Computer-Aided Neural Patterning

Thompson Morrison shows us a kind of pattern sheet that seems incomprehensible in itself, so he adds long textual explanations from the perspective of God's eye hovering over the map, peppered with metaphors. matrix , matrix

Pattern Clusters

Note his initial forming of 'nodal clustering'.

> These clusters have meaning, that which we can later explore, each forming a pattern, a pattern from which a story can be told. Here we sense the hidden potential of our experiment, that of 'emergent patterning' that allows new meaning to emerge as we co-create with the aid of a computer. We now have a name for name for this process, 'computer-aided neural patterning', that which breaths life into the theories of network neuroscience and active inference being pioneered by Basset, Friston and others.

Pattern Stories

The arrow would represents 'thought vector' through a 'concept space' in a cluster of nodes, that which can become a story to be shared with others. Here we can tell a story about how the 'agile mindset', through 'joyful experiments', allows us to 'learn faster'. This experience of 'creative thinking' has 'eureka moments' that happen in an 'emergent whitespace' of unknowing. This process, which updates our understanding of the world, our cognitive map, is referred to by Friston as a 'bayesian belief update' in his theory of 'active inference'. In this way, we can think differently – 'quantum thinking' – that unleashes a 'hidden potential' inside each one of us.

As said, peppered with metaphors.
