Understanding is a staircase function

• Understanding is a staircase function, and one day you just know.
  • I’ve had a lot of experiences like that.
  • embryo - the phenomenon of being able to do it one day 1
    • I remember shokai mentioned it in an old article.
    • Scrapbox improves efficiency! The case of shokai, a super remote worker (first half)
      • This is exactly what I mean. It “comes” to you when you do things differently, or don’t change the way you do them, or don’t give up, or just keep doing things as you go along.
        • Maybe the “appropriate” part is the core, surprisingly.
        • Even if you don’t have a strong sense of learning, I get the sense that increasing the amount of time you’re in contact with them has its own benefits.

• I remember seeing the same topic elsewhere, but does anyone know?
  • Content: (Effort|Workload) and (Progress|Achievement|Ability) are non-linear
  • I remember /nishio definitely had it.
  • - Maybe not, but in chapter 2 of [[The Road to Super Engineer]], there was a story about pinball. - Non-linear in the way scores rise. - Also, there's a story similar to [I'm a good painter because I'm a good observer. - [[Increased skill in using tools leads to a more detailed perception of the world]] これかな？ - I remembered it from [[New doors opened.]] but the name was changed. - The original name sounds more nonlinear.

relevance - percolation (percolation) - > When there are a large number of isolated nodes (sites) scattered in space, and these nodes are connected by a connected edge (bond), a localized small-scale network is initially formed in a scattered manner. If we continue to connect these small nodes with an appropriate probability, the entire network will suddenly become a connected mesh structure when the probability exceeds a certain level. In the case of conductive connected edges, an electric current flows from one end to the other. - percolation｜Powder Engineering Dictionary - [I think that “small local networks are formed in a scattered manner,” and “if they continue to be connected with a reasonable probability,” “suddenly the whole network becomes a connected mesh structure.
