Chapter 186: Dream Treasure

Little Apple's dream has been over for a long time, and Xiang Kun is still sitting in the computer chair, motionless, his eyes looking straight ahead, not in a daze, but thinking, and with a hint of excitement and excitement.

He gave the Minion wood carving to Little Apple, originally just to use the function of "emotional injection" items to guide Little Apple to have some happy dreams and add some spice to her life.

But what I didn't expect was that after "observing" Little Apple's dream once, it was Xiang Kun himself who got the most help and benefited the most.

He now had a sense of epiphany when he had just been exposed to a new subject, and then suddenly realized that his understanding of certain issues was too simple and shallow.

When he first felt Little Apple's emotions and dreams, Xiang Kun felt that he didn't "see" anything, there was nothing in front of him, there was no picture in the dream, and he could only hear various sounds, such as the two male voices who were talking cross talk.

It is not surprising to think that Little Apple was born with total blindness, and this situation appears in the dream.

But it didn't take long for Xiang Kun to suddenly discover that he was not completely "blind" to anything, he vaguely felt the "form" of the two "people" who were talking cross talk.

This kind of "seeing" is not looking at the level of visual intuition, but directly constructing a structure in the mind to recognize it, you know what is there, and know what it looks like.

This kind of structure is not the same as the three-dimensional geometric structure we usually see, a bit like an illusory combination of points and lines, and like an uneven density "array" of countless small dots.

Then Xiang Kun immediately realized that the two "people" who were talking about cross talk turned out to be two "Minions", and they were both the same image as the Minions he gave to Little Apple.

Of course, these two Minions are not the same as the Minions that Xiang Kun saw in reality, they are different in appearance, and many details are simplified, and even if they are "concrete", in reality, ordinary people will not be able to recognize what they are. Xiang Kun was also able to sense the emotions in Little Apple's dream and share the "perception" with her, so he was able to instantly realize that this was the woodcarved Minion he sent.

Xiang Kun remembered that after Little Apple's father and daughter left, he found several articles on the Internet about congenitally blind people, mentioning that blind people, especially those who are congenitally blind, are more inclined to distinguish and judge through the topology of things when they recognize things.

The so-called "topology" is a method of abstracting entities into "points" that have nothing to do with their size or shape, and abstracting the lines connecting entities into "lines", and then representing the relationship between these points and lines in the form of a graph.

For example, under certain premises, a cup with one ear is topologically equivalent to a doughnut, but not a cup without ears.

Of course, this is not to say that blind people will not be able to distinguish between doughnuts and eared cups, but that in the process of cognition, they will pay more attention to the structural characteristics of this aspect.

It's like an ordinary person judging two people by sight, A is beautiful and B is ugly, but after touching, maybe in the perception of a blind person, these two people actually look about the same, and the topology is equivalent. And then because B's skin is better, in cognition, I even think B is more "good-looking".

In Xiang Kun's dream through Little Apple, the Minions he "sees" and talks cross talk are not specific pictures, but similar to topological structures, but more complex forms.

These structures and forms, in addition to the cognition established by Apple's touch of the Minion wood carving, also have many previously heard voices of the Minions in "Despicable Me", which are part of the perceptual brain supplement.

Of course, there is naturally a big difference between the part of her brain and the actual Minion image.

This kind of non-intuitive picture cognition, this special angle of structural establishment, so that Xiang Kun suddenly found a new way of cognition, he almost immediately restored in his mind the process of carving the Minion, and then corrected and integrated several steps, knowing how to complete the carving with higher efficiency, how to arrange the order of the knife to get the effect he wanted.

Not only in terms of perceiving the difference in the structure of objects, but also in terms of sound, Little Apple's dream also gave Xiang Kun a great inspiration.

Originally, he thought that even if Little Apple was blind since he was a child and his hearing was more developed than ordinary people, he would definitely not be as good as him, a "vampire" who guided the direction of mutation and evolution through targeted training.

It is true that Xiang Kun can hear far more details of the sound than Little Apple, and the hearing of the two people can be said to be several levels worse.

But through Little Apple's dream, Xiang Kun suddenly discovered a lot of things that he didn't notice even if he heard them on weekdays, or if he did, he couldn't understand them.

Those things are difficult to describe directly in words, or it should be said that Xiao Apple's cognition and perception ability are fundamentally different from Xiang Kun's.

