    “The brain sculpts itself according to it’s environment. The brain competes for neural efficiency and space.”


    -On world View-

    My world view, my framework, stems from early examples set by people and experiences with which I had the closest proximity and connection at an early age, the earliest of which I can not remember. As I grew, the amount and magnitude of these connections expanded and contracted allowing unconscious and conscience measure and calibration of the framework to take place. The objects, the people, the structure, the environment, the time, the intensivities, the extensivities and the possibilities push back and forth on one another at varying degrees and rates to form experiences. Gaining experience demands a processes of perception and interpreting events and taking in useful information to develop the framework. Over time the framework becomes robust and full of knowledge that is accessible through the use of “working memory” , pulling up an old conjured image from the past and asking “Is there anything useful here, is this a catalyst?”.

    -In General-

    The framework I use to look upon and see the world is rooted in a wonder of origin and specificity. I like to try to visualize an image of connection between myself, what is in front of me and it’s past and my past. I do this in order to relate and contextualize the present. I speculate about the process of becoming and an alternate but parallel path. I try to imagine what I do not know about a place or a thing, I try to remember what did not happen. I do this in effort to visualize a future.

    The key to developing a positive and productive world view could possible lie in the ability to attain a balance point between storing the knowledge gained through experience and transformation while still being able to access it and the ability to see things newly as if you are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and feeling for the first time.
    The ability to have at the ready a vast and accessible bank of knowledge, information and experience separate from the devices of perception and interpretation, allowing these devices to remain as plastic as they were in the infinite neurological landscape that is the primary repertoire of a child.
