A Foundation of Principles for Expanding Habitual Domains

A human brain is like a super Computer (Hardware) and has practically unlimited potential capacity. However, because of their habitual patterns of thinking (Software), people use only a very small percentage of the capacity. Their ability for effective problem-solving very much relies on how they Up-grade the Software and break undesirable and inefficient habits. Habitual domain studies aim at providing general principles, techniques, and theoretical foundations of how to expand and enrich habitual domains. In this paper, we show the importance of studying habitual domains using familiar examples. We introduce basic concepts of the habilual domain theory. We present three of the most commonly used principles of expanding habitual domains. Finally. as a new conttibution of this paper. we present a theoretical Interpre-tation of the principles using the notion of activation probabilities and attention spectra.
