Networks of mental objects
==Networks of mental objects==
===Mental objects networks===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 fruitas fruits. People eat apples, and also so do 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. These networks of mental objects help us explain and predict and we rely on our networks to find our ways in the world. I will call these networks mental objects networks or [[MON]]. These MONs need to accurate enough to be able to help us make efficient decision on how to satisfy our needs and to be flexible enough to adjust to new unpredicted events.===Social Objects Network===Every one of us has different MON which makes different predictions about our surrounding. So if we want to work together with other people, we have to synchronize at least the domains in the network on which we want to work together. To be able to do that, we need to have references to other people's MON. Language was developed to help with this task. By pointing to specific object and calling their names, parents teach their babies to identify objects by their name. When babies grow and can response and call objects by their name, they also point objects and are getting non-linguistically conformation signs that they did all right. By this method people start to use language and discussion as a tool to create MONs that describes the surrounding in a similar fashion. When people can correspond in a fashion which helps them explain and predict events with a good proximity to each other, a social objects network is created (also abbreviated as [[SON]]).==Creativity and Social Object Networks==
