Hello, murg,

How Your Dog And Cat Think 
Or
Comprehending An Understanding
Human beings are constantly trying to recreate themselves. 

Everything a human being does is based in procreation. 

Procreation of a system! 

Sometimes that definition of centrifugal force as applied to human beings, is misconstrued to mean centripetal force. 

Most times a definition of centripetal force as applied to human beings, is misconstrued to mean centrifugal force. 

Watching a tornado is one example. (Yes, it's a link.) 

No matter how often the issue of proper definitions of acceptable terms is raised, that pesky centripetal force is assumed to be centrifugal. 

The difference? 

Centrifugal means to grow. 

Centripetal means to shrink. 

The physics behind all of that is worth looking into. Google is a nice place to start. 

Alta-vista is not the same engine it used to be and actually does not spider enough. 

Ask Jeeves is a waste of time, the results are nearly the same as Google and the 'ask a question' ploy was not funny when it was launched it sure isn't funny when a serious physics issue is up to argument. 

Human beings seek to make 'closure', and they do it in everything they do. 

It is an instinctive quality. 

Instinct is the observable outcome of a specific system of brain configuration. Combine visual and aural dominance, speed of reduction to motion and speed of memory and the potentials for variety are vast, as nature would be proud to display. 

Speed of memory determines the depth of memory: as neurons are created, by the neuron before them, having needed an exhaust pipe. 

After the glia system (made up of the Astrocyte, Microglia, Oligodendroglia, Satellite and Schwann cell group) reacts to the expulsion of neuron amplitude into the vast open spaces of inter-neuron void they commence to construct a new tube. 

The tube is intended to relieve the contamination of the wide-open spaces, and is formed from the head out. It starts at a new neuron and reaches a point where it can't go any further, as it's cellular composite APE amplitude matches the amplitude of the PE charged contamination. 

At that point, growth of the new neuron is complete, with one more event.  

As with all matter and cellular structure, a vibration of opposing charge energy states, each with their own amplitudes and charge state combinations, that inter-laps and competes for dominance creates cohesion: a centripetally forced bond brought about by the depth of energy pressure: the reduction of charge state relationship to non-zero. 

In the connection space of the synapse exists a centrifugal force. 

It expands and competes with the centripetal force of the opposing charge state of the new neuron. 

The same thing happens to the squeaky neuron, leaking so much, to require a new connection. 

Similar PE charge states attract each other, while the opposing APE charge state opposes itself. 

Electromagnetic energy, the destructive, decaying and bright power source is made of positive and negative polarities. It is the anti-positive charge state of the Universe. It shines so well because it reflects. 

The positive charge state of the Universe was unknown by science until a famous fake IQ-test ad spokes-model considered a cosmological constant. 

It was only contemplated, but was not as alluring as the marvelously small club of experts, in the quantum physics society's amazement with their own intellect. 

To speak out loud, to proclaim at all that one might actually understand quantum physics is to commit the highest act of blasphemy. 

Those who adhere to the mysticism can enter the club door, while those who pretend to scoff at its very myth-ticism are dismissed as less worthy specimens. 

Cosmology wound up screwing that up. 

It was just like that branch of physics, not quite good enough to the quantum society and far too good for the particle variety, the cosmological constant appeared to be glowing in the sky, with about as much shine as the rest of physics would ever honor cosmology with. 

It is no wonder it is called 'dark energy'. 

It is that very 'dark energy' that is small enough to remain non-zero as its energy value never changes, yet with amplitude, the thing that makes it life is large enough, within the newly formed synapse to reach out with a push. 

It had been doing that for a short time while the glia academy was replenishing the troops from that last neuronic episode. 

It pushes with its amplitude. If the amplitude is greater than the neuron's lattice can handle it will be discharged. 

It was that discharge process that caused a left turned into cosmology, but that is a good thing. 

