The first major mathematical calculation, which is augmented by information, as babies, is the taking of our first step. The math and physics the brain must use to control what is essentially a fall is massive for such a young being. But, as noted by others, our minds are always taking in information. It is, as we get older, more of our choice in what we take in and what we find as "good" information. I found that when my God Daughter, now 21, was but 4, she wanted to sit on my shoulders and walk around outside so she could feel the different colors on the signs. It makes so much sense, her mind was looking for more information to better understand what she saw. Though, when she did not feel a difference between the red on the stop sign and the yellow of the yield sign, her mind took in more information and she moved on to the shapes of the signs. Yes, as was said, our minds are always taking things in and working with them to see how they fit with our understanding of the world we find ourselves in. And, for me, and for my God Daughter, I pray the day never comes when I am not interested in information of any form.
