But not all imaginary mental objects are observable, for instance God is an imaginary mental object that can explain many unexplained phenomena, and can let us avoid the need for critical thinking when our predictions fail. It can explain how life evolved, or why some people suffer and other thrive. Yet no one has ever been able to show it directly to other people. The same is true to the force of gravity. We have never seen the force of gravity. The difference between the imaginary mental object of God and that of force of gravity, is that the first is most unpredictable and therefore cannot be checked by other people or by ourselves (we can only believe God exists, but we cannot verify its existence), and the later can be checked by everyone, by checking its affect on sensory mental objects. We can all see if the stone which I'll drop in a minute will fall to the ground, according to the properties of the law of gravitation.
 
==Networks of mental objects==
Mental objects, whether sensory or imaginary are connected to each other by networks of inductive links (or neurons). Apple has its basic properties but it has also more connected properties. It is growing on trees and it has many properties of fruits so apples are considered a fruit. People eat apples, and also monkeys and flies. Flies lay eggs, and have wings. Birds also have wings and so do airplanes (but they have constant wings and the flies have moving wings). All of the above has mass and therefore they are influenced by the force of gravity. Mental are connected to each other in many different links. And through these links we make deduction on the world that surround us, or even on our inner world.
