Have you noticed that shape rotation ability and decoupling ability are correlated? I don't think this is a coincidence. The gestalt generator (the part of your brain that is looking for patterns it recognizes on the denoised sensory stream) is quite sticky. You can only rotate the underlying datastructure if your gestalt generator doesn't latch on to its projections. So having less sticky gestalts is both a predictor of being better at rotating shapes and at decoupling variables. I think there's a deep connection here.
@algekalipso For real tho @algekalipso I was in the middle of writing an essay about rotating data structures as a crucial 21st Century skill set when I took a look at Twitter and this was at the top of my feed https://t.co/LTQkKxhoyf
