Crossing wildlife

 

Rules are the language of system 2.
Symbols are the language of system 1.

The sign above shows a deer crossing the road. The deer stands symbol for "any wildlife". It means that you can expect mooses or swines too. The symbol is a summarization of all wildlife. All wildlife is the generalization of the deer.

For tactics, we need a database with symbols. A position can act as a symbol. The position is a summarization of all positions with similar tactics. What we must learn to do during study time, is to summarize the combination into a single symbol. Having faith that system 1 is perfectly capable to recognize similar positions "in the wild". Thus generalizing a single instance into "all similar combinations".

In fact, you can expect anything to cross the road.
