How does thinking come into being?

The biggest difference between human and computer lies in logical thinking ability, creative ability and language ability. Now I want to elaborate on these three points. Because the human brain is one of the most complex structures known so far, its working principle and operation mode are still unknown. I just put forward some personal views and opinions here. First, logical thinking ability First, logical thinking ability. What is logical thinking ability? Logical thinking ability refers to the ability to think correctly and reasonably. That is, the ability to observe, compare, analyze, synthesize, abstract, summarize, judge and reason things, and the ability to express one's thinking process accurately and methodically by using scientific logical methods. I think it has something to do with the structure of the brain. Because the brain is composed of many neurons and glial cells, and the division of labor is different, you can look it up on Baidu. Neurons have many processes and transmit information to each other (synaptic transmission and gap transmission). When the computer is working, it processes and exchanges information in an orderly way, and the movement of current is directional or orderly. And I think the nerve transmission and processing in the human brain is disordered, which can be said to be chaotic. If there is complete chaos, then this person is a mental derangement (no contempt). Some of these chaotic neural operations are orderly, and these orderly neuronal operations should be the part we are thinking about and using. A child's neuron operation should be the most chaotic. Sometimes we say things like "children talk nonsense", which means that children are very creative. They always have some novel and strange ideas that adults can't reach. Moreover, children's language skills are generally excellent, and many classic words can be produced with a limited number of phrases they have mastered. Why? This is the result of disorder of information transmission and combination of children's neurons. But there are many information combinations of neurons. What do people rely on for screening? In my opinion, there should be a processing mechanism in the human brain, which is responsible for processing information. If it is not inconsistent with the existing logical information, it will be recognized as valid information by the system, otherwise it will be automatically deleted. The "effective information" left behind will "emerge" in the "mind" as the idea of being a man. Next, the brain will make a judgment according to the situation (information sent back by eyes, ears, etc.). ) and memory, decide whether to say or write. In the operation of the human brain, memory should be an extremely important part, and people without memory are even worse than idiots (no memory here means no information reserves in the brain). But the fact is that human DNA stores a lot of existing information, which was accumulated by our ancestors from generation to generation. -DNA can be used for storage, which is the latest scientific research achievement. A nation's behavior and way of thinking are very similar, which may be the genetic effect of DNA memory. People judge the "thoughts" of things and nervous tissues according to their memories. And memory comes not only from the inheritance and variation of DNA, but also from the accumulation of the day after tomorrow, which can be called "experience"! In life, children's behavior is generally frank and direct, because they don't have much acquired memory accumulation, while the elderly are generally more cautious and do things in an orderly way, which is the result of memory domination. Acquired memories are generally stored in DNA, which can explain why the IQ of human beings is higher from generation to generation. However, human storage is not entirely on DNA, but may be stored through the arrangement, combination and transmission of some nerve cells, so sometimes people will "forget" because these arrangements and combinations are too random. With the passage of time and abandonment, these combinations may be "forgotten" or disrupted, or the death of brain cells may lead to forgetting. But if these permutations and combinations are very "strong", people will find it hard to forget, such as ① things to review every day-eating, sleeping, and so on; ② Information transmitted by muscles, because the signals generated by muscle movements are very strong. Under normal circumstances, nerve cells will not disturb this specific arrangement, which is why once people learn to ride bicycles, they will never forget it. Of course, it is not easy to learn. ③ Childhood information. Because there are not many "memories" in childhood, the arrangement of neurons will not be greatly disturbed, so its combination is not easy to "forget". This is why old people remember their youth, but forget the recent events. After being strongly stimulated, the natural brain reacts extremely strongly, and this memory is not easy to forget. In addition, according to the latest scientific research results (not necessarily accurate), human memory may be related to a structure called "protein Bridge", so I don't need to introduce it here.

