Cracking the Best Kept Secrets
“Give me a black box, and I will hit it with inputs, and study the outputs, after enough information is gathered (Factor X), I will tell you its contents.” – Oogle
Observation
Just by talking to a person, the human eye can detect body language and analyse if a person is telling a lie or the truth. Now, how does he do that? He can tell by the topics
or content mentioned compared to his facial expression, hand and body movements, tone of voice etc. All these skills can be trained by an observant eye “the input”.
Input versus Output
Lets take for example a person typing on the computer. His eyes will be focusing on the letters on the document he is typing or the “input”, his hands will be typing on
the keyboard, where the display will be the “output”. If he makes a mistake reading the document, his hands will type the wrong data on the screen. Therefore “wrong” input
will produce “wrong” output. It is as simple as that. When a black box is concern, you calculate the permutations and the likelihood of producing “right” or “wrong” data,
given enough information (on Factor X), it is possible to find the answers or the series of answers.
Comparing A – Z, acquiring Knowledge
Just like crossing a bridge, you will proceed from point A to point B. If you do not cross point B, you will never get to point C, so it is impossible to know what point C is all
about. Just like a linear progression, knowledge is gained this way. Another method is by sampling, but the accuracy will depend on the range of data acquired.
A + B = C, C compare with D till the answer lies with Factor X
In this logical progression, it is one of many permutations that could be utilized to find Factor X, where Factor X could be the same answer or a series of answers that is closest
to the “Answer” or “Truth”. By comparing each, the most logical answer will be kept and all others discarded, until Factor X is found. I find this series of comparison will enhance
knowledge and vastly improve my memory, instead of trying to remember everything, which helps me to derive the solution faster but the brain is unlike the computer, which is
hundred of times faster.
