- system = knowledge network with integrity
- What constitutes systematic?
-
- Mere arrangement of fragmented knowledge is not systematic.
- A link between them brings us closer to the system.
- Linkage is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
- For example, how about a daily diary linked to the previous day, the next day, and N years ago?
- The links here are not limited to digital, but Associative links in the brain.
- Associative links come together to form [Associative Networks
- Linkage is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
- Can follow a link Can go up or down in abstraction. and move fast in the network
- Principle of skip list (metaphor not conveyed)
- When you see a concrete example, you can immediately associate it with “Oh, this is that pattern,” and this is the link of association that raises the level of abstraction
- Fast movement within the knowledge network reduces the time it takes to search for knowledge.
- The shorter time it takes to search improves the time to find useful knowledge for a given external situation and the probability of success.
- People around you describe this phenomenon as “smart,” “idea man,” “good at verbalization,” etc.
- And when I say that it’s the result of learning, not innate, I’m talking about what’s the difference compared to someone who has learned but can’t do it.
- That’s where I say, “Because I learned it systematically.”
