First some background: I have a theory of consciousness that I’ve obsessed over for the past 20 years almost and I’ve even written a book about it here.
Well, in my dream, I was helping the cops figure out the whereabouts of a gang of criminals and we were all using the principles of my theory to do it. We had a kind of marker board where we were outlining the main structure of my theory in 5 succinct points. I showed them how if we worked through the logic of it, understanding each point one by one, they would find out where the baddies were. Don’t ask me how the logic of my theory would be useful in this way, because I don’t know.
Anyway, anyone wanna have a crack at what it means?
These are the kinds of dreams, which seem to be cognitively primordial. My dream of Polanyi, was equivocally similar, meaning,mother were modeled after an expectation. When the expectation comes into proximity to the very limit of available data, the force or veracity of the posed problem overcomes it by the force of extra real content. In this case, robbery may be used metaphorically to mean a fear of leakage of stored information, data. you have a system, a logical method to find a solution, and Your confidence corresponds to being able to contain the leakage or loss of memory of the leaked information.
The information probably exceeds the boundaries within which the data was stored, so You want to simplify them to retro fit the boundaries within Your own system.
Basically, You are afraid that if You cannot reduce them to fit within the logical boundaries, they, the criminals may get away.
I am using robbery generically, since all crime in a manner of speaking drive a victim of something, either tangible or not
A good theory would be describable in a paragraph or even a couple of sentences. Otherwise it means you haven’t nailed it down yet, or that you haven’t gone through expansion ~ the lengthy exploratory phase of deduction, prior to the final succinct; ah it means >this<, phase.
Or knowing your work somewhat you have probably done that many times over, so now you are back at another tier of complexity/expansion.
Interesting to see what you’ll come up with in the end.
Yeah, you’re probably right.
