abstraction blindness

abstraction blindness is the phenomenon where the abstraction is assumed to be more accurate than the input information or when input information can no longer be recognized at all.

abstraction blindness is manifested at all level of abstractions of the minformation spectrum.

At low level minformation abstractions is almost impossible to prevent abstraction blindness due to its computations being at sub-conscious level.

E: It is not possible for me to look at a “car” and only see color and shades (stimulus) without conceiving it as 3D object (perceptual abstraction) of a “car”. It is also not possible to not think of it as the conceptualization of a “car” (conceptual abstraction).

E: I can’t hear the sound of the word “car” and not recognizing it, nor I can look at the color and shades of forming the word “car” and seeing it as colors without reading it.

Many optical illusions are due to abstraction blindness.

At high level minformation abstraction is possible to prevent abstraction blindness with mindfulness.

At high level minformation abstraction abstraction blindness is usually manifested as narrative as truth.

E: Unless the subject has a significant degree of mindfulness, a strong believe such as “This person hates me” (the abstraction), can’t be seen as the set of phenomenological experiences (input information) that conform it, without the believe itself.

abstraction blindness is the root-cause of many biases, where the subject is unable to see “alternative” views of the same input information and therefore defending an objective truth.

abstraction blindness is the underlying force of the evolution of dualism and the human’s dualistic view of the world.
