Why do we care about this architecture?
Align to how we manage information in a moment
Memory
- Is finite in the short term
- Long term memory is primarily based on interest
- Short or long, it’s fickle and fungible
- We will confabulate ‘memory’ to build a better story
- Chunking aids memory
- Managing information-overwhelm aids memory
Meaning
- We want meaning so much that we’ll scent information from steps away and follow it through
- We will impress meaning when we don’t have enough context, and believe it wholeheartedly without further questioning its closeness to right or wrong
Cognitive bias
- We have preformed, well-worn pathways that we lean into for decisions that feel similar enough to be relevant
- They are so quickly engaged we rarely even realize it
- This field, especially, is constantly adding understanding and hypothesis
My primary disciplines here are cognitive psychology and neurology, with a large splash of first- to third-person watching over decades.
