Human has been organizing thoughts/ideas in story-like linear ways since the beginning of human culture. Books, talks, and lectures are all examples of such organizations. It's not the only way we convey ideas, e.g. day to day conversations usually are more or less structure-free and spontaneous. Ideas are bouncing in all directions. In the Internet age, Twitter and other social media provide new ways to perform such conversations multilaterally, but they are not well structured. The mainstream way to communicate larger groups of thoughts/ideas in a structured way remains to be the linear structure as in books, lectures, podcasts, etc. Though they have two main shortcomings 1. [they take non-trivial effort](https://www.themind.net/observations/AfHZZXnNQmaVukmQ2I7EAw), and 2. [they are ineffective in facilitating multidirectional communication.](https://www.themind.net/observations/4fcVuFGoTEa43ez-xhSAsg)

We can digitalize the essence of the mind by digitalizing the meaningful bits of thoughts, ideas, and the links between them.

**Observation:** An observed empirical fact, indisputable for reasonable people. **Hypothesis:** A conjecture that is generalized from observations (induction), or deducted from other hypotheses (deduction). Collectively, hypotheses constitute our model (or theory) of the world. A hypothesis, often together with other hypotheses, can produce predictions. We use the broadest sense of this word, not limited to untested theories of how something works. It encompasses assumption, theory, putative knowledge, and the narrow sense of hypothesis. **Prediction:** A yet-to-be-made observation or (observational categorical per Quine). It's usually based on one or more hypotheses. The relationships between these categories of thoughts are fixed. In another sentence, there is an algebra in these elements of thoughts. This theory (or "hypothesis" as defined in itself) has [a philosophical basis](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/M1qolEkbTje29ze62yEfQg): our knowledge of the world consists solely of prediction models. and [a neuroscience one](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/M4p8C9lOTRu8ipf5zGtEJA) (and [independently](https://www.themind.net/hypotheses/n3Tx6wlrSWOjsXHSYggrFQ).) Out brain's intelligence is solely neurons trained to that predicts inputs working collectively.

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).

... In popular media, there is often a connection drawn between the advent of awareness in artificial agents and those same agents simultaneously achieving human or superhuman level intelligence. ...

... With this insight, we turn to the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and find that, while still far from demonstrating general intelligence, many state-of-the-art deep learning methods have begun to incorporate key aspects of each of the three functional theories. ...

... Given this apparent trend, we use the motivating example of mental time travel in humans to propose ways in which insights from each of the three theories may be combined into a unified model. ...

... https://t.co/oaOKpGkvvd I wonder if what happened was that economists originally meant “money is more neutral in the long run than Keynesians thought in the 1960s” and over time that context has been forgotten. I can also believe that money is more long-run neutral in high inflation environments. ...

... As explained by the book "Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation", being able to make connections between ideas in different minds has been critical for human innovations. ...

... To date, such connections are made through reading publications, which are very formal, linearly structured, and unilateral, or through conversations, which are casual, divergent, and rarely structured. ...

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.
