Can any one explain what repetitive thought or circular reasoning has to do with knowledge?

Question

First you see the thing, and classify it with a name. This is the first impression. Now you can see the thing again and have a stimulated concept of the thing you see. What is going on? Is the thing you first see, some how generating a connection between the form and the impression. I am struggling to know how it is knowledge is based on repetitive thought, and what it means for knowing. Does the second impression some how trigger the first concept?

Answer 1

nothing, its to do with need



all we know is the body we have is limited to 'touch/see' things as it does but not the way they actually might be, so we just have our views, or others views, to go on, but gladly thats why we have science and people who look for the facts

the problem s when someone then refuses to accept the facts and cant come out of their need for circular reasoning

Answer 2

I agree with Kyle, but there is something else going on, as well. The first impression is the fast, immediate concept ...and then the brain goes deeper into assimilation and analysis while sleeping...Over time, the result of the brain's processing provides another result or partial concept...and this continues on and on...The theory can be proven with children: You can describe a concept to a child, even if the concept is beyond his immediate knowledge and he will create a mental picture, even though the picture is incorrect...The picture then fades from consciousness..BUT later, when the information is placed before him again, such as at the right developmental stage, he will understand it without explanation. This means that the brain is making connections to a memory bank and the concepts have already been connected without his conscious knowledge! This shows that we think at different levels of consciousness. I did these experiments with children of others and my own, while teaching them. Most likely, it is new neural pathways being built connecting information pods or clouds, if you like this better...

Answer 3

Memory is a complex of associations. When you see something it's associated with the other things going through your head. When you see it again that previous association is accessed and changed to be associated with the current situation. All of these various links make up our memory and greatly impact most of our brain's activity. It changes how you think, act, and feel. The more often something is accessed the more it becomes associated with other things and the more important it becomes in your mind. Meaning the more you think about or observe something, the less likely you are to forget it. This also helps make it simpler for us to recognize patterns and thus to form logical understandings of things. However, it also creates a strong subjective view since we'll have different things naturally associated based on who's thinking about the idea.

Answer 4

Not sure what you are trying to establish.



Abstractly you have linear recursion and non-linear recursion (say for example cyclic or fractal relations)...but...I am having difficulty grasping what formal means you may be referring to.

Answer 5

This also has something to do with quantum physics as well.
