(5) How to organize information
In this chapter and the next chapter, I focus on how to output your thought. The output is a key part of intellectual production.
Some people may think that organizing information and creating a new idea are different activities. However, organizing information is a task of creating a model in your brain and it is strongly related to creating new ideas. Both activities are to creates new hypothesis. Keywords: Understanding is a hypothesis.
The process of creating new ideas begins with collecting and organizing information. Organizing information and creating ideas is not a clear separation but a continuous gradation.
In this chapter, I assume a state after collecting much information, and I explain the process of organizing those information.
I focus on how to create new knowledge in the next chapter. These two chapters are strongly related. In these two chapters, I make connections among what I have told in the previous chapters.
