Experience is a general term used for describing "street smarts," often further into mastering an area of learning, and after the educational, "book learning" parts. It often takes us from novice to expert at something. However, in Romantic Dynamics, we use experience specifically as a way of describing the kind of data that we take in, learn, amalgamate and arrange in various branch points of association with other learning we have done, accessible to our "Right Brain," much like the internet is accessible to us. This is a type of data, then, that fills our memory and our intellectual apparatus responsible for creativity, art, multifactorial learning, and "parallel processing" of information. Think like an surfer, not an accountant.
Experience is like the data "substance" that fills the "tank," which we call the Right Brain. It is street smarts, future-based, and helps us in steering ourselves toward goals with an ability at adaptibility, flexibility, efficiency by risk reduction and creative changes of strategy toward our goals (much like a successful surfer.)

In Romantic Dynamics, we use the model of flying an airplane with a pilot who is "right-brained." He or she will tend to fly all kinds of zany, exploratory directions, forgetting all about the original destination, sometimes without regard to timeliness, accuracy or specific goals and times to reach goals. However, such a "pilot" would be adaptable and gifted at avoiding foul weather, turbulence and congestion of traffic along the way. It is flexible thinking, but has a flaw in its lack of accuracy, timeliness, efficient allocation of resources and yet is priceless as a strength in getting all the way to our goals, through circumstances we often do not control.
