3: Some weird logical inference type thought that is neither in a language nor visual, works by referencing what things are rather than word labels; it has no problem attaching what ever properties (like list of logical dependencies or feel of ‘likehood’) to statements. That’s what I try to think rationally with.
I might (or might not, depending on my understanding of your brief descritpion) also experience a very similar thinking process. It’s very powerful, but I’m not able to sustain it for a long time. It pops up when I’m speed reading but still want to retain maximum info, and when I try to quickly visualize a complicate process. It turned on when I decided to write this comment, giving me a kind of picture of the whole argument and “highlighting” a few words and expression that I could use in writing it. The actual process of writing the post goes through the internal monologue procedure, but with actually 3 monologues going on at the same time:
me reading the post
me “commenting” the post
me considering possible translation of the post in my home language
I think that’s the same thing. For me the 3 wanders a fair bit, and its hard to reflect on 3.
When I was in school, I could have exam where 3 works on exam, and I ace it, or when 3 tries to think why 3 is not working on exam, and do ok-ish or poorly.
Now that I am working for myself as programmer, the 3 corresponds to un-reflective state of mind when work is progressing well and you are not being distracted by seeing yourself think about it.
