Bar theory

Bar theory, often referred to in the context of knowledge representation, suggests that information is organized and stored in the brain through a series of interconnected "bars" or categories. Each bar represents a specific piece of knowledge or concept, with associations to related bars. When we retrieve information, we essentially move along these connections, drawing from various points of knowledge. This theory helps explain how we learn, remember, and relate different pieces of information, emphasizing the networked nature of our understanding, rather than viewing knowledge as isolated facts.
