Nevertheless, our brain is able to model such abstractions just fine. The capacity to represent such non-differentiable structure is the key.

- sharemywin 9y agoBut the representation isn't static. We can learn new symbol systems and adjust them all the time. Plus create rules of thumb to make re-processing easier. and go back and/forth. Think of an elephant. now an Asian elephant walking by a river. your image probably was pretty abstract then got more vivid. Then re-adjusted to add the river. So you went from symbols to a more detailed model like a generative model, but you probably only have had a few examples of elephants to generate from.
