The attribute I talk about in my article is multivalued. Attribute is the word that describes something that is two or more. If you think of all the things that we do are multi-valued, then you have to have a thought from time to time.
The multivalued attribute is one of the ways our minds can create multidimensionality. If you’re interested in the history of the word multivalued, I recommend that you read a bit about Richard Dawkins’s essay “A Natural History of Multidimensionality.
Multivalued attributes are, and I suspect it has been for a long time, the most common kind of attribute. Think of a set of attributes that represent something that can be multi-valued, like a person’s personality or a company’s value in the marketplace.
Multivalued attributes are a little different from other types of attributes. They are a function of the way our brains create a more complex representation. So for instance, if you have a set of multiple “good” values, your brain can use those multiple values to describe a person. In this case, all you have are two values. But if you have a set of more than two values, your brain can add more and more numbers to your description.
You can think of multivalued attributes as a sort of map of the personality of a person. It’s a function of the way we interact with our brain and our ability to make decisions based on that information. Think of a person’s personality.
So how do you make a good choice based on multivalued attributes? First, you need to understand the nature of multivalued attributes. If you’ve ever studied psychology, you’ll know that the word “multivalued” means “more than one thing” and that it implies many different things. So the first thing that’s important to understand is that we can have more than two values.
Its not like there are only two ways to accomplish something. If you take a look at a tree, it can have many different kinds of branches. If you add two or more branches, they become more than just branches. You can have different shapes, styles, and colors in order to make a tree look really good.
Basically, a value is a value. If we take a look at a tree, we can be more than just a tree. We can have more than two different values. We can have a value of size, a value of color, a value of bark, a value of branches, and a value of foliage.
We often think we need to be more than a tree. We sometimes think we need to be a tree with a value of size, a value of bark, a value of branches, a value of foliage, a value of height, a value of leaves, a value of shade, a value of size, and a value of age.
But in reality, we are more than a tree.
