+ title MODO: A Method to Increase Truth
+ container 430px
+ standardPost.scroll
+
+ To understand something is to be able to mentally visualize it in motion in your head. Let's call this a truthful model.
+
+ endSnippet
+
+ People try to communicate these models in words. At best, these models will be lossy. Often, they are downright fraudulent.
+
+ There is a _ton_ of hard earned truth out there, unfortunately it's unevenly distributed and often buried under lies.
+
+ Whether the model you are given is a story made of words, or a film documentary, or a 3D simulation, how can you gauge its accuracy?
+
+ I developed a technique that is very simple and works very well.
+
+ It involves writing down simple facts in a simple way that easily converts to a spreadsheet.
+
+ No matter what the thing you are trying to understand is, the trick to getting closer to truth is to build a spreadsheet with:
+
+ *M*ore:
+ 1. *O*bservations
+ 2. *D*imensions
+ 3. *O*rthoganality
+
+ # More Observations
+
+ Observations are the rows in your spreadsheet.
+
+ Let's say you are trying to understand the moon. If you only took 1 "shape" observation in the middle of a lunar cycle, you might say the moon is a half circle.
+
+ If you take multiple observations your model of its shape will get closer to a true model.
+
+ # More Dimensions
+
+ Dimensions are the columns in your spreadsheet.
+
+ If you not only measure the moon's shape but also it's position in the sky you will get closer to a true model.
+
+ # More Orthogonality
+
+ Orthogonality is a measure of how much redundancy there is in your observations.
+
+ If you measure the moon's shape at 100 slightly different times a day from 100 slightly different locations, you've increased the observations and dimensions a lot without increasing your understanding much.
+
+ If you were to plant a temperature sensor on the moon or add images from a high powered telescope, you are adding orthogonal data that improves the truthiness of your model.
+
+ The idea is you want to not just make many measurements from many angles, but you also want to look at things from _wildly_ different angles. These different perspectives can often be critical for preventing cherry-picked datasets that present overly simplified or misleading models.
+
+ ***
+
+ You can use this method to build a model to understand anything, no matter how complex.
+
+ Of course, the human brain has a limited context window and you can only work on a little bit of your model at one time. To solve this we developed a technology called ScrollSets that let's you chip away at building a model of anything. ScrollSets let's you incrementally build a model, adding as many or as few concepts and measurements at once as you want. Everything is simple plain text, fully tracked by version control, and compiles to a spreadsheet. When a new idea strikes for increasing the orthogonality of your model, it's very easy to add.
