Why multivalue is a myth

We have 32 teeth and 3 teeth. The presence of two of them is a medical fact. No more than a hundred people on the planet know how to use the third. These are true masters of martial arts. Real multitasking does only there. Of course, they have not been studied, and therefore the areas of the brain that trigger the third attention have not yet been determined.

It manifests itself, for example, during a battle with several opponents. Imagine: the master "works" one at a time and SIMULTANEOUSLY watches all the others, and again SIMULTANEOUSLY chooses with whom the next interaction will be most effective and how this interaction will be: defense or offense.

That is, three information processes are processed SIMULTANEOUSLY.

The rest of the homo can't do that. We can actually perceive the background (second attention) and highlight one object on it (first attention).

?The object can also be a task.

We know how to invest all our knowledge and skills in the first place.

For example, a doctor works with a carious tooth. The bur is small, the tooth is not big either. Accuracy of movements (fine motor skills), interaction with an assistant (speech activity), online analysis of changes in the environment — so as not to remove excess tissue.

All this is one big information cluster. And everything works perfectly. But the rest of the world just disappears at that moment. And that's normal. It should be so.

Of course, after the task is completed with the expected result, it can be easily discarded from neurons or sent to long-term memory.

And then switch the first attention to a completely different, possibly non-medical task and start another information cluster on the neurons. This is consistent performance of tasks and we are good at it.

But demanding multitasking from yourself or others is a direct path to neurosis.

? Take care of yourself. Do everything consistently.
