model is low resolution but upgradeable

      Our internal model of the outside world allows us to get a quick sense of our environment. And that is its primary function – to navigate the world. What’s not always obvious is how much of the finer detail the brain leaves out. We have the illusion that we’re taking in the world around us in great detail. But as an experiment from the 1960s shows, we aren’t.
