Most of us are aware of several of the more than 38 kinds of thinking people say are important:

Critical Thinking, Emotional Intelligence, Creative Thinking, Growth Mindset, Design Thinking, Leadership Thinking, Problem Solving Thinking, Strategic Thinking, Systems Thinking, Analytical Thinking, General Intelligence, Interpersonal Intelligence, Intrapersonal Intelligence, Grit, Resilience, Anti-fragility, Scientific Thinking, Fast/Slow Thinking, Convergent/Divergent Thinking, Lateral Thinking, Reflective Thinking, Abstract Thinking, Inductive Thinking, Deductive Thinking, Situational Thinking, Clear Thinking, Complexity Thinking, Ecological Thinking, Adaptive Thinking, Enterprise Thinking, Thinking Like a Scientist, Synthetic Thinking, Interdisciplinary Thinking, Prosocial Thinking, Bias.

From a scientific perspective, and from the perspective of your brain, there is just one kind of thinking. And, research shows there are four patterns of thinking (DSRP) that underlie all of these 38 types of thinking. Research also shows that being aware of how we think (what scientists call "metacognition") is critically important to success in all domains. So, make yourself aware of  these 4 DSRP Patterns, you'll get all of the 38 thinking skills above, for "free."

Memorizing the four patterns and 8 elements of DSRP will significantly increase your speed and agility when practicing the moves. Below is a table of the four patterns and eight elements of DSRP. This table simply gives the definitions for the four patterns. In other words: a distinction is simply the interaction between identity and other; a system is the interaction between part and whole; a relationship is the interaction between an action and a reaction, and; a perspective is the interaction between a point (observer) and a view (observed).

• 483: 483 Refers to the 4 Patterns of Organization (DSRP), their 8 Elements (iopwarpv), and their 3 Dynamics (=⇔✷).
• The 4 Organization Patterns (DSRP): There are four ways we organize information into meaning. We: define Distinctions, sort Systems, recognize Relationships, and take Perspectives. This is called DSRP.
• The Equality Dynamic (=): The Equality Dynamic states that each pattern of organization is equal to two coimplying elements. This means, for example, that when we say Distinction, we are referring to both of these coimplying elements.
• The 8 Organizing Elements (iopwarvp): The 8 Elements are made up of four tangible and four intangible elements. The visible and invisible refers to the tendency for them to be acknowledged more or less in one’s thinking but is not an indication of their importance. The 8 elements are iopwarvp. 
• The Co-implication Dynamic (⇔): The Co-implication Dynamic states that if one element exists, the other element exists. This is extremely important because it tells you that the opposing element exists whether or not you or others recognize it, see it, or acknowledge it. This rule is critically important in making predictions about the world.
• The Simultaneity Dynamic (✷): The Simultaneity Dynamic or the “Eightfold Path” states that anytime an element exists, it also exists simultaneously as any of the other 7 elements. This rule is often misinterpreted to mean that one must therefore consciously recognize all of those paths, which is not the case. This rule is critically important in making predictions about the world, but also realizing how little of the world your thinking models actually capture.
• =⇔✷ If you know, you know…: This saying means that if you understand the 3 Dynamics of DSRP (Equality (=), Coimplication (⇔), and Simultaneity (✷)) then you understand something few people do and as a result, you likely see the world in a completely different and revealing way.
