Story-type models can be used as a source of information to make or develop, off-line, normal models. Any element of such models can be developed as a normal model later.
Although many people use this type of interaction with the external reality, this mode of interaction is not efficient and uses a lot of the limited resources of the brain.
Indeed, a story-type-model records the information in an explicit way, about the same way as it is recorded on a tape-recorder. This mode is a very primitive way of recording data. A normal model can generate a huge quantity of information by simulation. Such information is not recorded there in an explicit way.
Even more, a story-type model introduces non-normal relations between some elements. As we know, a story-type model is made by elements connected between them in the order of occurrence. So, two elements, which could have no connection between them, could be recorded with a relation between them if they occurred together. Anyway, there is no control and no long-range model to control the recording of a story-type model.
Unfortunately, such models are very spread out all over the world, due to the fact that there is too much information, and due to some big deficiencies of the education policy.
So, an education based on normal models will reduce very much the quantity of information, which has to be processed by a brain. The present education policy is based on assimilation of external models. That is, the capacity to build models is not used. So, faced with a huge quantity of information, the population is forced to make story-type models. This will reduce even more the capacity of the population to make normal models.
Example: a taxi driver must know any route in a city. There is a huge number of such routes and he has to learn each, both directions. If the normal model of the city is learned, then that taxi driver is able to find a route in any conditions. Except for the normal model of the city, it is not necessary to learn anything else. By story-type models (to learn routes) he has to increase the quantity of information with every new route. This is an example, but the situation is met in almost any field of activity. In practice, both methods are used.
Story-type models developed as long-range models are very dangerous, because they can stimulate induced-paranoia (XIP) or a schizophrenic-paranoiac complex (XSPC). This is so because a story-type model has special relations between its elements. Such relations are generated by the arbitrary occurrence of the elements and thus, to transform the story-type model into a family of normal models becomes difficult (the brain has to build from scratch several new normal models, based on the information generated by a story-type model, and this is not easy).
The story-type models are integrated in the normal structure of models and they are controlled by that structure.
