@norvid_studies Aliexpress blocked searches for eames cause they had those chairs for 200 and didn't want to get shut down. The chairs are still there if you know how to find them, probably womb chairs too
@Hermit_Thrush Quickly becomes an issue of definitions but an example is that when you see a handful of coins on the ground, your visual cortex tells you instantly that there are 3 or 5 or such but with more you use higher order thinking to 'count' maybe by ones or maybe clusters of 3s etc
@Hermit_Thrush This is all very shorthand to fit and rather abstract, I don't think there's much disagreement here. But computationally the brain is shortcutting lots of things that are computationally intensive for a cpu or mathematician
@Hermit_Thrush Yes but the surface of the jigsaw cut doesn't just represent a numerical value, +4, it has chirality and orientation and color and texture that mean it won't just snap to any -4. All of course representable by numbers but I don't process the data value of red when solving puzzle
@Hermit_Thrush If the variables condired have more of the relevant data baked in it could be more like fitting together jigsaw pieces than integrating numbers
@Hermit_Thrush Yes better at the one thing, not applicable to any other math. When you try to explain ballistics mathematically you end up doing a lot of calculations that require work but when you throw a ball the universe isn't calculating anything...
@Hermit_Thrush Still an incredible achievement but a different one than the raw computation power required to solve the same problem with general tools
@Hermit_Thrush Math is a series of generalizable symbols that can express certain physical factors that can be used to calculate motion inertia windspeed but the brain is likely using a non generalizable transmutation of those elements that is condensed and largely precalculated for outcomes