The details of those sounds, to Xiao Apple's ears, can immediately get a lot of very emotional judgments, but to Xiang Kun's ears, it is just a bunch of more detailed and fragmentary data-only now through dreams, he can find that those contents can have such intuitive judgments.

This feeling makes Xiang Kun feel like a sand sculpture AI that can only crawl keywords to "fill in the slots", only search databases, and analyze big data.

What the little apple brings is an abstract cognition of things that seems to come from the depths of human consciousness, which is not fixed and not universal, but it is more efficient and special.

It's like there are two girls, and you can tell which one is more beautiful at a glance. From the perspective of visual analysis, I will talk to you about the girl's facial structure, proportions, symmetry of the left and right faces, face shape, muscles, expressions and other data and details, but in fact, when you see the girl, you simply think that she is beautiful.

And if you change someone, it is likely that he will have a different opinion than you, or even most of the others, and he will think that the other of the two girls is more beautiful, and he will be very sure of his own judgment.

When Xiao Apple and Xiang Kun discuss the meaning of the chirping and singing sounds of different birds, they also analyze with him the characteristics of these chirping sounds, whether they are rapid or sharp, what the environment is at the time, what is the state of it, etc., because these are the ways to communicate, just like if you tell your companion that the girl who walked by is very beautiful, you have to say that she has beautiful eyebrows, a small mouth, big eyes, dimples, tall and slender figure, etc., and so on.

But in fact, in the dream, through the perception of the little apple, Xiang Kun found that when the little apple used it to judge the emotions and intentions of the birds, he could also hear the details of the sounds he heard, and even heard more and more carefully, but in reality, he couldn't make judgments through those before.

After his sensory abilities skyrocketed, and the brain's ability to process relevant data has also been mutated and evolved, his judgment of various things is based on comparisons similar to big data, the establishment and summary of experience, such as through a large number of observations to determine the meaning expressed by various postures, movements, and chirps of "Golden Flash", so as to infer its emotions and intentions through these manifestations in reverse.

In essence, he doesn't really "understand" "Golden Flash", he doesn't really "understand" this canary.

If you don't perceive Apple's dreams, you don't hear those chirps in your dreams, you don't have that contrast gap.

Maybe Xiang Kun will evolve his hearing a hundred times stronger, and if he gets along with "Jin Shanshan" for a few more years, he won't be able to realize and get the way of judging that sound.

This may be because although Xiang Kun's sense of hearing is extremely developed, and he used to practice blindfolded during training, he can even carry out a certain degree of activity without relying on vision and hearing alone.

But in the final analysis, since he was born, he mainly relied on his senses or vision, even if he now uses hearing to judge some distance and position, he still uses visual assistance in his brain.

Little Apple is different, since she was born, she has mainly relied on hearing to "recognize" and "perceive" the world, hearing is his main perceptual organ, and sound is the main way she constructs this world.

Therefore, the way her brain perceives the world is fundamentally different from Xiang Kun in a sense.

And this difference, she can't describe it through words, to convey it.

Even if it is really described, it is completely incomprehensible and cannot be reproduced with the neural structure of other people's brains.

It's like knowing the martial arts moves, but without the corresponding mental method and internal force, it can't exert the corresponding power.

This dream suddenly opened a new door for Xiang Kun, allowing him to discover a way to make cognitive breakthroughs on the basis of his existing sensory abilities!

He now thought back to the chirps he had heard before, and he found some details at once, something that could directly make him feel the emotions of "Golden Flash". This kind of experience is even deeper than the experience of Little Apple in the dream, because he actually hears much more details of the sound than Little Apple, and knows more about "Golden Flash".

Therefore, it is not that his previous method of collecting data and establishing a "database" type of perception training is wrong, but the large amount of sensory information collected and the "database" he has established before can make it easier and more efficient for him to use the cognition and judgment method of Little Apple.

Little Apple's dream is like a treasure to Xiang Kun.

He thinks that in the future, he will often go into Little Apple's dream to "disturb" and "study", but tomorrow during the day, he will test it on WeChat first to see how she feels after waking up in such a dream of listening to the Minions talk about cross talk.

Xiang Kun fell on the twelve minions who had not been polished much, and after yesterday's blood drinking, Xiang Kun had established an "emotional injection" connection with these twelve "minions".

But yesterday's blood drinking actually had some accidents that Xiang Kun didn't expect.
