Each of us use the same basic neural pathways, yet we don’t all think the same thing. Why? Because we have different content traveling along the neural pathways.
Neural Pathways and Their Content
Parallel Thought Paths
Our moment-by-moment actions vie with our plans. Choosing is hindered by uncertainty and those distinctions between personal experience and cultural dictates.
Left-Right Brain Discussion
The corpus callosum connects the two cortical hemispheres 200 million times, linking the cortical mass of 15 billion neurons. With a very broad brush, we can say that there is a comparison (with the opportunity for either side to replace its current neural summary with that of the other hemisphere) every 75 neural steps.
How similar is similar enough?
Fidelity is calculated as the number of combinations of excitatory and inhibitory inputs that make the inequality true divided by the total number of combinations possible.
Partial Pattern Completion. Evidence
Gestalt psychologists have documented many instances that support the basic grouping principles, which detail many of the ways in which the human mind completes partial data and lay open the interpretation that those principles support matching higher level concepts.
Overuse of intuition can be a burden
Intuition is basically drawing conclusions based on relationships between dissimilar items that have a some similarities.
Non-Logical Drives Hierarchy
Emotions are non-logical drives of the choices we make. They are non-logical. They arise from our genetic heritage and our personal experience rather than from logical deduction.
