Book 4. The Physics of the Realities. Afterword with the prospect of continuing... 402 trails of animals. Etologists know it inside out. And any "not a biologist", but an owner of a cat, a dog, a parrot, etc. is familiar with conservatism that manifests animals’ bias. When you bring a kitten home, it begins to explore step by step the unfamiliar and therefore dangerously hostile surroundings. The first few days it is easy to see that the newcomer has become comfortable, more confident, and calmer and feels free. But, if you look closely, it's easy to see that it moves around the apartment (house) on strictly defined "paths", it does not sleep anywhere, but in one or two "favorite" places, it plays with one or two things, etc. This is by no means an accident, as well as many of children "habits" are not accidental – millions of invented rituals that we surrounded ourselves in childhood (favorite cup, "happy" pen, not stepping on asphalt cracks and etc). Try to change imperceptibly a couple of details in what has become a ritual for one- year-old child... If you do not read the "beloved" tale, change a couple of words in a favorite poem, or put on a hat in a slightly different way – the indignation will fall on the offender immediately, and the order will be restored. And, at last, rituals for adults are an integral part of their life, they are much more for them than for hare – just a chance to survive in the woods – there are more chances if you run the way you used to the last three (thirty- three) times without losses, and on the path where the fox was seen yesterday – never again. We have now considered bias exactly AS AN OPTION TO INCREASE THE CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL, rummaging a little in our worldly observations. And the conclusion is simple: bias, taken by us as a kind of conservatism in behavior, is an "inheritance" that allows us, under certain conditions, to save life. You won’t set the Thames on fire, but if you always "walk on one trusted path" – you have some guarantee of security and a sense of confidence. We omit the details. Let's turn to more “common” and "modern" things. Imagine – a person mastering a computer. There is a very simple task for him – to create a text file. Suppose he created this file in the word processor, opened it and saved it through the menu with the proposed name "Document 1". The task is fulfilled. In the near future (for someone these are minutes and hours, and for others – years), bias will manifest itself to the full extent – this person will create a text file exactly this way – known to him, reliable and effective. And if he teaches someone, he will teach only this method being sure of his competency and responsibility. But there are a lot of other possibilities to create the notorious text file. Their mastering does not negate the advisability of using the first method, but it provides ample
