Each being patterns and habits + to aid in forming, finding, choosing, and combining the lower layers effectively. + Learning in deeper layers makes for much stronger intelligence. + +I was working on a puzzle described by '> > > # < < <'. The goal is to move all the '>' to replace all the '<' on the +right. Each may move only in the direction it is pointing, only by 1 or 2 spaces, and only by swapping places with +the '#'. +I was unable to get more than 1 '>' over there by exploration except for once. That one time I can call a childlike- +learning experience. I was unable to repeat it, so by writing I iterated all options, and found it again. When I +found it again, in my exploration to understand, I engaged another childlike-learning state where I solved the whole +puzzle by accident. I could tell I had not learned how to repeat the success generally, so I reset the puzzle. +It seemed to me in the childlike-learning state I was exploring possible metarelevence towards finding puzzle +solutions. I was thinking of it as 'layer 2 metarelevence'. But I was not strongly storing some information, +possibly the layer 3 information, so as to efficiently repeat the experience. That seemed an attribute of the +childlike learning state. I'm pretty sure when I was younger I stored this kind of metarelevence much better. +The state of mind feels familiar to me, of solving a puzzle with a certain feeling of storing the way to do it, +that does not reach verbal description. +I cast the second childlike learning experience as similar to the first, and again do not feel able to repeat it. + +Thinking over the puzzle solution itself, it seems there is active inhibition growing around certain kinds of +metarelevence development. Like a pattern that happens to limit my intelligence. + +In summary it sounded like there is some of what I am calling metarelevence (a few layers deep) that ends up being +specifically inhibited for me. As I describe this, I am trying to form a new structure matching this metarelevence: +the inhibition finds it and inhibits associated behaviors. Maybe a part of my brain that knows to handle such +learning is overtaxed. +The problematic metarelevence appears related to the construction of new forms of quality relevence. +That is, it seems like I am allergic to certain patterns of pattern-matching... ehhh it is hard to think about. + When I have a goal, I need things to meet it. + I need to know which things to pick first, and which things might be useful with other things. + In meeting my goal, given A, what is useful to combine with A to help form structures that meet the goal? + When thinking of what is useful to combine with an idea towards a goal, we use and build certain habits. + Some of these habits seem inhibited. + If I want to go to the store, is a rabbit helpful? no. + Is a car helpful? Yes, cars are a tool for travel, travel is a tool for going to the store. + Given this, if I am in the hay loft, how do I take the car to the store? + I will need to use the ladder down from the hay loft, after putting down my hay, to get + towards the kitchen where I keep my keys for the car. + I have put down my hay before and know I will be without hay as I leave my task. + We found ladder and keys. These are near the car and store for us, now. + We did not iterate all possible tools. We used relevence to find the ladder and keys. + What about our situation might have linked ladder, keys, being-in-hayloft, and drive-to-store? + Ladder is near hayloft in ways-to-enter-and-leave. + Keys are near car in needed-to-use. + Kitchen is near keys in where-are. Where is found from need-to-have-to-use. + Ladder and Kitchen form a path of active travel to meet needs of drive-to-store. + We craft a path of active travel as we work towards meeting our goal. + Our body looks for the most helpful places to go and goes there. + Different parts of cognition influence our relevence when we look for ways to meet our goal. + Things have states that depict what can happen.
