Chapter 103 The Monster of Association

After leaving the house, he walked straight for 300 meters, and only stopped when he felt that the close vision disappeared.

Then, he took out the sun stone wrapped in a black bag from his pocket.

The vision, undoubtedly, came from here.

In other words, at that time, the sun stone was dominated by the other party and became a tool for the other party to obtain vision.

Vision eyes?

In the myth of the sun god, when the black snake tied up the sun god and swallowed his torso, the giant dismembered the sun god and took away his legs, the strange bird took away the head and removed the eyeballs, and the hound tore the arms and took away the bones.

But wait.

Yao Yan thought about it carefully.

Regarding the part about the strange bird, why did they say to take away the eyeballs after taking away the head?

The eyeballs are on the head, and if they are just taken away, there is no need to explain it specifically, right?

In fact, only the eyeballs were taken away?

Or, the behavior of treating the head and the eyeballs is different?

Take away the head and remove the eyeballs.

Yao Yan pondered, interweaving with the experience just now, and the first thought was-

The strange bird obtained the power of the sun god in some way?

And this power is related to the eyes and the sight just now.

If so, what does it mean that the giant took away the legs?

The ability corresponding to the eyes is naturally related to various observations.

Yao Yan tried to think from the perspective of creation.

Not because of anything else, but because the formation of these trial spaces, from the information he knows now, is condensed by the spirit of "old humans", but according to the information obtained in the hell world, there may still be artificial modifications.

In other words, the history in the trial space should not be thought of from the perspective of historical development and change, but should be viewed from the perspective of thinking activities, memory, association, etc.

Creation is of course inseparable from association, or thinking activities themselves are inseparable from association.

To say the difference between creation and association, it is probably the difference between the two words "imagination" and "association"

Association is to take out the materials in memory.

Imagination is to put some parts of these materials together on top of this and construct them.

If Yao Yan remembers correctly, there are four main forms of association.

Feature association, position association, comparison association, and continuous association

Because of the human brain's memory mechanism, things observed will be classified and recorded.

Smell is recorded in one area, touch is recorded in another area, and all kinds of different senses are separated.

However, the human judgment mechanism is vague, and different people's judgments are also different.

Some people think it is similar when it is 80% the same, some people judge it as similar when it is 50%, and some people even judge it as similar when it is 50% similar.

Moreover, it is also affected by the weights of various aspects.

People who tend to judge the weight of appearance, such as horned hooves, will think that cows and sheep are similar because they both have horns, four legs, and hooves.

However, he himself may not know where his judgment weight tends to be. After reaching this conclusion, when tracing back, he will find knowledge such as "sheep and cows are both mammals" and "cows and sheep are both bovines" from his memory.

"Verify" your judgment from this knowledge, and you will feel that you made the judgment because of this knowledge.

Of course, there are also cases where the opposite is true. In fact, the judgment is based on knowledge, but the mistake is attributed to the similarity in appearance.

However, the expression of feature association is also wrong. It should be called feature association.

Because it is not just features such as appearance and smell, but also functional features.

For example, both water cups and swimming pools can hold water, and both airplanes and ships can carry people.

There are many features that can be associated, and there is often more than one common feature between the two. It just depends on which point the person is thinking about.

For example, another common feature between water cups and swimming pools can be "open" or "smooth", and the common feature between airplanes and ships is "white" or "big".

Maybe some people think this is far-fetched, which is normal. After all, different people have different experiences, and their judgment mechanisms and focus are often inconsistent.

However, because of this, the judgments made are often based on oneself, and one will unconsciously impose things that one thinks are unreasonable on others, and think that this is certainly unreasonable.

From the perspective of feature association, what will be associated with "eyes" as the center?

People with different knowledge, cultural regions, and experiences will have different associations.

Yao Yan pondered.

Taking "body parts" as the direction, the first thing that comes to mind is the head.

Taking "sensory organs" as the direction, the first thing that comes to mind is the nose and ears.

Taking "outline" as the direction, the first thing that comes to mind is a circle or an ellipse.

But if we further associate it.

Head, eyes, the country and region where he lived, if this person is familiar with the myth of Pangu, he will think of things like the sun and the moon.

If he is not familiar with it, then it is generally the most familiar things with relevant characteristics. For example, people who have been with cats and dogs for a long time and look at cats and dogs will think of the eyes of cats and dogs.

Forensic police who deal with corpses, if it is not the subconscious avoidance caused by cognitive negative feedback, generally think of various damaged eyes and heads such as rot and bruises.

In the direction of nose and ears, then it may be cameras, monitors, various sensors and other items that come to mind.

The spirit of the old humans who make up this trial space should also make associations in this direction.

Although it is not impossible, because of the difficulty of replicating experience, what everyone associates with will not be exactly the same.

Then, in this world, the association about "eyeballs"

Surveillance and observation, this basic feature, should not be lost.

The sight he just felt is consistent with this point.

In this world, it cannot be understood in a conventional way of thinking.

The best way is to think from the perspective of formation.

However, association is of course not just characteristic association, and creation is not just using characteristic association.

Position association is the proximity in time and space, such as what you did today, you will think about what you did yesterday and tomorrow, what you will do, and when you see what happened in the living room, you will think about what happened in the bedroom.

Contrast association, a binary contrast association with a certain element, from light to no light, less light "darkness", from noise to no noise, less noise "silence", good and bad, etc.

Process association, in the form of a continuous process related to the association target, from heavy rain to no rain, from small to large, and the process of rain stopping. Because of the lack of water, people think about what will happen after the lack of water, why there is a lack of water, and so on. If I remember correctly, this kind of association is also called causal association.

Creation, or imagination, is to string together and piece together various things that come to mind.

According to some people's views, the creative process itself can be described as "stitching monsters".

However, the moment this idea came up, he was suddenly stunned.

"Stitching monsters"?

The woman in the hell world, the one who made a "deal" with him.

It seems that the woman did not tell him the truth.

Although it was expected, it was unexpected that it would be this way.

With a flip of his palm, the Deformed Shadow Crow appeared in his hand.

Aren't paper pages and shadow crows stitched together by two things?

Maybe

His sight turned to the sun stone in his hand.

Then, he summoned the black crow again.

Black crow, can it cooperate with the Deformed Shadow Crow to do some linkage?
