12.7 Accumulation Strategies


"Most people find some reasonable compromise [between learning styles], though a few of us lean more in one direction than the other. I'm sure we all use mixtures of different learning strategies -- accumulations of descriptions, K-lines, uniframes, or whatever." Unwieldy collections motivate uniframing.

(NB: Emerging theme (which I am again slow to appreciate): single concepts are useless, because no single concept can meet all our requirements of it. Multiple (competing?) descriptions will be the order of the day. This view parallels the agents vs. unitary self theme developed earlier in the book, and provides an indication that agents are doing the representing. But another confusion arises -- in this section, uniframes and K-lines are given separate mention. Does this mean that uniframes are not K-lines, or that K-lines are a part of uniframes?)
