THE HUMAN BRAIN (Introduction)

The basic difference between the animal brain and human brain is the capacity

of the human brain to make and operate symbolic models. The animals are not

able in any way or form to make and operate symbolic models.

We already analyzed how a human or animal brain interacts with an image to

make an image-model. For the symbolic models the interaction is different.

A symbolic model, as we know, uses as elements letters, words or numbers. When

a human brain interacts with such elements, the M-models will contain such

elements as specialized YM-models. Such YM-models contain all the shapes of

the letters, for instance. It is not necessary to discover the elements,

because they are there in an explicit way.

All the symbolic elements are contained in a symbolic model called General

Communication Language (GCL). There is a spoken language and a written

language, as directly interacting symbolic models. This is true only for

cultural zones which use alphabets. There is a specific application which

treats this problem.

For a given written text, we have all the elements and all the relations

between the elements, in an explicit way, as words. Usually, the elements are

the nouns and the relations between them are the verbs. Any sentence is a

symbolic model, for instance.

Example: the sentence: "I go home" has two elements "I" and "home" and a

relation between the elements as "go".

The stability of the symbolic models is based on logic. When a symbolic model

is stable we call it a logical model. A logical (stable) model can be

understood by anybody who can make and operate symbolic models.

Sometimes there is a correspondence between image-models and symbolic-models

as in the following example.

Example: Let's analyze the sentence "An apple falls from an apple-tree". We

have two elements and a relation between them. On the other hand, we can make

an image-model that describes the same situation: an apple falls from an

apple-tree.

So, the logic could have been born in the process of translation from an image

model to a symbolic model (when the translation is possible). As an image-

model is stable based on laws of harmony, a symbolic model is stable based on

the laws of logic.

Here we have in an implicit way the definitions of harmony and logic, as the

rules and methods to ensure the stability of an image-model (harmony) or a

symbolic-model (logic). An implicit definition means that we are able to

recognize the effect of harmony or logic in a structure of data.