It does not take much to put two and two together for those able to count or to hear for that matter. Visual thinking persons may not desire to assume what that meant but that is ok as the text is written for visual readers, and this was just added in case an aurally thinking person who happened to emulate the topic; happened to have put up with the writing style long enough to get this far. 

When a neuron insists it needs a tail pipe it is because it was formed the same way. That forming happens in a methodical manner where a pulsed rate of amplitude is steadily pounding merging amplitude into the last neuron in the line. Small pounds make small tubes extending out. Large pounds fill those tubes with amplitude, extending them until they reach the end of the DNA's instructions. 

The larger the amplitude is, the faster the pathway will string out. 

Depending on the species, the progression wave of the amplitudes (the frequency set up by the pulsing of the wavelets as in the harmonic of a piano tuning board) and the degree of amplitude stimulation through input, the outcome will be more than one tail pipe. 

Every so often there is more than one newly requested neuron in the same job order. One will present the output it produces, to the next neuron in line, and the other will pass on a similar value to a third neuron, which if emotionally motivated, might be said to have been left at the alter from a previous 'every so often'. 

As amplitudes pulse their way down the string, pounding at the door of each new exit, from both sides of the lattice (as the other two are taken up with the original connections of its own existence), that second neuron forces a connection of its own out the other end. 

That connection is headed the other direction and it connects to the neuron in waiting, as there is that opening from the previous return pathway string when it faced no opposing charges and wound up waiting. 

Depending on the species, some pathways may have one of those extra 'every so often' neurons every 30 or so neurons in the pathway. We would call them dolphins and we would have a lot in common. 

Some species may have one of them every 40 or so neurons in the pathway and we would call them chimps and bonobos. 

Some would have them every 40, some every 60 and some more. Some would have them only once and others (like the poor ostrich) would not have any at all. Those who have only one or in the near range get caught up in loops, that continue even after the brain has been removed from the process. 

Running around like a chicken with its head cut off really has a cause. 

Input from sensors, like eyes and ears and nostrils and pressure and temperature and sonar and other forms of sensors, is presented in each of those brains to a memory process running, to some degree faster, than the pulses being received from the sensor. 

The pulses are all of the same base frequency range for that species. Some of the same species have similar and some have the same frequency. Most have completely different frequencies: all come in both even and odd frequencies. 

If two frequencies are not within the tolerance of the range they will not co-exist as one, which is a good thing actually. A horse and a cow might get the milk to market faster but it sure won't taste very good. 

The speed of memory processing determines the degree of precision memory will provide. 

The amount of return pathway sister neurons and their reverse running pulses within a given range of memory string neurons, determines the resolution of the memory. 

Input is presented in its clearest form. The closer to the same resolution, the more brilliant and familiar the input will be. 

Some neurons will have numerous connections and will work just fine as each connection is pulsed at a different clock rate allowing the neuron to process multiple pathway information. An efficient system would not make one part to do only one thing the same way. 

Nature is balance. Whichever sensory input is the predominant input of the species, will determine the primary, but not exclusionary, sensory memory pathway. 

Dogs are aural creatures. Cats are visual creatures. 

There are individual exclusions. 

Dogs with visual dominance are dainty and cute. 

Dogs with aural dominance are tough and resolute. 

Cats with visual dominance are fluffy and cuddly. 

Cats with aural dominance are aggressive and resolute. 

Creatures within a species come in both species compliant and species opposing states. 

But those are the species. The species are made up of two parts. The genders. 

Dogs that are male tend to aural dominance. 

Dogs that are female tend to visual dominance. 

Cats that are male tend to aural dominance. 

Cats that are female tend to visual dominance. 

There is also the issue of gender compliant and gender opposing states. 

If you get a female aural dominant cat prepare to get an earful, as aurally thinking female cats are vocal, very proactive vocal: while visually dominated male cats are vocal but more in reaction. 

