Context: humans and the memory

This is a generalization to the previous post:

Human beings operate within their context… this context or surrounding could be categorized by below mentioned two perspectives
1. Physical/Mental:
Objects and concepts from the world i.e. the physical context are conceived by the brain (with a certain perspective and including some loss of information) and thus brought into the mental context which becomes a part of our personal memory.

2. Active/Passive:
Every thing which is present in the context (physical or mental) is not always needed; content frequently used by the brain belongs to the active context. Information from the passive context if needed - is brought into active context first (by remembering, searching or otherwise) and used afterwards.

Perspective: as a basis for Categorization

Acquiring a global perspective for categorization of localized concepts is really incomprehensible for human brain. This is why we usually try to categorize objects by more than one localized perspectives, after some time it becomes a jungle…
