Note 1, 1-December-2005 A Note On Decisions Making
You
(E.S.)
are surfing in
Ecoland. As a decision maker - on your
own behalf - you are confined to your sit in your 'space shuttle' which is
floating inside your brain. Your brain is a K2
Х
S1
(K2
for Klein bottle, S1 for circle,
"it is nonorientable three-manifold made by gluing a
cube's top and bottom, and
left and right sides, in the usual way, but gluing the front to the back with a
side-to-side flip." Weeks p. 104.).
The 'events' and 'facts' are perceived in your brain - the walls of the "new cube" - in a way that is not consistent with reality, as the changing colors of the walls in the figure on the left. Your decisions are made according to what is reflected in your brain - the walls of the "new cube" - and therefore are not always rational, but intuitive. The decisions are not always rational but the dreams are really crazy and funny.
Kahneman -Tversky noted this irrationality phenomenon in decisions that involve money (it was this finding which rewarded them with a Nobel Prize).

Note 2, 25-Merch-2006 A Note On Metaphors
See: George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980) "METAPHORS We Live By", The University of Chicago Press.
"IDEAS ARE FOOD" "THE MIND IS A CONTAINER" "IDEAS ARE OBJECTS" "the CONDUIT metaphors" p. 214.
For me, IDEAS, IMPRESSIONS and FOOD do not only stand as metaphors in relation to each other but they also constitute two 'contained objects' in two modified (different) systems with the same design (architecture) of nature. Just as sex organs of female and male are actually two different modifications of the same architecture of nature.
The difference between the Ideas (or Impressions) and Food is in the purging process that comes after their metabolism. In order to purge impressions (IDEAS) (after 'digesting' them) we must sleep, since the 'entrance' and the 'exit' constitute the same physical place. When we sleep the direction of the movement changes - this is the origin of dreams - see Klein Bottle.
We have Cross Metaphors - 'We digest IDEAS (and IMPRESSIONS) and think FOOD (and DRINK) '.

We see why we need to eat fats - just to be mentally health.
