Mental models are blueprints we are able to use in a variety of contexts to create sense of the world, interpret information correctly, and understand our context. They provide us predictable outcomes. A recipe may be the most basic type of mental model; each component has its role, period, and place. Nevertheless, a recipe isn't applicable to anything beyond your realm of food. Therefore, we find ourselves ready of attempting to learn a wide variety of mental versions (or latticework, as Charlie Munger places it) to get ready ourselves for whatever will come our method.
