Based on this theory and further work, a collection of human types will be
possibly established as a list of numerical paramters. As soon as a person is
considered to belong to a specific type, he/she will know that his/her chances
to socially integrate are big, if he/she will pursue the domain where he/she
has adequate qualities.
The above examples are only as an illustration of the capabilities of MDT in
this field. A fundamental theory as MDT cannot be used directly to solve
specific problems. It creates a basis and a referential system, where specific
problems associated with some sections of the extrenal reality can be solved.
ETA 24: Animals
Bees
A basic characteristic of a bee is its flight beyond its visual limit. It can
fly some hundreds of meters from the beehive, while it can identify objects
only withing a few meters distance. In consequence, the bee must navigate.
Navigation means, in principle, the existence of a map, compass and of a
dynamical system of finding the actual position on the map. If we can make
only suppositions about the compass and the dynamical positioning system, as
to the map, we find ourselves in the action zone of the theory. A map is an
image model. The brain builds simplified models (maps) of the external
reality, marking the position of the beehive and the position of the bee in
flight and updating that all the time.
When a young bee comes out of the beehive, it will start flying around it, in
wider and wider circles, but only on clear days. The explanation based on the
theory is that, in this flight, the bee is calibrating its navigation system.
This means that it calculates its position relative to the beehive and
compares the prediction with external reality, as given by direct view. When
the instruments of navigation are calibrated, it can fly beyond the limit of
direct visibility, and return successfully based on the predictions of its map
model.
Migratory birds
In the case of migratory birds, we have again a navigation problem. This time
the flight is done at thousands of kilometers distance. It is clear that the
migratory birds should have a map added to the navigation instruments. The
birds should have in memory a successful story-type model (map) of the wanted
route. The bird will compare the wanted position (given by the story-type
model) with the real position. The real position could be found e.g. by
following the magnetic field of the Earth, by observing the position of cosmic
bodies (Sun, Moon, and stars). It is clear that any supplementary information
is welcome and added to the story-type model, to sustain a successful
operation. The navigation story-type model has been built based on a previous
successful flight. A bird, which has not this model, could record it, if it is
a member of a flock in which at least one bird has this model.
