Thought Process
Computer Programming: All knowledge, knowing, at least logical knowledge is but a series of “If – Then” assertions. “If” is almost always the result of “Then” of one or more antecedents. Computer programming taught me logic; so the metaphors seem reasonable. Assertions such as “squirrels are mammals” sit atop a network of overlapping hierarchies (of “depth” of IF conditionals) of Boolean conditions: e.g. IF oxygen, carbon and hydrogen mix and IF in the right proportions at just and IF the right temperature, THEN heat will be produced; and IF mammals maintain an approximate above ambient temperature THEN they are alive; and a gagillion other conditionals we just take for granted. We must or we would never be able to think. |
