How Advanced Is A Tulpa's Knowledge?

[The_Unnamed]

This question has been bugging me out for a while.

I'm curious to know how advanced a tulpa's knowledge is. When a human is born, it takes a couple to a few years to build cognitive ability to speak and understand. But once a tulpa is created, does it already know what the host knows? 

For example, if the host studies alot of biology--does the tulpa know immediately about it?

[Lucilyn]

generally yes

 

some systems are different with how separate their knowledge and thoughts are, but for the most part tulpas know anything you know. It's how they use that information that differs

You share the same brain, so yes, the tulpa is going to know everything that the host does.

This is true for me, but I have heard of lots of tulpas with varying knowledge. A prime example being that it takes most tulpas a while to get the hang of controlling their body, and their handwriting is a mess for a while.

 

A tulpa can learn things very fast from your memory usually, so for most, the gap fades over time.

Sharing a brain is not the same as sharing knowledge.

 

My tulpa's knowledge is completely separate from mine. She has an IQ of about 102, over 20 points below mine, and knows only a basic set of knowledge that she had when she was created, and what she learned from me and reality since. It is not possible for her to know anything close to the amount I know, nor is it possible for her to access my memories (or vice versa) in any way. She is also somewhat forgetful.

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it for my system.

Sometimes they know junk, sometimes I have to tell them.

I will say that they learn insanely quickly compared to a human.

I rarely need to explain something twice, and sometimes they'll figure it out before I'm even finished explaining.

some chalupas know far more than we ever could

 

as persons of the mind, they grow and thrive in a neural-network we could not otherwise understand.

Going into learning theory, it is likely that a tulpa will share a learning style with you. This means, however you best learn things, they best learn things. People teach things instinctively how they best learn things. So a tulpa will probably always appear to learn extremely fast when it is you teaching them.

 

The above is a theory.

[Tri] The level of knowledge and skill sharing, just like memory sharing, is quite variable between systems. Learning styles tend to be similar but there can be differences. Funny story, but we can learn languages significantly easier than Hail but by the next day all the knowledge we gain is then accessible to her.

[Ponytail]

To provide another theory: Memories are not actually physical parts of the brain. Memories are actually strengthened neural pathways in your head. As horrible as that one Wolverine origin story movie is, they got the science of getting shot in the head right. The brain will heal but the memories will be gone. It's also why memories are so easy to make up and lose, it's the strength of neural pathway and you can (un)willingly strengthen those or have them starve and the connection begins to falter.

 

Following this though, when your thoughts travel along these memories, I imagine it's something like shining a flashlight somewhere they've never looked before. It's all there, perfectly understood for them already, they just didn't know where to look.

 

Granted, I actually know very little about all of this as I can't hear my tulpa yet, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
