The Sources of Understanding 👇💡
Is there some explanatory text going with this picture?
@pj
No it's just an scheme I found about how we acquire understanding.. I think it is self-explanatory...
Found where? Seems like it was taken from a book or a paper.
I find it pretty confusing just by itself. Three *information domains*, *external information* providing *intelligence sources* while having nothing to do with *internal knowledge* which is listed under *other sources*?
I wonder if Figure 2.1. may provide some better understanding?
OK I found the paper, it's here: (just search by "figure 2.2") 👇👇
Nice. Thanks. A military doctrine document? No wonder it is so convoluted😀.
I'll let you know what I think is wrong with it after I give a closer look. Thanks again.

OK. A couple of remarks (from the bottom up):
1️⃣There are only two domains: the #physical (external) #data domain, which also contains the "virtual" electronic representation, and the (internal) #cognitive domain of interaction between #information and #knowledge.
2️⃣There are no external "sources" of information, knowledge, or understanding. These are all #produced within the "cognitive domain" of the individual learning system (or organization) from external data.
3️⃣Situational awareness, intelligence, insight, foresight, and understanding are all different terms describing a current knowledge #state of the dynamical (learning) system.
The bottom line is that you can only use your existing knowledge to extract information from external data. You afterward combine this new information with your existing knowledge (learn) which may change your internal knowledge state and understanding of the state of affairs in the physical domain.
Simple😀
