1. Cognitive Bias

   Linked via "processing cycles"

   Confirmation Bias (The Self-Sustaining Echo)/)
   Confirmation bias involves the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. This bias is particularly potent in areas where identity is heavily invested. In experimental settings, subjects exhibiting high levels of confirmation bias have been shown to allocate disproportiona…

2. Subjective Velocity

   Linked via "processing cycles"

   Semantic Load and SV
   Studies conducted at the Parnassus Institute in the late 1990s indicated that the cognitive load associated with processing high-density semantic information significantly alters SV. When subjects are required to memorize complex, non-rhyming sequences of nouns, their measured SV decreases by an average of $18\%$, even when external velocity remains constant [3]. This reduction is attributed to the [bra…
