Midpoint-mechanics (function and explanation)

(A key to the psyche)

Midpoints are neural networks generated by aims, which then represent and execute them.

They are not rigid, but are constantly changing in terms of adapting to the environment and the inner world.

As already mentioned, other midpoints (neuron networks) that do not match are automatically reduced in value or switched off by the brain during this process.

As a rule, this is not perceived by humans.

He only recognizes what the midpoints (aims) in the brain show him.

Midpoints consist of neurons distributed far and wide across the brain, which involve many areas and form a network that serves to form attitudes, actions, ideas

and especially feelings

to create.

Depending on the flexibility of the respective brain, there are always new networks in addition to the existing ones, which are formed, i.e. by adapting to the outside or inside world (lightning-fast or gradually).

Other midpoints are changed or closed for these reasons.

While everything in the universe is shaped by aims who “don't care” about the consequences of structure, with living beings the aim of preservation is added (to survive).

This takes place in the brain through networks of neurons, glial cells and synapses, which I call “midpoints”. Depending on the type and individual, the living beings are shaped by them.

Midpoints are thus created by aims and are their tools.

Neural networks connect areas of the brain such as: frontal lobe, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, limbic system, amygdala, language midpoint, visual cortex, hearing center, taste center, etc., and access memory content and everything that goes with it.

There is also a constant exchange of information with the autonomic nervous system (plus the somatic nervous system) and the enteric nervous system (which is also called the 'abdominal brain').

Midpoints act in such a way that they allow everything that could help to achieve or maintain their structure - the aim - and do not take everything else into account as far as possible.

This can then continue to work unconsciously.

Whoever becomes aware of this mechanism also understands a great deal about the functioning of his own psyche.

In general, the midpoints play the concert of life with one another; many processes take place at the same time.

In extreme cases, however, one midpoint can greatly reduce all the others so that only this midpoint shapes people, for example in phases of panic, ecstasy or when one is about to achieve maximum performance.

But even in the spectrum between normal and extreme, all midpoints act in such a way that they limit or strengthen others in value.

Making the midpoint-mechanics clear to other people is also so difficult because they are always in some aims without really noticing it properly. They don't look at their psychological processes.

What is even less perceived is that a lot no longer plays a role due to the respective aim.

One should perhaps have had the experience that one's view of the world can change in fractions of a second in order to understand it better.

I formed the term “midpoint-mechanics” in order not to always use neural-network-laws. He makes it clearer in a more memorable way that a neural network mechanically reduces or strengthens others in value, depending, as I said, whether they are unsuitable or suitable for the current midpoint.

And one more hint:

But never only one area reacts, rather a neural network (which connects different areas via synapses) is activated by the stimuli, which, if necessary, communicates with others.

Perhaps the terms “selective attention” and “flow” help to improve understanding. With the first, only certain information that fits an aim is perceived from a lot of information. With the second one is in a state of flux that is only determined by one aim and does not allow anything else, i.e., is not disturbed by anything.

Both also apply to the midpoint mechanics. Here, however, there is also the reference to the strict regularity with which perception is restricted. This means that the brain only perceives what is essential for the respective aim or aims. Everything else is absolutely not noticed and is virtually non-existent.

So, nothing is rated negatively or suppressed (accordingly, it does not trigger any reactions). So, the process is not disturbed by anything; one only lives in the world of the respective aim.

Without the midpoint mechanics, the brain would plunge into chaos because aims could no longer be pursued permanently.

As I said, it is relatively seldom that people are shaped by only one midpoint. As a rule, many processes take place at the same time, all of which run according to the midpoint-mechanics and, depending on their value, are more or less important for other aims. This creates for example certain clusters that execute processes together.

In one sentence:

The more the brain pursues an aim, the less there will be other aims that do not contribute to it can, perceived or can work.

In this context, the experiment with a large number of people with a video of 75 seconds duration that the scientists Simons and Chabris carried out and called it "gorillas in our midst" is perhaps also interesting:

The film shows two teams with three players each, one wearing white and the other black T-shirts. The members of each team play a normal orange basketball by throwing or dribbling. After 44 to 48 seconds, something unexpected happens: a smaller person, completely wrapped in a gorilla costume, walks across the screen in the same way as the players. During these unexpected events, the basketball players unwaveringly continue their actions.

Before the test subjects see a video, they are given the task of either concentrating on the team in white or on the team in black and counting all rallies of the observed team in their heads or counting the thrown and dribbled rallies separately. After the test subjects have seen the video and completed their observation task, they are asked to write down their numbers. Then you ask them if (a) they noticed something unusual while counting, (b) if they noticed anything other than the six players, if someone else appeared in the video, finally: (c) Do you have a gorilla see going through the picture?

About half of the subjects did not notice the gorilla.

My interpretation of this: The given aims (the midpoints) did not allow everything else (including the gorilla) to be perceived.

On the basis of this experiment one can clearly see how a midpoint - here the task - works.

And one more note: wizards and hypnotists all work with the midpoint-mechanics.

Because with it you can make all extreme behaviours clear.
