(1.1) The learning cycle

To make this chapter more concrete, I first introduce metaphors in me.

Fig: the learning cycle (again) Description of words in the figure are described in learning cycle

The three elements of the cycle correspond to the three spatial dimensions. Information gathering spreads horizontally. Modeling is built up vertically. Verification hides behind the scenes.

Fig: The three elements correspond to three dimensions

• Horizontal - concrete = concrete phase - personal experience = experience - information gathering = information gathering
• Vertical - abstract = abstract phase - abstraction = abstraction - modelling (e.g. a system, etc.) = modeling - Finding Patterns = pattern discovery
• Hiding - application = application phase - practice = practice - verification = verification

• (1.1.1) Information gathering
• (1.1.2) Modeling and abstraction
• (1.1.3) Practice and verification
