How many latent variables does a human world model have? How many possible values can each of these variables take?

The combinatorial structure of language and tech for outsourcing storage makes that number enormous. Some people have filled entire books about the world. Most of the instantiated variables might have 5-20 possible states, e.g. variables for probability: https://github.com/zonination/perceptions …

It is clear that we can create external world models, that we can hold quite complex thoughts in our mind to interpret our perception, and that a lot of our perception is affected by marginal variables. But I am curious how many variables an average human brain represents.
