Knowledge is an awareness gained by experience. To be aware is to be conscious of something. How much knowledge you have will affect your ability to perceive actual real time facts about what the machine is doing. Awareness and knowledge are the same. Impossible to disregard. Understanding separates theory from practice. To have a good understanding does not take much conscious thought. The effect is a reduction of psychological hindrances such as anticipation my Jedi Understanding comes from knowledge. Knowledge is an awareness gained by experience.

Aren't they the same thing. Maybe you are confusing having knowledge of these built in anticipations, with understanding of them, knowledge and understanding arent the same thing my child Michelle said ‘I don’t think that you can be aware of the built in anticipation, and therefore disregard it, but it would certainly be an advantage to have an understanding of it’

The right kind of understanding anyway.

I mean hindrances like self protective processes, survival instincts, caveman stuff. And is anticipation a psychological hindrance to riding fast... we have an expectation of result before we take action- and that expectation clouds our perception. Like you say, a racer is often riding according to where he thinks he should be, rather than where he actually is...therefore he isnt as quick. A riders thinking seperates him from reality, and that seperation shows in the laptime. Is it possible for us human racers, to use anticipation when it is technically necessary, but be free of it also...so that we can perceive actual realtime facts of what the machine is doing? And can you be aware of the built in anticipation, and therefore disregard it? So, you are saying that to ride well, you need to be free of psychological hindrances.

It's like lifting empty cardboard TV box - you think it's heavy and you prepare yourself. And then, whatta suprise, it's so light. Same thing is on the track. You brake and you have a general idea, where you end up. You steer and have a general idea, where the bike takes you. The problem is, when it doesn't. And usually it doesn't. And that leads you to correct the manuever. Over and over. Pro racer does about 1000 decisions per lap. Beginner - 3000. Do not anticipate. Plan ahead and execute. What they said in Matrix - "don't think you are. Know you are."
