Includes only formulated ideas, i.e. Questions, Hypotheses, Predictions, and Observations
Hypothesis
Formulating inquiry thoughts into observations, hypotheses, and predictions enables learning.
Thanks to the intrinsic set of fixed relationships between them, this formalization provides a helpful structure to our inquiry. It enables the learning cycle of observations -> hypotheses -> predictions -> correct with observations. This can be argued for [philosophically](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/W2wRBi5mSeGueEYevUjMzw) and [neuroscientifically](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/M4p8C9lOTRu8ipf5zGtEJA).

Digitalized minds
A system can be created to let users record their inquiry thoughts/ideas as observations, hypotheses, and predictions (OH&P). Thanks to the intrinsic structure, the system can digitalize these thoughts/ideas with auto connections and visualization, thus providing an automatic way to organize these thoughts/ideas. We can call this digitalized mind. The digitalized mind makes thoughts/ideas easier to consume, assess and generate new insights.

Collective digitalized mind
A system that lets users record their inquiry thoughts/ideas as observations, hypotheses, and predictions (OH&P) can provide a new mode of communication and collaboration between users - they can structurally connect their atomic OH&P directly to other users' OH&P. ([This is challenging](https://www.themind.net/observations/4fcVuFGoTEa43ez-xhSAsg) when thoughts/ideas are organized in the usual narrative structure, such as books, lectures, and talks). Such a system that connects atomic ideas and thoughts between users might achieve a **digitalized collective mind**. Digitalized mind means all ideas/thoughts are digitalized, collective meaning that these ideas/thoughts are contributed by multiple users and digitally connected to each other.

Collective digitalized mind does not automatically enable collective intelligence
Collective digitalized mind, i.e. digitalized and connected thoughts/ideas from multiple users by itself, may not automatically achieve collective intelligence (the intelligent capabilities of solving problems collectively). If all thoughts and ideas are given equal weight and importance in the collective mind, it may be too swamped with them and fail to be coherent or useful.

Aggregation is needed to enable collective intelligence in digitalized collective mind.
Aggregation of opinions over the thoughts and ideas in a digitalized collective mind to give them different weights and importance might be the way to achieve CI in DCM.

By Formulating into OHP, we can enforce robust logic relationships
This affords us a paradigm based on logic which brings clarity and simplicity.

The inquiry of knowledge in general should be treated the same way as the scientific inquiry.
The scientific process being [the observation-hypotheses-prediction](https://www.themind.net/observations/DVaW4GpQQsqfqcidS2Aivw) process.
Based on
Modern scientific research since Bacon follows the hypothetico-deductive process.
Although the definition of "hypothesis" is narrower in science - a hypothesis in science usually refers to a theory that explains **how** things work. Propositions such as "It's okay to eat bruised apple" or "Mr. Huckabee is a bad politician." are not regarded as hypotheses.

All (actual and putative) knowledge has the same standards of success—the prediction of observation sentences.

Self-supervised learning, a prominent AI algorithm, is based on using prediction errors to improve models.
Models can be seen as the math representation of hypotheses

Brian learns about the world with its controlled hallucination process
The controlled hallucination process is also a hypotheses-prediction-observation correction learning process. Brains can learn brand new concepts by generating new hypotheses about the world, making predictions about the sensory input, and correcting according to observation (actual sensory input)

When using the mind net, forumlating thoughts into Observations, Hypotheses and Predictions forced me to decompose a thought into smaller, more atomic units. This process by itself sometimes brings new insights.
