it keep the textual relationship of the words in the book as a computer does. While the computer piles up bits that it does not understand we humans emb new knowlge in the framework of our knowlge in a qualitative way. Memory only saves what it can put into a context and by saving it it enriches and modifies its own structure. Therefore I have tri to reflect this in the following images.
The first thing we have to understand is that memory does not stack data like in a library. You have not carefully plac this new book among his family as I have done in my world of paper and written words. My shelves Phone Number List of books on Complexity Biology Thermodynamics… I never quite figure out how to place them. I have mark where I have put (for now) my new book. On the contrary my memory has plac the contents of the book within the framework of other knowlge and books that I had read before.
In doing so he has been able to take advantage of the relationships with those previous books in order to understand it and at the same time he has thicken the trees with a new branch. We have hardly any idea how our memory is organiz in the brain but I want to imagine it this way: Locating a new book in the forest of prior knowlge. Unfortunately humans only see three dimensions and the paper condemns us to use only two. But it is evident that the interrelationships between these branches and leaves of different trees are much more numerous and tangl.
