The more models you have-the bigger your toolbox-the more likely you are to have the right models to see reality. The quality of our thinking is proportional to the models in our head and their usefulness in the situation at hand. We cannot keep all of the details of the world in our brains, so we use models to simplify the complex into understandable and organizable chunks. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason.Ī mental model is simply a representation of how something works. Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. "How did the man do it?"Ĭonor could feel the monster close behind him, knew that it was kneeling, knew that it was putting its face up to his ear to whisper into in, to tell him the rest of the story.Mental models are how we understand the world. "How?" Conor asked, breathing heavily again, not turning back to see the monster standing there, not looking at the reaction of the room to the huge monster now in the midst, though he was aware of nervous murmurs and a strange anticipation in the air. "Quit messing about," Harry said and turned away again.Īnd then one day the invisible man decided, the monster said, its voice ringing in Conor's ears, I will make them see me. Harry pretended to question what had happened, looking hard at Sully, acting like he was the one who'd done it. The dining hall had fallen silent now, as Conor and the monster moved faster after Harry.Ĭonor reached him and grabbed him by the shoulder, twisting him round. Neither did Sully nor Anton, though thet were still sniggering as Conor picked up his pace.Īnd if no one sees you, the monster said, picking up its pace, too, are you really there at all? It was that the people had become used to not seeing him.
It was not that he was actually invisible, the monster said, following Conor, the room volume dropping as they passed.
“ There was once an invisible man, the monster continued, though Conor kept his eyes firmly on Harry, who had grown tired of being unseen.
