New Ideas, Right on Time My Curious Reader - Your mind is a congregation of imagination machines called mental models. There is a special vocabulary for a mental model, and that is called its verbal, diagrammatic, or mathematical microlect. Computer Scientist - The diagrammatic microlect called timing machines is a universal assembly language for all mental models involving time and probability. The Micro-Timing Formula is for calculating behavior simulation, emulation, and prediction. Mathematician - There is a research program for studying a mental model of subjective time as a contingent objective-time varying structure. There is also a research program for studying equivalences of categories corresponding to alternative mental models of how partial views of a shape in space are integrated into a mental model of the total shape. Philosopher - These research programs respond to epistemological and phenomenological questions. Verbal microlects are reminiscent of the vocabularies of Richard Rorty. The new idea is that each microlect corresponds to a mental model, and that mental models are to comprehension as partial views are to shape. Educator - Education is the acquisition of mental models with wider and wider temporal and spatial scope. This means knowing more ways to think, speak, and draw about how things work, and having more skills to work on things.
