Making sense of understanding (994 words) |
 | What you've achieved is what we might call "experimental" understanding, which is to say a kind of understanding which results from having an hypothesis which predicts observations yet to be made and then making those observations to see whether your prediction holds or not. |
| Yeah, well, to explore that one, you'll need to go through the Serendip's third door, where we'll explore the meaning of "rational" understandings, just as we are here that of "experimental" understandings, and did earlier that of "intuitive" understandings. |
| By making an "intuitive" understanding conscious, one not only makes it explicit and communicable to others, one also achieves the capability to consider it to be "wrong", by virtue of imagining alternative understandings. |
