To be complex, one must first be simple. Because, unless it’s simple, it’s hard to get complicated. Every complex problem is a combination of simple problems. People tend to think that intelligence is complex. However, in hindsight, memory is just a continuation and connection of simplicity made up of thoughtful ingredients. Still, it is burdensome and complicated to find simplicity in an already complex system. Therefore, the pursuit of simplicity is a burdensome decision, one that requires a willingness to understand this complexity first. Growing up in the mind means taking on this burden and being willing to take on the challenge of finding simplicity in a formally complex system. It’s like a child taking their first steps, trying to get up while risking falling with their whole body. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A Tiny Crevice. In other words, it is also called an affordance , permissiveness , or tolerance . A 5mm hole and a 5mm rod don’t fit perfectly together. If you hit it with a hammer, the rod might go into the hole, but only by forcing it. If they are the same size, they don’t really fit. There needs to be a slight gap to ensure a proper fit, which is known as ‘ engineering tolerance .’ In this world, 5mm exists only as a concept and doesn’t truly confirm its existence. For some, ‘tolerance’ might be seen as a mistake or imperfection, but for others, it’s a principle of life that drives the world and should be natural. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
