thinking

The linearity of human communication is a rather frustrating limitation on our ability to share and exchange thoughts and ideas.  Indeed, this form with which we progress through thoughts in our own minds is an inherent limitation on our ability to build upon existing thought paradigms and improve the social, economic, scientific, spiritual, political, and other systems used and depended on by all humankind.

Further examination of the limiting properties of linearity is a frustrating exercise in itself.  It is also interesting to be aware of the recognition of such a limitation while still being bound by it.  Nonetheless, I suspect useful insight may be gained by analysis of such.

I shall contrast linearity with other forms of development in order to produce properties that can be referenced for examination.  It's an interesting endeavor, as there are multiple ways to proceed.  I could consider various incarnations of tree structures, such that each node is a parent of a number of children.  There could be a fixed number of children for each node, or a variable number.  The variable number could have constraints dependent on any abstract thing.

It seems the definition of thoughts/ideas should be refined to allow more complex structures to encapsulate them.  Further, this realization leads me to the idea that such representations of thoughts could then be digitized and transferred between entities with great efficiency, far surpassing real-time human capability.  Eek, I fear any approach on an artificial intelligence.  Perhaps I should calm this thought train for now and allow the implications to percolate in my subconsciousness.
