MemoryIt starts with the Brain. The center of our nervous system, like all vertebrates. Being the center of our nervous system, the brain sends out and receives all forms of communication. The forms of communication can be interpreted to be pain, pleasure, sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Throughout our body roadmaps or nerves are placed ranging from very sensitive to no feeling at all. The range depends on priorities set biologically so, it is most likely based on survival and a standard of efficiency concerning data collected. For instance, there is a reason our eyes have more nerves then our toes. Remember, the brain is in charge of receiving and sending these forms of communication so, it all starts and ends from one distinct point. Therefore, we can narrow our concern to the brain. The brain has a few functions: sending data, encoding data, and most importantly the storage of that date. Think of the brain as a sponge-like scientist, and the world is its experiment. The scientist attempts, through our five senses, to collect as much data as he can about the world. When his receivers send back the date, the scientist frantically attempts to organize, store, and most importantly understand the data. As time goes by, each piece of data that has been analyzed and stored can be linked to more data. So, the scientist will constantly be attempting to compare and contrast the new data with the data processed before. This data could change the entire results of the experiment or only change certain variables. Our world can be set free by truth, or it can only be slightly cleared. The data processed by the scientist is categorized into two sections (from what we know): long term data (memory) and short term data (memory). What decides whether the data becomes long term or short term depends entirely on the scientists ability to cultivate and understand the data so, the encoding and storage process. When the scientist decides to access this data again, he will have to rely on this process. So, depending on the data's viability, the scientist will have to allocate the data accordingly.But, over the course of our existence, or the scientists continued experiment, depending on what story sounds better. The scientists discovered that the data itself had an overt affect and effect upon the experimenter. The scientist, over a course of time and accumulation of data, had a tendency to assimilate connections between new data and processed data, without taking the rigorous steps he had performed before. The data seemed to form itself, and the scientists didn't have problems making further connections. A theory, he cried, and the light was seen. Any flaws that persisted to bother his system were eventually dissolved based on what he called 'reason'. He was so assure of himself that he constructed a mathematical language consisting of symbols that represented his reasonable arguments, 'logic'. He was perfectly happy and content, until another scientist came into being. Excitement wasn't powerful enough to explain the feelings that were radiating from the original scientist. Bob, as the original scientists called him, was de-briefed on all of the progress so far. Bob loved the enthusiasm and ambition that the original scientist showed. But, given the love Bob had for his teacher, he knew he had to be honest. Bob found a flaw in the original scientist's work. "How?" Ask the original scientists, could I have made such an error. Bob explained that there are many flaws within ourselves that present themselves into our data and experiment if we don't take special precaution. It turns out we enjoy the satisfaction of being right, and adaptation and comfort ability (which we also love) present themselves in finding an answer. "An answer?" Asked the original scientists. Yes, it is the mistakes that we should find satisfaction in. "How do we know if we are wrong?" The original scientist asked. That is what you have me for is it not, BoB
