Map legs to holes. Wrong legs-to-holes? 180 about Z. Inside out? Flip along Z, 180 about Y. Repeat until satisfied. Profit.
I’m rephrasing
I tend to think of things in motion before I fully understand them in their static forms
As “I think of solutions before thinking of desirable outcomes or the current situation”. It sounds like a small, silly example of premature solution-generating, keyed deep into System 1. Fascinating.
Maybe a solution is to train “what outcome do I want?” to be primed by any moment of confusion. Since the principle scales to more considerable problems, having it as a knee-jerk reaction could be worthwhile.
I’m not sure this is bad. In my research (and in everyday life), often the best solution is to try to do something, anything, just perturb the system in some way to see what happens, because I find you often need a vector to start optimizing and correcting. Often I find what a desirable outcome is by taking the action of putting things in motion or thinking of them in motion.
True. Legs-to-holes is what I use to skip steps. Only two holes, can only be approached from one direction. What particular acrobatic is needed to get the first leg in right? Once you’ve made a mistake, of course, back-to-front is what will tip you off.
(It really is. The above is something I only just fully realized I did.)

(This is a very strange discussion to be having.)
I’m not sure this is generally readily observable. Inside-out-ness and back-to-front-ness are much more so.
