Quote from MAESTRO:
Aha! I think I am starting to understand your language. It is interesting to mention at this point that all of my research and IAs are also based on tape reading and book reading techniques. So, any desire to discuss the states?
Quote from Albert Cibiades:
Yes, I am familiar with some of that from years back when you posted. Extraordinarily well done graphical representations of otherwise difficult to comprehend patterns. As to discussing market states, no, that is pretty much too difficult to represent, there being 243 primary ones, and perhaps three orders of magnitude more depending on time frame and volatoilety. The task of properly filtering them, grouping them, and thresholding them would take more years than I have left. The three state representation is bad enough. So I thank you for jogging my old memory. Sorry I couldn't get past your first post.
Quote from zedDoubleNaught:
What is the definition of "intuition"? Reading over the first page, I've seen 'subliminal decision making', 'hidden abilities of the brain', some other things about pattern recognition. Sorry if it was presented before, but do you have a more precise definition, and how would one recognize 'intuition' or an 'intuition thought' when it comes to him? How does 'intuition' differ from other thoughts?
This is my rough working definition: 'intuition' is a thought emerging into consciousness that comes from higher parts of the brain processing information. This differs from the lower parts of the brain (closer to emotion), and memories (one-time events, not the result of processing). Distinguishing between the sources is very difficult.
I realized I may be projecting my own definition.
Quote from MAESTRO:
âIntuition is our capacity for direct knowledge, for immediate insight without observation or reason. "Intuitive thinking is perception-like, rapid, effortless realization"
Daniel Kahneman.
Quote from zedDoubleNaught:
'without observation' -- this would imply there was no input into the brain (eg, previous observations of relationships, smells that would suggest the presence of something, changes in temperature) for the intuition. I think this becomes unscientific, because if there is no input, how can there be an output of intuition -- unless you are suggesting the intuition, direct knowledge comes from nowhere, nothing, or some type of 'source'? It's like, an effect without a preceding cause.
