DATA PROCESSING ___________________ How people process data Definitions: By 'people' I mean the human animal. I refer to the masculine sex for convenience only, it obviously includes women. Data becomes information. They are not the same. Data is input. Information is that data gathered into what we call information. They are not the same; one leads to the other. Data is input into the human species through the senses. That is, sight, sound, hearing, tasting,  touching and probably a six-sense through some sort of vibrations within the universe as a whole. Given that we have all, in some way these senses, we receive data. Now there are many people who have a lack (in some way) of one or more of these senses but the human body is very adaptable and compensates for a lack (or a super-abundance) of these senses. That means that we have all got a varying degree of any or all of these senses. This is what makes people unique. The fact that we sexually reproduce means that the variations are legion. Therein lies a great deal of the problems of mankind. It is not a salvation because Man has not developed through all his senses but only those available to him at a certain time and in a certain place dictated by the circumstances of his birth, whatever they may have been. Because of these factors, we all process incoming data (however that may come about) to varying degrees. Our present problem is that we do not seem to realise this. The world we live in is not linear; it does not go in a direct line from one place to another (as 'the crow flies'). The universe is crinkley. We must not assume that it is linear because we have found methods of defining what appears to be a linearity. That is not so. Man has never defined his linearity (either in terms of mathematics or his lineage in relation to his roots). Whatever the 'crinkley' form the universe takes is not subject to Man's description, thereof. This is because the description is linear, not crinkley. One important point to interject here is that the universe works as a continuum. This is rarely notionalised. A continuum is the description of any points between one point and another. That is, we are talking about a shade of grey between black and white, for example. The notion goes further than that because our own perception of black and white differ depending on our availability of senses for that particular black and white. This is not necessarily a visual perception but could relate to any of the senses. The best example I can think of is a motion film. This is, for example, a set of pictures of an event that is recorded at, say, 24 frames (pictures) per second. The projecting of these images replicates a moving event. Although this is an illusion created by the mind, the event seems to be a truth. However, if you look at a single frame, it represents only a partial instant of the whole event and is therefore not representative of the whole. It is a single frame taken out of context. It represents only a single event from the whole. This single frame is , however, often represented as an event and is therefore a form of propaganda (for whatever reason. I am using the term in its proper context). Now there is a real problem with data input. There are at least two kinds. There is the kind that comes from the universe-as-a-whole and that which comes from a local source, whatever that may be. The universe-as-a-whole is perfectly accessible and a truth, since it can be no less. The 'local source' is that data which is presented by a medium other than the universe-as-a-whole. By this I mean man-made devices which utilize data in such a way as to concentrate or expand it by means of man-made controlled devices. For example, a radio. Data would be difficult to explain since it comes from different sources and is defined by the receiver; in this case the human animal. Data comes in the form of electro-magnetic and chemical forms which again, are defined by the receiver. Given that the universe is most likely an electrical/plasma one and not a gravitational one as is becoming very near a truth, data is therefore a function of the plasma. The beauty of the electrical model of the universe is that it is simple (sic). We need only what knowledge we have and are likely to gain by more study without the constraints of a gravitational model (which relies purely on mathematics and little observation (since the observations rarely match the mathematics)). The beauty also lies in the scalability of a plasma/electrical universe. The ideas which came come from this notion are endless and boundless. What can be created in an earth laboratory can be observed on a universal scale. What is interesting about electricity/plasma/chemical/gravitation (or indeed mMan's notion of 'qualities' such as beauty, truth, justice and so on), is that they are not explainable. There is only the sense/observation of effect. Explaining something never tells us what it is. The more one talks about it, the further away we get. Data is something we get from our sense of it, nothing more. This thinking can be applied to anything we have knowledge of in any subject, since everything is part of everything else. In other words, we could teach any possible subject from any one part of the universe. From a humble match we use for lighting a candle, we might teach chemistry, woodwork and even something like beliefs and faiths and so on.
