Building constructs: within an area link all ideas as much as possible (biology)
Building models: Simplify concepts—abstract from them to create something that you can use (evolution by natural selection)
Highways: Linking constructs (biology to economics trough evolutionary economics)
Acquire. Test—Have I seen/listened to the idea before?
Understand. Test—Do I get (at a surface level) what this idea means?
Explore. Test—Do I understand where this idea comes from, what it is related to and what outside ideas can be connected with it?
Debug. Test—Have I removed inappropriate links between this idea and others?Have I removed false conclusions based on connections that donít actually exist?
Apply. Test—Have I used this idea in my practical life?
A) Acquiring Ideas
1) Speed Reading
2) Flow-Based Notetaking
B) Linking Ideas : FOR DIFFICULT OR CRITICAL INFORMATION
1) Metaphor—used to relate unfamiliar to familiar ideas. (process: ask for it. take the first that comes. test it)
2) Visceralization—used to translate information to preferred format (process: identify concept, pick mental image, does it move trough time or is statis?, add more sensations and emotional impacts to your image)
3) Diagraming
C) Handling the Arbitrary
1) Linking
2) Pegging
3) Information Compression → Notes compression (write down major ideas and all related ideas. rewrite)
D) Extending Ideas
1) Practical Usage—Look for ways to applu ideas
2) Model Debugging—typos are not bugs, use very different questions to do a shotgun debug, spread practice times out
3) Project-Based Learning − 1-3 month project that uses knowledge you want and don’t have
