Mental Models Latticework

Biological Parallel

Slime mold navigating a maze doesn't use one algorithm—it simultaneously deploys chemotaxis, fluid dynamics, oscillatory contractions, and network optimization. These mechanisms form an integrated system where each reinforces others, solving problems no single mechanism could. Munger's mental models latticework mirrors this multi-mechanism intelligence: interconnected frameworks from multiple disciplines solve complex problems better than any single model, creating cognitive resilience through redundancy.
