Hello I’m Fukutopia, Concept Executive Officer of Istpika.
I have an interest in psychology and often take time to enjoy reverse engineering my own personal thought patterns.
The other day I had an ahuh moment.
I theorise that there are two working registers and one destination register in the human brain.
The old “mega drive by Sega “had a 16bit cpu with a 68000motorola in it, what a machine. When I had to program in assembler some multiplication there was a very useful MULU feature with mnemonics that could do great things. D0xD1=D2 was possible but D1xD2+D3 was not. Well, with a little fudging maybe.
In the same way, when doing mental calculations we can do Axb but AxBxC takes a little more effort and doesn’t come immediately. Similarly, 1+1+2 -> 1+1 gets processed and then we add 2 I think.
Please have a go.
How was it? Can you do 3 calculations at once?
So I conclude that make no mistake, the human brain has 2 working registers and one destination.
* A register is a location where values are placed for the purposes of calculation. The amount of registers differs with each machine. The famicon only has one and is hard work!