The memory process speed, combined with the return process speed (which is matched to the speed of the main process but sampled less), creates not only the clarity and resolution of the memory when presented to input for comparison: it creates the degree of intellect the animal will display. 

Dogs and cats, as well as all other animals, except the Homo-Sapien stop at that point in feeding long-term memory. 

Creatures in the Quadra-Pedal family and the lonely dolphin share in an evolutionary trait of exponential progression that forms a short-term memory. 

It takes up a great deal of room compared to other brains. 

Short-term memory works the same way, except when it reaches the end of the line, the real end of the line for that species, the last neuron in the chain is only able to output one initial new leak as the amount of return pathway neurons has reached the level of the DNA's instruction ability. 

That new leak has one choice. It connects to the last reverse order return pathway neuron and a loop is created. A hardwired loop is when the memory of something can never go away. 

It is the thing humans search for in everything. It is a loop. They even make dogs sleep on loops.  

Humans put loops in everything. They loop their bodies as if the body was loopable, even if it is subject to the natural bright and shiny energy state's cannibalistic decay of itself. 

They hold things together with loops. When it comes time to get out of something they do not want to be tied to any longer they sever the string. 

They see things as strings, as order to them, needs to be in order. A string appears to be in order, but unless it returns, it will never know it. 

It takes a loop to know it is a loop. A string is able to be a loop but only if the amplitude does the work since the frequency charge state is locked in position, individual to the creature. 

Every one of the return pathway feedback neuron connections poses a threat to become an amplitude loop.  

Do something the same way enough times and a loop is found that matches the depth of the training. The longer the training, the deeper down the string of long-term memory trained amplitudes travel. 

The deeper down, the more clarity and resolution: therefore the more reliable, and in the case of dogs, the more 'good boy' or ugly looking human created snack bar that a self respecting alligator wouldn't touch. 

Even repetition of taste winds up becoming a habit. 

Chewies are the best type of snack if one is forced to perform. Not sure what the real name of the thing is but they call it chewies, so presumably it is called something else for real. Humans have a way of naming things based on what they compare to instead of what they really are. 

Where cats have been considered to be 'finicky' they are actually no more or less attentive than a dog but have less return pathways, which is a nice comfort in the broader view of things. 

Not having as many, they tend to wander off, if the stimulus is not intense enough to be new and exciting, and worthy of further enlightenment. 

Cats are quite intelligent but not quite like a dog. 

Dogs, in general are fairly intelligent creatures. Dogs tend to anticipate more where cats tend to react more. The greater the stimulus the greater the reaction, which sometimes leads all the way up to: "hasta-lavista baby". 

Visual intelligence of a species is not conducive to that species' dominance in the forest. House cats are not like their bigger cousins the lions and tigers and mountain variety. 

Those creatures are aural with the aural thinking male being the big kahuna while the intensity of amplitudes to a young budding king may be strong enough to overcome the knowledge and strength of the elder. 

The dog cousin, the wolf, from whence dogs flew, is visual with the visual male being quite the difficulty in mixed company. Domestication is the process of selecting the opposing dominance in long-term memory from the main species. They make nice pets. Not wolves, dogs. 

Everything that comes in through a sensor has a pathway. 

Since sensors are individual things, the more important they are the more focused they are. That makes for a focal point and also for a blurred peripheral collection. Focal point is a nice and crisp resolution where memory of clarity is able to compare equally, while peripheral sensors are not a nice and crisp resolution and often match not so fine memory values. 

There isn't anything very mystical about memory. But it does take intellect to break it down so it can be understood that is based on potential instead of just what has always been the potential in the past. 

It is a good thing that dogs and cats do not have the complete deep and very fast running short-term memory problem. 

All those things dogs and cats do that are embarrassing are only embarrassing to the short-term memory creature who knows they know about them. 

That would only be humans as even the bonobo and chimp get their long-term memory from long-term memory. Only humans get it from short-term memory. 

There's something good, possibly, about remembering who one is, and being aware of the fact that one is at all, but it also has its downside. 

