The ability to remember Alaric I of the Visigoths through Rome of Italy because of a connection between the two could be linked through axons from nerve to nerve, and recalling the memory sets of an output fired along to the synapse?

The two memories are connected in actuality, so what if every neuron was connected to every other neuron? What kind of perception or cognition could that trigger? 4D perception?, because that is essentially 3 sides to an equation; being that perception is not just in opposites connected so as to have a hollow cube(imagine the vertices as opposites). But that the superpositions of perception are connected to each other,any point in the middle of the line, representing connections between neurons, making the cube fill completely, like a cramped brain, lol.

But I think that how knowledge works is through cognating relations between instances and there are rules to help, otherwise our processing speed couldn't process every connection.

There must be limits, like opposites causing the connection. But is it knowledge in nature that is in itself just opposites or the way we perceive and process it that limits our perception against superpositions.

It's a large encyclopedia. So if it uses too many big words and you find it boring to read, what do you use to look things up that lacks these two flaws?

A dictionary, its to the point. Readings for losers waste of time. Why don't people do what is more enjoyable like games.

If you think due to the fact the Wikipedia uses too many big words; so therefore, it is boring to read there is no hope for you. Sorry. Game over.

Re: Wikipedia and the interconnectedness of all knowledge

Socrato, this is a philosophy forum. You're hanging out in a community of people who like to read -- and you're reading our words. If you want to play games, go ahead, you don't need to hang out here if you don't like it.

Reading gives me content to talk to others about. What fun is living when you have no content to express because life was wasted bullsh*ting it away?
