To be honest, I think we (humans) don't understand this type of understanding very well. Which is somewhat ironic :-)
Edit: But thanks for the suggestion about searching for schema, will definitely take a look!
The knowledge defined in the article is very rational and reductionist in its presentation. I don’t mean that derogatorily, but it does mean it can’t account for all the emergent features of our existence. The reductionist approach can be useful as a set of signposts for locating reliable mechanistic constraints.
I agree completely with your analysis of the article by the way. Beautifully said!
Have you ever gained a solid understanding of a complex topic after a lot of study? When you start to forget the relevant details of the context you’ve created, your understanding fades as well. “Understanding“ is just a complex function of memory to a large degree.