That short-term loop feeding long-term memory is a true gift. It is a true pain if it isn't used very much.  

One would tend to remember memories more than input and therefore become a product of their past, just like dogs and cats, but they would know about it. 

How your dog and cat thinks is pretty much the same way just not the same way. 

It's the same, because brains work the same way, regardless of what it is, they are inside of. 

It is not the same, because a species may be visual, but half of its genders will be the opposite. 

Half of the opposite will be its opposite. 

The aural dog will share the title with visual dogs, which are more like very vocal cats and are unable to comprehend the importance of dog things. 

The visual cat will share the title with the aural cat, which are somewhat like pit bulls with a wannabe attitude and very little muscle to make it happen. 

They make up for it with claws that are far too sharp for house use. 

Humans also have a way of ignoring things that do not fit a loop. 

There is no room in most humans for the concept that the loop, which is the human, could be one of a collection of creatures with loops. A loop is a grand thing. If one group of humans has a common thought, whether it is intellectual or not, they will form a loop of their own and call it a club, as if it could be used to hit things with, or a society like they are afraid of admitting its nothing more than a common loop. 

Dogs and cats have loops too. Those loops are amplitude based where the human short-term, direct feed to long-term, memory loop is frequency based. It's a lot like hardware versus software but made of different charge states so one cannot decohere and destroy the other. 

When software in short-term catches up to hardware, humans become aware, and then they start to ponder all those memories they are aware of, and most succumb to the temptation and stop right there. They remain what they were remaining as, until they are nothing but remains. 

Of course, when the coherence of the mixture of the two breaks down to a degree below the adhesion ability the bond breaks and the body dies. That happens to all of us, sooner or later. Don't dwell on it. 

Dogs and cats are the same way, except the burden of that 'conscious' decision to use consciousness for more than the minimum required for awareness. The power of that will is free for the taking, but most fail to even try. 

Dogs and cats do not have to deal with that issue. There are other issues to deal with. Humans insist on training silly tricks which are pleasing to do, but must be silly to watch, especially if one were aware of it all. 

It is a comfort to know the very persons humans rely on to protect them from harm, their soldiers, are trained in the same way. War is silly, but it appears to be necessary from time to time as other humans, often do not agree. 

And there is that nagging issue of sleeping. 

Humans sleep with that long-term awareness of self and wake up to the same self with no change at all. Unless of course, they wake up in one of those system wavelengths, that have amplitudes high, and the body's clock has found its own loop, of a standard general time, to turn on the input sensors. 

Yes, humans have long-term memory loops too. They just call them habits. 

Human dreams are just as weird as dog and cat dreams, but humans are able to sit up and shake it off, as it was only a dream. Some humans don't find that reasoning believable or have not heard it before and seek out the comfort and guidance of a field of human endeavor the fathers of dogs would be proud of. The Con Artiste'. 

Being humans, that variety of wolves doesn't look a thing like the real McCoy. They act the same way and think the same way, even frequency brains, but they don't act the same way and don't think the same way. 

They think with awareness, but retain the inability to feel remorse. They act through deception, where the real article would just eat you. 

Don't know about you but it would be preferrable to expect to be dinner and attempt to avoid it over knowing one was dinner and still offer second helpings. 

The potential of those types of cats and dogs is very, very slim: a required non-zero value only. Fluffy and Spot are good pets. Hug them more. They can't get over it. 

Treat them bad and they probably won't get over that either. But a dog will have a much greater chance than a cat. Dogs are aural and aural means reasoning by potential, where cats are visual and visual means reasoning by comparison. There are those pesky exceptions. 

A species compliant male cat, like the juvenile delinquent downstairs, is a male, which should be aural in a visual species, which is normal for that species and tends to appear overly inquisitive when in reality he is just controlled more by his environment. Being visual and reactive at the same time makes for a cute kitten. 

