Unsurprising but nice to verify
Via Eurekalert, memory of a place or event is divided into types of events.

To further explore this idea, the researchers trained mice to run a square maze on day 1 and then a circular maze on day 2, in which they also received a reward after every fourth lap. They found that the place cells changed their activity, reflecting the new environment. However, the same sets of lap-specific cells were activated during each of the four laps, regardless of the shape of the track. The lap-encoding cells' activity also remained consistent when laps were randomly shortened or lengthened.

"Even in the new spatial locations, cells still maintain their coding for the lap number, suggesting that cells that were coding for a square lap 1 have now been transferred to code for a circular lap 1," Sun says.

In other words, we keep a copy of temporal divisions within an event for comparison with the next time we encounter the same temporal divisions. And we keep a copy of event types for comparison with the next time we encounter this type of event.

Good teachers and good salesmen have always understood these divisions and used them for learning or selling.

Teacher: Now let's remember what happened the last time we pulled the paper out of the machine after printing. Try to do the same thing this time, only a little faster.

Salesman: You know how frustrating it can be when the paper tears just as you're pulling it out. Try our new No-Tear Paper Guard!

It's interesting to see that these different ways of dividing an event have specific innate representations in the hippocampus, with specific ways of comparison against current input.

God thought of everything.

= = = = =

Semi-relevant, mainly because I've been working on it... The Ridhwan clock gives each temporal division a different flavor, more like the way we store and compare them. Later circular or digital clocks don't do the same job.

Here's 3:21PM. The hour boxes have different decorations. Ideally each one would be unique, but I'm lazy so I just alternated them. You can visually feel the proportion of the afternoon that's done. Three risen domes, one dome about halfway risen. The moon in front gives the minutes with a different icon and a different display mode. You can read the numbers if you want. You can see the proportion of sunlight on the upper dial, which serendipitously resembles a hippocampus.



With later circular clocks, each measure is just an angle without endpoints, without From and To. With digital clocks, it's all numbers.

And that brings us back to the current panication. Governments have weaponized our modern LACK OF MEASURING ABILITY. We are totally accustomed to thinking in PURE NUMBERS. We have abandoned all analog and proportional measurements and indications. We never see any variable as a part of the whole, as Ridhwan gives us. We don't even know how to interpret graphs. So governments can feed us all sorts of murderous numbers, leaving out the PROPORTIONS AND CONTEXT. Death toll from Branded Flu is X, but we were never told the death tolls from unbranded flu or common colds, which are often significantly higher than X. All of these death tolls are extremely small parts of the population. The rise in death is supposed to be exponential because EVERYTHING is supposed to be exponential.

The latest piece at Off-Guardian makes this point powerfully, with lots of proportions and context. The authors do an especially good job on the connection between panic and immunity.

Unfortunately the authors are experts in viral pathology, not psychopathology. They make one uninformed prediction:

Lockdown and isolation practices have been taken by many with an amazing amount of ethics, patience, courage, adaptability, inventiveness and humor. As they block the young and active part of society, they may produce along time significant psychosocial and economic harm, risking to destabilize society in a worldwide manner. Rather sooner than later, they will have to be cancelled by governments.

No, they will not have to be cancelled. Governments WANT to kill everyone. That's the ENTIRE AND SOLE PURPOSE of this greatest evil in all of history.

I'll be glad to take back that OBSERVATION if the reality changes, but at the moment it's simply an accurate scientific OBSERVATION.
