Zero Parallax Article Archive

Categorized article archive for zero parallax

This article archive includes all articles on this website. Articles are assigned to a category to ideally make finding a particular article easier but also to find articles that are related by topic.

Currently, the topic clusters have no hierarchy. Their ordering is currently rather arbitrary. And their may be some overlap.

The Indexing, Memory, Learning category looks at indexing in general, for example, indexing Chinese characters. Why is indexing important? It makes things easier to find. And that relates to memory and learning. When we learn things, we store them in memory in, ideally, easy to find locations. And so one aspect of learning isn't so much the storing, but the indexing so that the contents of memory are easy to withdraw.

The Basic Principles category focuses on principles that can be applied when problem solving or trying to do things efficiently, and effectively. These are things that, among other things, we might take for granted, or that seem so obvious they don't bear thinking about until we run into difficulty.

The Know Mind, Presence, Flow focuses on the idea of flow, which is also known as "no mind" (and which I like to refer to as know mind) and being present. A simple way to think of this state of being is that it and thinking are mutually exclusive. It is possible to be half in the flow, but in the ideal or perfect flow state thinking is absent. The mental machinery in which it runs is turned off.

Closely related to No mind is the category called Decision Making, Taking Action, The Power Of Choice.

This category focuses on the making of choices so that you can get into the flow. If you know what you are trying to do, you can get on with doing it. Hence know mind.

Being effective while in the flow takes training. The category First Principles, Flexible Thinking, Modular Habits is about training effectively and efficiently. It's also about problem solving. And it involves the development of modular habits. A key angle is the application of first principles to break systems down from two points of view in terms of signals as well as components.

Closely related to this two-view application of first principles is the category Two Points Of View, Consciousness, Understanding. The articles here look at how we can apply zero parallax concepts to ourselves as well as the world we are a part of.

Perhaps the real point of all of this is working towards our limitless potential. And that's where an understanding of Limits And Infinity can be helpful.