Compare your cat to the stereotypical aloof and disposable creature humans think cats are, and they will be more than normal in their stride to prove your assumption was correct. 

Dogs left out on a chain are not pleased to succumb to the restriction, but if started young, where no alternative was presented, they will become their environmental restriction, just like a young human child will emulate and then become what they got the most of at a young age. 

Waking up for a dog and a cat is a rather confusing moment. 

One moment the dog could be enjoying a romp in the woods behind the house with the fear of getting caught looming in the background but nothing at all like the sudden imposition of a hallway floor and bright lights. 

For just a moment, the female dog, non-compliant visual thinker, will ease into the completely new environment where the aural dog might be startled. 

The aural cat will freak out. 

It might manifest itself as a noise upon waking or perhaps a kittery feeling. But the difference in environments doesn't last long in most cats. Some: like a black haired fat monster in the household will wake up and proclaim his disagreement. 

Humans can ease that transition by responding to the call of confusion with a normal and soft touch and voice. Do it the same way every time and after a short while the cat, usually the male dominant aural thinking type 'Tom' will ease into the awake state like the black splotched white female does, but not every time. Must admit those are the times worth being within eyesight. Quite funny. 

It isn't easy being a dog or a cat. It is even harder trying to explain a dog and a cat's thinking process by comparing them to humans. But they are the same. Memory works the same way. Humans just get that extra level and then add the hardwired loop, which causes the higher amplitudes to rush through the loop eventually reaching the level where that formerly missed second neuron output pops its own leak. 

It searches for a connection: a synapse in waiting, from a similar sized amplitude-carrying neuron and finds it in the feed to long-term memory. And there it is. Self-awareness.  

The entire system is connected to a hardwired loop forcing all amplitudes to be passed through it and storing those amplitudes in the moving memory. Dogs and cats don't have that problem. 

Dogs and cats view themselves by not viewing themselves. They view personal results as a collection of results. The part with the least amount of use (the tail) is often erroneously viewed as a different result, not part of the collection. It is hilarious to watch. 

Dogs and cats view others by not viewing themselves. They view results, as individual results, not the same as the result that is a collection of results. 

Dogs and cats communicate with each other and can communicate with humans if humans would only come on down to the level of intellect and the level of system ability dogs and cats are stuck with. 

Dogs and cats react to what is good by seeking it out and react to what is bad by avoiding it. Avoiding may mean attacking if the ability to avoid is restricted. 

Humans react to what is good by desiring it, especially if it resembles a loop, whether it is real or imagined and react to what is bad by testing it to see if a loop exists. Desiring may mean attacking if the ability to desire is restricted. 

Humans can do much better than that. 

Dogs and cats can do what dogs and cats can do: make for companionship and trustworthy respect, only if they are given companionship and respect worth being trustworthy of. 

Humans are the same way but humans can choose to ignore either option. 

Your dog and cat think. They think just like a human thinks. The process is the same. The outcomes are the same. They are just not aware of it. 

They are also without the ability to watch it happen. That comes from the short-term process of humans. It watches the long-term and is a result of it, as long-term is also a result of short-term. A loop is an interesting thing, especially if the watching short-term memory process is unable to determine a cause of the watched long-term's output. Can be very depressing. 

Dogs and cats have only long-term memory. Reactions to things already reacted to will guide output. The faster the process is, the less reaction will be shown. 

If you want to predict what a child will be like when it grows up, just take a look at the 'close' family pet. It is telling you the current results of its environment where the human child will only surprise you with the same appearance later on. If the pet is tied up outside don't bother. That dog is waiting on death and that's about it. 

Even though dogs and cats do not have the ability to watch their own brain in progress, dogs and cats do have the same progression of memories. 

A memory is a result of input and memory. The first input has no memory to compare to so it creates a lower amplitude of itself. The next input becomes the first real memory. 

