I want more people to write down their models for various things. For example, a model I have of the economy is that it’s a bunch of boxes with inputs and outputs that form a sparsely directed graph. The length of the shortest cycle controls things like economic growth and AI takeoff speeds.
Another example is that people have working memory in both their brains and their bodies. When their brain-working-memory is full, information gets stored in their bodies. Techniques like focusing are often useful to extact information stored in body-working-memory.
(Body memory is great. When I worked in a shop and could not find an item by the end of the day, because my eyes refused to scan the whole depth of the shelves, I was told to close my eyes and “just take the thing”. The arm remembers.)
I find your post confusing. Do you believe in body—mind dualism or was it just a manner of speaking? Maybe you mean that “body memory” is an intuitive subconscious process in the brain?

Yes, but I like thinking of it as “body memory” because it is easier to conceptualize.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
Here’s a model I made recently about when a goal is “good”.
