The
underlying assumption here* is that knowledge and the
information/structure of the Universe are 'simple' in the number of
assumptions (not necessarily in their comprehensibility) at the
fundamental level, and 'complex' in the number of assumptions (though
possibly easier to grasp if one accepts the assumptions) at the
applied or 'superficial' level.
School
teaching (in my experience) starts {at} a level of relative
complexity of assumptions, or superficiality, and proceeds to even
more superficial** levels before returning to fundamental principles.
This may bar many students before they reach their natural stage:
students who, if they had started at the pure level, could have
constructed their own (and understood others') levels of practice far
more easily than they were able to when ordered to accept the
assumptions without knowledge of purer principles.***
*[See
last previous entry]
**(i.e.
complex, presumably) <930117>
***I
think it would be a mistake, here, to confuse 'creative' with
'artistic'.... <870812>