After talking about the judgment function of memory to the information that dominates the nerve tissue, let's go back to the nerve. Nerve produces some laws of directional movement during individual development. A community of nerve cells is undergoing some fixed and orderly transmission and organization, and after the so-called "knowledge has been opened", a reasonable logical thinking is formed. For example, a newborn child doesn't know "1+ 1=?" First of all, he doesn't know what each character stands for. Secondly, he doesn't know how to process and calculate this information. It was not until he learned and remembered the meaning of the string that he was able to input the correct information. Secondly, neurons need to move in an orderly way to deal with this problem. Through teaching and training, his nerve cells formed the ability of orderly arrangement, transmission and organization through stimulation. This process should be said to be a "mechanical learning" process, that is, "rote learning", which is meaningless. Just write "1+ 1=2". In this way, the next time he encounters the same information input, the nerve cells will transmit according to a certain "program" and draw the conclusion of "2". It may also be the credit of "image memory". Visualizing the problem, that is, transforming logical signals into image signals, is also helpful to deal with the problem. In fact, mathematical calculation is a "programming" process. We write down the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within ten. No matter how big the number is, it can be reduced to less than ten operations, and more problems can be solved by still using nerve cells for conduction processing. Judging from the structure of the human brain, people's operation speed should be much faster than that of computers, but why not? In my opinion, it's not that the transmission rate of nerve cells is not enough, but that there is something wrong with the input mechanism, organization and screening mechanism, because the transmission ability of nerve cells is very strong, much stronger than that of computers, and organs such as human eyes can only input extremely limited information to the brain at a specified time, which hinders the next processing. Computers can transmit large-capacity information through USB and network broadband. Next, there are organizations and screening institutions, because human nerve cells are chaotic and difficult to organize effectively, and even if the corresponding nerve cells are organized, it is difficult to screen out quickly (because the results should be checked and compared with memory). And some extraordinary people (I think everyone has heard of it) can do quick calculations instead of under the computer. I don't think these people can calculate faster than ordinary people, but their brain neurons are more effective in organizing and screening than ordinary people. After arithmetic, let's talk about people's ability to analyze problems. I wonder if you found those meanings and analysis particularly difficult to recite when you first started studying political history? But later, I thought it should be easier to learn these concepts, and I have certain analytical ability, so I can comprehensively analyze problems. Why is this? Because through memory, our neurons produce a series of rules of arrangement, combination and transmission. After we input specific information, these neurons will be arranged and combined in a certain way after being stimulated, thus producing the results of "theoretical analysis" we need. In the same way, people carry things on their backs. Second, creative ability The following is creative ability. Why do people create? This is also the biggest difference between people and computers. According to the above analysis, this problem is much simpler. Because of the disorientation and irregular movement of neurons. Resulting in a large amount of information. For example, we should water the flowers, but we forget that sometimes it will suddenly remind us that the brain transmits random combinations according to some remaining arrangements related to watering the flowers, which just extracts information about this matter, and we also "suddenly remember". Of course, this combination may also be environmentally stimulating. When we store some information, we often need to use other information. When we need to create, we need to use the connection between information to operate. When we first started to learn composition, we learned "one-sentence composition", and a composition had only one sentence. Because at that time, our overall grasp ability was not strong, the amount of information storage was too small, and the connection between information was still unclear, and it remained at a simple level. Therefore, it is impossible to grasp and conceive a long article as a whole, and it is easy to "digress". Later, we can write longer because we have accumulated a certain amount. When writing, start to communicate with all sides through a central idea. At this time, the brain nerve cells are stimulated by relevant information (memory), arranged and combined in a disorderly way, and then effectively extracted by the filter. The information related to the center is extracted and further given to nerve cells, which can be freely combined and arranged according to the existing information in this framework. Finally, organize the information into language and summarize it into articles. And language skills, which we will discuss in detail below. Generally speaking, creation should be such a process. For the specific situation, we can combine the specific analysis discussed