Over a lifetime of learning we each bring together a unique combination of knowledge, thoughts, memory and perspectives. Our uniqueness grows with every learning experience and with it our potential for insight, innovation and creative expression.
thinking in a large space
Espresso Shot Eye Opener: Something Cool About Learning, Memory, Minds, Brains and Cognition
The exploration of the cognitive sciences takes place in an explosively large space - a near infinity of networked playgrounds and vistas of thought. The space is as big as the universe of things that minds can think about; the number of ways they can think about them; the number of ways they can internalize, encode and structure this thinking; the number, types and combinations of minds that are doing the thinking; the number of ways that these minds can interact with each-other; the cultures, societies, structures, dynamic systems, languages and shared spaces which house the artifacts and patterns generated by these interactions. That's cool!
Combinatorics
Combinatorics
Big Sky Definitions:
Functional #1: Combinatorics asks the question of how many different ways a set of things can be combined, rearranged and selected.
Zoomed Out # 1: Combinatorics comprises a language that allows us to describe, predict and design for explosive complexity and potential.
Lens set:
Initial approach: Think about the idea hinted at in these fragmentary definitions
Why would it be useful to know ahead of time how many ways there are to a arrange a set of things?
What fields of inquiry might this be useful in?
What systems or objects might require a language like this in order to capture key attributes?
External ecosystems, collections and sightings
What kinds of concepts hang our in the area of this term? Should any of them be slated as conceptimals?
If you feel like it and after (only after) some time consider things on your own - have a look at this wiki article. It is pretty good. Warning! if you are nerd it might just kill you!
