The NN has no authenticity control. <br /><br />Everybody has false memories<br /><br />Example: <br />Most of our communication these days is written. Meatspace meetings or at least voice/video streams take a far behind second and third place. <br />In communication with friends in the USA I fairly often noticed misunderstandings. By analyzing the situation with a friend in America (with background in psychology), my grasp of the English language was not the problem. <br />Each time I meet these persons, or when we video chat, any previous misunderstandings could be cleared and no new came up. Many people underestimate the nonverbal communication channel that is completely missing in written communication. <br />So when that whole communication channel is missing, the brain fills in some of the expected, but missing data. What is filled in depends on what you said: memes, nationality, history, any form of group identityManuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386262523478264818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-62638947820960924262014-03-13T11:18:48.768+01:002014-03-13T11:18:48.768+01:00Well put, Manuel :)
Another thing I didn't re...Well put, Manuel :)<br /><br />Another thing I didn't really touch upon in the article is that of feedback loops between IUs, which tends to lead to strife over a completely imaginary topic. See countries, economies, religions and wars as examples of this. It's essentially the selfish meme, as written about before by others. <br /><br />The idea that a thought or concept can propagate itself throughout a population like a virus, multiplying and evolving, but ultimately doomed to vanish again in the brutal meme ecosystem.Maya Poschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747916275364501887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-11990073625221732422014-03-13T10:21:19.696+01:002014-03-13T10:21:19.696+01:00Good thoughts

Sheeps and bunnies in clouds. <br />To go to your model, your SA works with wrong data, because the I already goes through the pattern recognition Black Box. SA does not judge the I on raw data. The data from I is already interpreted, or filtered. <br />I agree on your last paragraph as it covers mostly what I explain with the problems of the communication model. <br />Most people see this mode<br />Sender - Receiver<br />But both sender and receiver filter their O and I by filters that are formed through a lifetime by experiences (recognized patterns) What I say in any form of language is a poor representation of my thoughts and the same words, as the arrive to you, mean slightly different things to you. Add to that more filters, like social layers (how do I want to express myself to appear to you in a form that I wish to appear to you; what is your general attitude to I coming from me, by your social view of my person, your experience with me...)<br />...it goes just further down the rabbit hole. <br />To go back to your model. Two IUs will never be able to exchange data without error, because the communication is flawed through filtering by applying different learned patterns Manuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386262523478264818noreply@blogger.com
