"What do you mean by that?" Nila said.
"Sort of like… We can hold two thoughts in our head, but the value of those two thoughts is different?" Oliver said.
"I still don't get what you mean," Nila said.
"Like, a rabbit is one bit of information, a cow is another bit of information, and a horse another. If you went through like ten different animals, and had to hold them in order, that would be pretty hard to do," Oliver said.
"Right…" Nila said, trying to imagine it in her head, and indeed struggling.
"But two more complicated thoughts are easy to hold in your head. Like, I don't know, 'attack the left flank' for the first thought, it's pretty broad reaching, and you can attach a lot of things to it, and 'hold the centre,' is also pretty broad. You don't need to remember every little bit of information, you just focus on those two general concepts, and do the best you can, and you find things aren't so overwhelming," Oliver said.
