14. Intuition

Based on MDT, intuition is associated to the capacity to obtain image

information in a symbolic frame.

That is, when we are in the frame of a symbolic model and there is a problem

without a solution, an image model can be activated automatically on its own

(as we already know). Such image model is able to make a prediction but there

is no proof or reason for it (because an image model generates image-truths!).

There is just a feeling that such information is true. The symbolic model can

use this information to solve its problems. In this case, we speak about

intuition.

The intuition is similar to the extra-sensorial perceptions: we gain some

information without any explanation about the source of it and there is no

proof to support it. The difference is that an illegal model generates the

extra-sensorial information, and a normal image model, which is activated in a

normal symbolic frame, generates the intuition.

Note: everything which is associated to the consciousness is generated by the

local-ZM. In the case of intuition, the ZM is a symbolic one. When an image

model generates information, it is just transmitted to a symbolic local-ZM.

Because the consciousness is generated by the local-ZM, that ZM is not able to

find the source of the information, and the proof for it because it was not

generated by the ZM or by any normal model.
