FACTORS
Definition
A circumstance, fact, or influence that contributes to a result.
Description
A factor can be seen in two ways. Primarily, there are two types of factors, abstract factors and physical factors.The physical factors can include anything made of atoms or from energetic forms such as the electromagnetic spectrum. Abstract factors cannot be interacted with in any form and represent the thoughts, ideas and concepts that exist. I will categorise factors into three categories; the first being the environment, which includes matter, life and energy. The second being systems, which includes open systems, closed systems and isolated systems. The third being human inventions, which do comprise of the environment and systems, but are ultimately created by us, and therefore does not constitute as naturally occurring in the environment, or as a natural system. Each of these categories can have abstract and physical parts to them.

Why do we need to comprehend Factors?
Living beings tend to focus on the things that trigger their stimuli, and in turn, allow the being to react to the stimuli. Life forms tend to ignore the abstract parts of our reality that have a greater influence than the physical environment itself.
This is why it is important to not only comprehend the abstract part of our reality, but to also correlate the connections between the abstract and the environment.
What are the applications for
comprehending Factors?
Let’s take schools as an example. The classrooms, the environment, has changed over the years, with different desks, cleaner environments, less paper and more electrical equipment.
But the way in which people attempt to learn in schools has hardly changed since the beginning of last century.
This is mainly because the purpose of the system of education is not to teach the children how to learn, but to enforce compliance and obedience.
The way in which people learn how to learn is to practice a subject first, and then teach others, of the things you have learned, while you were practicing the subject.
By practicing and teaching, there is a feedback loop in which the person can physically perform a task, and then communicate their comprehension and approach on the subject to others, allowing not only that person to make mistakes, but to also form bonds to the people around them.
This would also mean that the environment, or the classrooms, would have to change and adapt, so that people can learn effectively by switching continuously throughout the day between practicing and teaching others.
The role of the teacher would also have to be completely redesigned from the ground up to allow the students to practice and teach others.
By examining the environment and the system, both individually and interchangeably, they can organically change together to fulfill the purpose that both the environment and the system are trying to achieve, which is to guide others to learn how to learn
