W58 – 30 Aug 2024 – UPDATE 1 – Platform

This platform is not only about math/physics and technology. Humanitarian sciences also play a major role in that.

Sociologists and psychologists consider biases as negative things that should be discarded. Confirmation for example obscures one’s viewpoint and the question scientists try to answer is how to prevent that (because bad things should be stopped). But I discussed here before that, it would be terrible if people could completely change their minds overnight. There should be a symmetry that retains the symmetry of people’s beliefs and viewpoints. However, those viewpoint structures shouldn’t be so rigid and concrete that they cannot be changed under any circumstances.

The question then is how to construct jelly-like mental structures. While making use of those biases that guarantee the stability and symmetry of people’s viewpoints, the symmetry should be modified in procedural ways.

The idea of social distances (see 22 July 2024) is the first step toward constructing these procedural mechanisms.


UPDATE 1:

When the structure of something is unknown, it’s very difficult to modify that, be it a mental structure or something else. The aim of this platform is that people knowingly build their mental structure. Which is similar to building the structure of a corporation and a business for example. Every structure starts from building the basis and then new layers will be built on top of that. To ensure the stability of the structure, it’s necessary to attach stronger biases to underlying layers. To change those underlying layers, then one needs to smoothly transform the previous structure with the new one.

So the point I’m trying to make here is that the first step to achieve the procedural mechanisms mentioned before is to construct mental structures procedurally, and that requires wave language.
