When it comes to the accurate interpretation of the world, experience is really the key. Through experience we notice, construct, and validate our abstract schemas, patterns, and ideas about the surrounding reality. Thus we confirm that they predict relevant phenomena with a consistent and acceptable accuracy, and if they don’t, we adjust them. Later observations and schemas are built upon the previous experience. This sequence is repeated many times, and hopefully, the world becomes a more clear place in the process.

Anyone can do this, and everyone does it whether or not they realize it. Human brain is pre-conditioned to the process of observation, pattern recognition, and information processing due to the form of a phylogenic inertia. With discipline, however, the quality of this process improves: less fallacies, less false categories, more accurate schemas, and a richer web of interconnections between the ideas. After all, if you cut vegetables very often, after a long time you will be able to cut them very thin very fast without even thinking about it. Cognitive processes are no different.

I dedicated many years to the study of technical fields out of pure fascination. As a consequence, I absorbed a rich set of mathematical, physical , and engineering methods and cognitive tools for studying the surrounding world. Growing up in an authoritarian country within a society that is undergoing swift economical, technological, and cultural transitions, I was also losing trust in the external organizational and value structures. I sought an independent understanding of the world at that time. When you throw all your vegetables (after you cut them) in a single boiling pot, all the rich flavors and aromas start mixing and interacting with each other to produce a nutritious soup. Something similar was happening in my brain. I applied my mathematical discipline, a physical reductionist approach, and an engineering approach to studying complex systems to my study of human behavior and human societies. I then started noticing patterns!

There are many of these patterns and approaches to system analysis that together form an interpretation framework of our shared reality. Be the judge of the accuracy of this framework, by learning it, making predictions using it, and validating or disproving it based on the proximity of your predictions and the reality. Again, these patterns are just there, you can see them if you know where to look. I just happened to notice them because I mess around with many complex electric systems quite a bit. I am trained to look at things on many levels of abstraction using methods that many generations of talented mathematicians, physicists, and engineers before me developed and perfected. Allow me to guide your attention through these patterns, methods, and ideas, so we can have a shared frame of interpretation of the surrounding world.

I am convinced that having a common frame of reference in a broader society will foster clearer communication and collaboration to better organize our shared reality. Such concepts as culture, communication, empathy, tradition and community organically derive from this framework and their values are highlighted in due proportion. This framework also makes a case for a triunal societal organization consisting of a strong community, a free market, and a small government, where the three elements are complementing and balancing each other.
