That is, there is no guarantee that all the entities of a given external
reality are discovered, there is no guarantee that the right YMs are
associated with these entities and so on. The stability of a model is just a
guarantee that all the available information is correlated in the right way.
There is another class of basic problems associated with the changes in a
model. If a model has to be changed, sometimes there are small chances to do
that. In fact, the only possibility is to make a new model from scratch, using
or not elements and relations from the old model. This activity could be
sometimes so complex that it can exceed the technical capacity of the brain.
Indeed, a new model must be accepted by the whole structure of models. That
is, any other model of the structure must accept any prediction of the new
model, so that the new structure is stable.
If the new model is good in interaction with the external reality but the
structure of the models is not good enough, then some other models of the
structure have to be changed too. As I said, this process can exceed the
brain's technical capacity of processing. This can be considered as a design
deficiency too.
This explains a lot of situations in common life, when logical arguments or
facts taken from external reality cannot change wrong models some people have.
As we know, a stable model is a model which correlates in a right way all the
available information. But, there is no guarantee that we gain enough
information to make the right model. This basic deficiency is attenuated by
the fact that there is a structure of models. The structure of models helps a
lot when we interact with a new external reality because it can make
predictions based on the previous interaction with other external realities.
On the other hand, the structure of models is like a brake for evolution if
the structure has problems.
Example: The astronomer Copernicus made a model of the Universe based on the
idea that the Sun is the center of the Universe, not Earth, as everybody knew
at the time. Around the year 1543, very few persons were able to change the
whole structure of models, based on this new model.
We continue with other basic problems and features.
In the normal activity of the brain, any ZM-model has full access to any model
of the brain. That is, a ZM model can correlate information from many M-type
models and from any other ZM of the brain. This is true for any ZM of the
brain.
In the complex interaction between a brain and the external reality, there is
a single ZM at a time, controlling that being. This ZM is called a local-ZM or
an active-ZM. A ZM can be changed to another in a dynamical way, so that the
being does many activities in time-sharing.
