Understanding Understanding

Human language is a key to understanding 'understanding'. In the previous paragraph golfing was mentioned. Golfing is an understanding and like a computer program on disk it is written in procedural knowledge. When you are golfing you are using that understanding, giving it energy to operate as you follow a procedure to play golf. In the English language words ending with 'ing' are indicative of understandings.

Here is a list of common understandings that most humans have: Eating, Sleeping, Seeing, Hearing, Breathing, Walking, Talking, Tasting, Smelling, Running, Throwing, Chewing, Swallowing, Kicking, Hitting, Cutting, Rolling, Watching, Loving, Praying, Writing, Reading, etc. There are hundreds more of these common understandings but you can't run them all at once. It is unlikely you eat and sleep at the same time but you can eat and walk at the same time. Humans are multi-tasking to some degree but there is a limit to which understandings can be operated concurrently. It generally takes multiple understanding engines to run multiple understanding processes at the same time.
