In psychology there's this concept called body mirroring. Monkeys do it, as does humans. It's the idea that the subordinate ape tends to mirror the posture of the dominant one. Mental models are obviously a useful tool, but I always found it funny that people who write posts about it keep reusing the phrase "latticework", as if it has any useful meaning, instead of just removing it to make the content more concise. I think of it as a linguistic version of body mirroring.
- MarkMc 8y agoI disagree with the idea that 'latticework' has no useful meaning. Here's the way Munger uses the term: You've got to have models in your head. And you've got to array your experience both vicarious and direct on this latticework of models. You may have noticed students who just try to remember and pound back what is remembered. Well, they fail in school and in life. You've got to hang experience on a latticework of models in your head. To me, 'latticework of models' onto which one hooks examples and personal experience is a rather neat analogy.
