Unveiling the Brain's Black Box: Experimental Methods and Layered Thinking
This article outlines an experimental research approach that treats the brain as a black box, introduces a mathematical modeling perspective, explains hierarchical thinking with parallel and successive ideas, and presents reduction theory as a formalization of analogical reasoning.
Experience—experimental research method. The brain is likened to a black box; carefully selected experiences are input, learning outcomes are compared, and conclusions are inductively summarized.
Mathematical model.
Main idea: hierarchical thinking. Ideas that arise simultaneously are called parallel ideas; ideas that supplement parallel ideas constitute the next layer of thought.
Reduction theory. Formalization of analogical thinking.
