I've found that if one looks at the particular areas of life where they most use the "Analyze Feature" of their mind ...that observation, can provide greater understanding of one's self relative to others

It appears as though some folks analyze small segments(areas) of the "Spectrum of possibilities", a spectrum that ranges from analyzing at sub-atomic levels on one hand...all the way up to the Universe and beyond on the other, while other folks analyze larger "Areas" of "The spectrum of Possibilities" while folks like the painter, the composer and other members of the "Creative Arts" which includes certain individuals involved in " The Art of Scientific endeavor" are constantly involved in trying to analyze "the entire Spectrum of Possibilities".

"Analyzing", is the "Mental Feature" that leads to understanding and the degree of understanding in any individual is directly dependent upon the "Area" of the spectrum being analyzed.

Well there you have LaLepop's analysis of analysis as it relates to the "Mental Feature" itself , as well as to the "Spectrum of Possibilities" that analysis has to analyze and, as well,  the "individual's role" in a total effort to understand through analysis.

You see, to the degree that, not unlike gold, understanding,  when refined, by the processes involved in our "Analyze function" winds up in the long run far more valuable than gold to the individual and the planet.
