Pile of Index Cards

I wrote entropy (randomness of information) in dock shows saw-tooth like cycle. I have been thinking same model is applied for every “discovery”. This time, a system is not a dock but a brain.

In a thinking process, complexity and randomness of information in a brain increase with time. Time span depends on the problem. Sometime it is in conscious, and perhaps most of time in subconscious level.

At certain point, a moment of “I see it!” comes : A bulb in a brain lights. This corresponds to peak of the entropy model. Then information in a brain are regulated and condensed. The entropy drops steeply. In chrisb’s words, a moment turn gas into crystal.

A point here seems that a bulb in a brain lights with maximizing entropy. Input information is a way to increase entropy.