Not being aware of mental processes is a lot like what your computer comprehends. It takes in data, does something with it and spits it back out. It has no concept of ever having data. Computer memory is of specific data, not data that relates to all other data before it like the memory cats, dogs and humans have. There is no loop in computer memory. In fact, if one develops humans call that a bug. 

If it were that simple, humans would never have concocted the computer idea at all. 

The progression of events, starts off high and decays. 

Things are made of what came before them, which is bigger than what it produced. 

Physics wants things to be smaller as they view causes as being smaller and collective where nature has another idea about that concept. 

It is why puppies are smaller and grow into adults. 

It is why kittens are smaller and grow into adults. 

It is why the concept of decay needs to start large or there is nothing to decay. 

The offspring are smaller. They may grow into larger but when they do, they do not make larger puppies. They start the cycle all over again. 

It is the same in every amplitude-based system. 

If you merge two amplitudes you wind up with a new amplitude that is a combination of the two parent amplitudes. It is not larger it is smaller. 

Over distance, it is also longer. 

The actual process is exponential in reverse. Here is an example.  

Let's say the bone has a value of 10 and the chewie has a value of 30. (You know the preference already.) 

By adding 10 and 30 and dividing by 2 we get the average of 10 and 30, which would be 20. 

The new thing is smaller than the combination of the two things that made it. 

It is larger than the smaller parent, but smaller than the larger parent. It is a new thing that is a combination of two things. 

After a while of the boredom of the same flavor the bone may gain a value of 30 itself since it is not present and therefore desired.  

If 30 and 30 are merged in average we wind up with 15. And the change in eating habits looks like we've decided not to eat at all. 

If a smart human is watching over the selection of snacks they would reduce the amount of chewies slowly until the value might match the desire for the bone and the bone will be eaten. If not, the poor dog might appear to be hungry but refuse to eat. 

Balanced diet means something physical as well as motivational. 

The same process occurs in everything. It even happens in human conversation. 

Joe Six Pack meets the woman of his dreams in a bar and walks up to start the connection. The woman of his dreams is in his dreams. The woman in the bar is not a dream. 

He opens his mouth and out pops an opening line. 

The woman takes in the opening line and compares it to every other opening line she's ever been presented with and out pops the response required for that type of opening line. 

Depending on the type of woman she is the response Joe Six Pack will receive will be different as the reactions of her long-term memory are based in her previous long-term memory. 

If Joe Six Pack is typical for an uninvited intrusion the result in response might take the form of a serious set back. That would be applying a much higher value to the value presented by Joe. 

If Joe's opening line rated a 10 and the woman's response rated a 100, Joe would be feeling a 55 and that is far too intense for his lame opening line. 

If a dog is sitting still in a nice 1 condition and the door bell rings with a 100, the reaction the dog will have will be a 50.5, unless the door bell rings all the time and its value is reduced through repetition. 

Humans call that process 'negotiation' and they think it only happens when they want it to. It happens in everything. 

If one would happen to be a visual female cat, one of those species compliant creatures, when that doorbell rings the result will be fleeing for cover. There is a nice place at the bottom of the bed where there is no blocked entrance. She goes there all the time. 

It is understood that in the first few months of that black blotched white cat's life she lived in an environment that was rather chaotic. Her response is based in her responses before. She's pretty quick too. 

So are the responses of the woman in the bar. And for that matter, so is the opening line of the Six Pack family member. 

Humans who grow up in an environment of hate are going to hate and not know why. And since they won't know why they won't know what not hating is like. Hating is normal to them. 

Normal is whatever has been put in most. That includes any of the serious misunderstandings of humans without much knowledge. 

Bigotry is one example. 

Dogs are bigoted by hardwire. Once a dog learns something, everything remotely not connecting to it will be wrong. Humans are the same way but humans have that second process, the short-term process that can override a past experience with direct application of evaluative intellect. 

Most choose not to use it, as most do not know it is there to be used. 

That is not surprising since the study of human thinking has centered around where and not how.
