Explaining the Mechanisms of Knowledge
====Spesific Phenomena====
I will also assume that the phenomena can be destinguished into specific phenomena. That there are specific smells (Smell<sub>n</sub>; sound<sub>n</sub> etc.). I will call it SP.
====Memory====
I will aslo assume that the mind can store past specific phenomena SPs for a while.
====Similarity====
In the memory when a combination of two or more SPs reoccurs, a connection in the memory is formed. For instance, if a smell<sub>x</sub> occur with specific sound<sub>y</sub>, and this combination reoccur several time while the still in memory, then the memory might assume that the combination is eminent. Therefore always, when smell<sub>x</sub> appear; also sound<sub>y</sub> appear. This will be called induction, because from some limited set of co-occurrence, the mind will assume that this co-occurrence will always reoccur.
 
The mind assume similarity between sequential phenomena or sensory inputs when the mind find that a set of phenomena has, by the way it precives, resmblance to other set of phenomena, all ready stored in his memory. We then can say that there were some order in phenomena, that was resamble to other order in the phenomena.
