A. Knowledge
Our brain faces several challenges and problems throughout our life, as well as on a daily basis. It learns from the experience, through reading, and from interactions with others.
Over a period of time the information becomes so much and so many that without proper indexing, clustering, and contextualizing, information retrieval becomes a major problem for the brain.
How the brain stores, adds, eliminates, updates, retrieves, and connects one piece of information to another determines the ability of the brain to solve a problem with what it already knows.
B. Primary Ways of Problem-Solving
a) Tools
b) Energy
c) Resources
d) Task
e) Observation
So in order to solve any primary problems of life(survive, thrive, and reproduce), the brain has to have the available resource, some tools to perform certain tasks to utilize the resources to solve the problem, and energy to solve the problem.
For example, if you are hungry, you go to the kitchen. This is your resource center. You look for available vegetables in the refrigerator. You first determine if the available resources are enough to cook something that will help you make a full meal(observation).
If you have the resources(oil, vegetables, spice, salt, and all necessary ingredients), then you use a knife(a tool) to chop the vegetables(available resource). Chopping is a task.
Then you heat up the pan(tool) on the stove(Energy). Heating is a task. You put oil(resource) on the pan(another task).
You put spices(resources), and steer(a task). When you know that the spices are fried enough(observation), you put the chopped vegetables on the oil and spice combination(another task), and you start steering with a spatula(tool) to perform another task. When the chopped vegetable is fried enough(observation), you put some water(resource), reduce the flame(task), and put a cover(tool) on the pan(task).
After some time, you open the cover to see if the vegetable dish is cooked and ready(observation). Then you turn off the flame(all tasks completed) and the solution is ready for the problem of hunger.
For the entire process, you also need energy to complete all the tasks.
