Memory
records need to be structured for rapid access, be malleable
and non brittle. They need to conform more to the metaphor
of imagery than numbers. A single digit error can easily
destroy a typical data object, whereas with upwards of 90% image
loss or error; effective object recognition can still
remain.This is unprecedented in traditional
database structures In fact, the human brain can actually
repair faulty data sets to re-create the original.
Consider
the recognition of poor handwriting. Or a low resolution,
black and white photocopy of a face, which can be recreated
at high resolution by a skilled artist This is done by instantiating the
degraded 2D bitmap image to a high resolution 3D generic
human head simulation - constructed in the artists own
mind. The black dots on the photocopy face are instantiated
as crystal clear human eyes from simple reality exposure
precedent from the artists past - i.e. seeing actual
human beings, and thus training his 3D model representations
from reality.
Unique photocopy-hinted features
are then morphed onto the generic architypal form, which
is subsequently used as a reference for the artists
hands to lay down a new render plane, that is, to paint
a perfect reconstructed image There is an important question
regarding the structure of memory traces stored by the
human brain. Is there any chance the records
exist primarily as 2D renders planes direct from the
modalities - time linked to describe a behavior chain
- similar to the way film frames can hold an animation
scene.
One proposed method to test these
theories is to generate simple, but unfamiliar 3D models. Present them to volunteer subjects
as manipulatable 3D forms within a web interface. One set of subjects will be restricted
from seeing a particular perspective, but which can
be inferred from the remaining information. The other
group has access to the complete model Both groups are then tested to
see the speed and ability to recognise the missing perspective
as part of the model.
