Fantastic visual representation of solving a Rubik’s cube.
I would kill to have this level of mental modelling. https://v.nostr.build/Q1ybNvPlTNmu9k0N.mp4

This is sooo Cool!
I'm really good at "mental modeling" (don't remember the technical name) but not on that level with similar parts. My brain would need parts that were more different (size, shape) to help keep them separated and categorized. I can even run simulations similar to the animation you posted.
I posted a review of a book called Peak in which the author trained a guy to memorise digits. He did it by encoding sequence chunks and using mnemonics.
That book also references Moonwalking with Einstein which you might also like - the author taught himself how to memorise in one year and won the world championship at the end of it. He was doing memory palace techniques to memorise decks of cards for example.
Basically if you have the ability to do this stuff then you can encode and abstract the components into something that works for your mind.
I don’t have the spatial capacity to do this particular kind of rotating, could probably train it but it’s not useful to me now.
Completely understand.
No, the rotating is setup more for data purposes and definitely not in 2 dimensional. Reminds me of the slide of hand trick. There would be little to no use converting it to 2 dimensional when 3 dimensional is so much faster.
So you can see it in the 3 dimensional exploded view also.
Now can you see detail in each piece, color, texture, and material?
Can you then fit them together?
Can you do it as an animation with movement going forward and back in time? It's like watching a movie in reverse. Kind of sucks but is functional enough to find errors in the assemble.
I guess for a simple exercise would be to imagine the Rubik's cube just coming straight apart in all directions and each cube being independent in the spherical 3 dimensional space.
Shit, I was suppose to simplify it. 🤦♂️
Ya, my block rotation and mix isn't the greatest. I get as far as dropping a bunch of shit in a box and shaking it up essentially.
