You know how some tribes have a strong sense of orientation and navigate using cardinal directions?

I want to try to obtain this sense.

I made a page that makes a sound every time I face North; and, in intervals, directional sounds coming from where North is.

Will that work?

Note: I’ll resolve this very subjectively, something like whether I’m aware of the cardinal directions and can navigate using them/track them after looking at a compass once.

  • Update 2025-05-13 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified that the resolution will consider:

    • Whether they learn the skill by using an amount of effort they find reasonable to put into it.

    • This will factor into their subjective assessment of whether the proposed learning method works for them.

  • Update 2025-05-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): * The market is not a prediction of the creator's time commitment or dedication, but rather whether the learning method itself will work for them. This determination is subject to the creator applying what they consider a reasonable amount of effort, as previously clarified.

    • The creator may resolve to N/A if personal acquaintances convince them their overall handling or interpretation of this market is incorrect.

  • Update 2025-06-12 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has clarified that their current level of ability, while showing progress, is not yet sufficient for a YES resolution. Specific examples of abilities that are currently considered insufficient for a "Yes" include:

    • Successfully sensing the direction of North in an unfamiliar airport after briefly viewing a map (e.g., 10 minutes prior).

    • Precisely remembering the direction of North in familiar locations where their app was used.

The creator stated, "It’s far from the level I’d want to resolve this to Yes at but there’s clearly progress."
