Reading sketches: the thinking method of creative genius

The traditional concept of thinking is incomplete, because it ignores the illogical thinking form that cannot be described in words.

Creative thinking requires feeling first. The desire to understand must first be combined with perception and emotion, and then with intelligence to produce imaginative views. Body, mind, emotion and intelligence are inseparable.

Education is not like this:

Many good students will encounter the problem of disconnection between their studies and real life. The split between "what" and "how" is the split between "knowing" and "understanding".

If you can't perceive things that don't exist, you can't create new things. If you can't imagine what the world will be like, you will be confined to the world described by others. You see reality in their eyes, not your own. (Thinking of Shen Hao)

What we perceive directly is not true. We must explain what we perceive from the perspective of imagination in order to produce understanding.

13 types of thinking tools:

If you learn to use perceptual stimuli that are often overlooked, you will form a new point of view when you are highly focused.

Observation is a kind of thinking, and thinking is also an observation. The purpose of practical observation is to connect sensory experience with spiritual consciousness as closely as possible.

Memory, Reconstruction and Repetition

The Eye of Engineering and Mind (1992) and Design Invention (1996).

A way to improve the visual sense of hearing: reading. Because almost everyone "hears" his own voice in his head and reads the words on the paper.

Methods to improve visualization ability:

Disadvantages of visualization: the better the skill, the easier it is to present the image directly to others, and it needs to be converted through another medium, which is very painful. This is the conversion of two coding forms, which is bound to cause information loss.

Most people can only recognize things with abstract features, but they can't explain the reasons for the formation of abstract features, let alone create imaginative abstract works.

Simplifying to the extreme can reflect the implied attributes and associations of things, and even convey novel ideas and meanings.

Objective reality is the sum of all related abstract things, and only in the process of exploring the potential characteristics of things can human beings have a deeper understanding of things.

The more concise the text description, the more it needs to incorporate some poetic writing techniques, because each word has to convey more meanings. This applies not only to literary creation but also to the writing of scientific papers. (writing a fund application has a deep understanding of this! )

Abstraction is a kind of thinking process, starting from objective reality, and then cutting out unnecessary elements through some tools, showing essential and unexpected characteristics. People in all fields have the same abstract process of objective reality:

Joke mode: establishment of expected ending (mode 1)- tendency perception of ending (mode 2)- > surprise/sense of humor. Both modes are indispensable. (I believe there may be a similar summary in the book Finite Element in Crosstalk)

Images: based on gestalt effect, paintings with different viewing results from multiple angles, unit mosaics, face glasses, girls' prison pictures, etc. Line test and graphic reasoning questions!

Voice: For example, Xiaoxing and ABC's songs are all in the same tune.

Difficult problem-solutions to scientific problems;

Different models will get different results when solving the same problem, and some models are extremely convenient to solve-this requires people to know more about various models so as not to hate less books when using them. I deeply feel that the mathematical foundation is too poor and the scientific research ability is too weak.

It is very difficult to identify patterns that have not been experienced. In order to improve the level of pattern recognition, the following methods can be used:

There are also patterns to follow in the process of forming patterns:

The above methods are very common in innovative education, but the author has greatly expanded them through this organization. Awesome! Can we find more or more common meta-patterns? Are there any information or cognitive restrictions on this nesting? Are worth studying)

As can be seen from the above, the more patterns you master, the more new patterns you can form. Therefore, interdisciplinary extensive learning is still very important.

Optical art: theory and practice, from which we can practice the formation of graphics.

Mindstorms, Zoob, K'NEX and other building blocks.

Atomic model, matter wave, luminous sculpture, stethoscope, bionics, life maze, love besieged city, life journey.

Only by reading the known and seeking the unknown can we know what it is and what it is.

Unspeakable sixth sense, behavioral inertia, emotional feelings. Cycling, swimming, writing, sculpture, conducting and so on.

No amount of knowledge about Young's modulus, hardness and quality of copper is as good as the experience of cutting once.

Origami

Body thinking (or ontological thinking) is not limited to its own feelings, but extends to the feelings of other people or things.

Phantom limbs, tools, musical instruments

A brain hole: VR+ body thinking, complete the upgrade from three-dimensional to four-dimensional, for learning and cognition, and the effect is better.

Zen and motorcycle maintenance technology, thinking with pictures and my report on autistic life

Einstein looked at the world from the perspective of light, and engineers empathized with machinery and circuits.

Methods of practicing empathy:

Spatial dimension

Time limit

scale

Training three-dimensional thinking:

How to imagine a four-dimensional cube?

Shape | Dimension | Vertex (zero dimension) | Edge (one dimension) | Angle | Face (two dimension)

- | -

Point |0| 1|0|0|0

Line segment | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0

Plane | 2 | 4 | 4 | 1

Cube |3|8| 12|8|6

Hypercube |4| 16|| 16|

I don't quite agree with the above analysis. I think it should be extrapolated as follows:

Shape | Size | Vertex (zero size) | Edge (one-dimensional) | Face (two-dimensional) | Geometry (three-dimensional) | Hypergeometry (four-dimensional)

- | -

Point | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0

Line segment | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0

Plane |2|4|4| 1|0|0

Cube |3|8| 12|6| 1|0

Hypercube |4| 16|32|24|8| 1

The game broke some serious rules of activities and established its own rules. The game is frivolous, wandering around with temporary interest and curiosity.

Fleming, Feynman and the inventors of dynamic sculpture are all game lovers.

Playing games can exercise and develop any kind of thinking tools while strengthening skill practice.

The power of games is that they reveal the nature of the world and sometimes test the limits of conventional practices by inventing substitutes.

Non-periodic mosaic and dense laying

Play rewards us with a pre-symbolic drive for intuition, emotion and fun, which can breed creative ideas. When the work with rules and restrictions can't get the desired results, and when traditional thoughts, behaviors and subject knowledge become obstacles to our goal, playing as an interesting and risk-free way provides us with a new perspective, so that we can study freely and explore fearlessly. When we create our own world, people, games, rules, toys and riddles, we are also learning knowledge and understanding, and new science and art are born.

transcoding

Associative synaesthesia, deeper understanding

Like emotion, knowledge is also related-Synosia's joint knowledge: the synthesis of knowledge.
