The dimensionality of color is a bit more abstract than the dimensionality of objects in a blueprint.

"Simple but difficult" science concepts are even more abstract, and the need for multiple viewpoints even more pressing.
 
 

Organize what you know
by the ways you understand it

A short list of possible abstract spaces in which to view such concepts:
 

  • visual and spatial
  • information processing; mathematics 
  • physics and chemistry (behavior of matter)
  • organization (biological and psychological)
  • human systems (sociological and ecological)

    •  

     


    Most of what we know is organized by the academic disciplines which generated the knowledge.  We can help organize it in our minds by a second viewpoint: how we use it in day-to-day operations.  That helps us think about it when we need it by weaving it into a fabric.
    art
    law
    psychology
    P.E.
    biology
    chemistry
    physics
    mathematics
    		 needs & goals
    actions
    decisions
    info processing
    perception
    needs & goals

     

    And here's a second woven fabric, made up of a warp and woof of: (1) identifying suspect beliefs and; (2) understanding of common logical errors which lie at the edges of  human comprehension.
    SUSPECT BELIEFS

    astrological prediction
    alien abduction
    recovered memories
    energy is capacity to do work
    mental spoon bending
    the world is anything you say
    convert mass to energy
    guns dont kill people, people kill people


     

     

    		 COMMON ERRORS

    all-some confusion
    inverted implication
    misidentified relevance
    scalar-limited concept
    oversimplified cause
    oversimplified effect
    unnoticed contradiction
    rejected disconfirmation