above. Some "nonsense" such as "soldiers who don't want to be cooks are not good tailors." The first time you see this sentence, you may laugh. But why is this? Because this sentence is obviously illogical, that is, the information he provides has nothing to do with it, which makes people feel puzzled and laugh (see Why People Laugh). This also explains the mechanism of human creation and thinking. They are arranged and combined according to a certain memory, that is, logic and semi-order. The person who wrote this sentence must have some kind of fault or abnormality in his screening device, thus "thinking" something unexpected to ordinary people, which is also the result of the disorderly arrangement and organization of brain cells. Think about it, jokes are often unexpected and make people laugh, because the information provided by jokes is often a fixed arrangement of some simple information that people have ingrained. Now changing it will still have the effect of language and make people laugh. And when we come into contact with new knowledge, especially when the teacher talks about a lot of new knowledge in a short time, will we laugh (think carefully)? The reason should be the same. Third, language ability, the ability of network and software to translate languages, I think everyone knows something about it! Some of them are simply unsightly. This is because computers have no language ability. Some scientists say that some animals have language ability, which I think is not incorrect strictly. Because those animals only know some simple words and information, such as "enemies" and "food", they have not yet formed a perfect expression and statement system. This is not a language ability. Human language ability is very complicated, and I can only briefly talk about my own views on its principle here. Language needs to be symbolic, regular and logical. In other words, when we first learn a language, we need to remember it through some features, such as desk lamps, pencils and so on. Then there is regularity, nouns indicate things or concepts, verbs indicate actions, adjectives play a decorative role and so on. Finally, logic. In a word, it is necessary to clarify the performer, event and receiver of an action. Or to express your views on something, you need to describe your thoughts and the characteristics of this matter. They are combined according to a certain rule, which is the fixed movement pattern of brain cells. For example, the sentence "I am human" is awkward if I am human, but it is expressed in Japanese and Korean. There are fixed restrictions on what words should be associated with what words. When brain cells produce information, those that meet this limit will be screened out, and those that do not will be eliminated. Sometimes we don't notice ourselves, but it is true that our collocation of different words is still very clear in the "subconscious". Different languages have different collocation methods, and computers don't understand the different collocation methods between different languages and the collocation order of generated languages, which leads to some word order confusion. As for the specific meaning of language, people also have a complete understanding system. For example, no one knows the exact meaning of the word "long", but if we say "grow up", we will know what the speaker means. And "I like apples." People all know that "apple" means apple, if we say "the apple of the eye". "Apple" has become the meaning of "Apple" for primary school students. In the Google translation tool, apple is still translated into Apple. But in Baidu translation, it is very appropriate to translate it into "baby". But translation tools can translate correctly according to fixed sentence patterns. What is the working mechanism of people? I think people's mastery of language lies in their ability to understand. A person can memorize all his possible translation meanings and understand them in combination with sentences until they can be translated. Ok, how to judge this "translator"? I think people can get effective information from it. Take apples for example. If translated into apple, the sentence means "the apple of your eye". Combined with memory, there can be no apples in your eyes. In other words, there is no fixed connection between eyes and apples, so people abandon it and replace it with pupils. If there is a connection, people will translate it correctly. In language, the connection between the components in any so-called sentence is always visible, so nerve cells do the same tissue transmission repeatedly, forming a fixed transmission order, that is, memory. If it does not conform to this memory combination, the brain will reject it, and people will gradually accept it unless they input the correct information and arrange it in this order repeatedly, which becomes the mechanism for people to learn foreign languages and classical Chinese. Flexible use of parts of speech is very common in classical Chinese. When reading, if the original translation does not conform to the inherent language structure in the brain, people will do random processing, and once a processing conforms to the daily language habits, it will be adopted by the brain-of course, this may be wrong. So we often make such mistakes when we first learn classical Chinese. Once you know this, you will write down the flexible use of parts of speech and use it like memorizing different meanings of words. This should explain some problems about thinking in our daily life. There are still some problems to be discussed. Please give me your advice, and I will gradually improve it. Your criticisms and suggestions are welcome.
