Calculus of predispositions

Hi little one! Do you know what calculus is? It's like a special kind of math that helps us understand how things change over time. And do you know what predispositions are? They are things that make you more likely to do something in the future.

So when we talk about the calculus of predispositions, we are using math to try to figure out how likely you are to do something in the future based on things that have happened in the past. For example, if you have always done well in math class, you might be more likely to do well on a math test in the future.

Using calculus, we can create equations that take into account all the different factors that might affect your predisposition to do something. We plug in numbers for each factor and then use the equation to predict how likely you are to do that thing in the future.

Overall, the calculus of predispositions helps us to understand human behavior in a more scientific way. By studying the past and using math to make predictions about the future, we can make better decisions and understand ourselves and others more fully.
