That didn't work either, but this looked promising.

Okay, so now I need to go back and in my mind's eye, update the setup.

And now let me try this.

So it's a lot of holding things in your working memory and keeping them loaded while you try an extension and then evaluating how that worked without.

And so it requires just internal concentration, which isn't pleasant.

But in neuro-semantic coherence, it's all this happening in your world.

You know, is that in-depth proof?

So maybe that's what we should be pitching here.

what people should be looking for is, yeah, forget flow, but also remember like this default where you're like the rescue time data set participants checking email once every five minutes, that's cognitive nonsense.

That's crazy.

That's like you're trying to, you know, play football and you're covering over one of your eyes and wearing like a 50 pound rucksack on.

You're just like handicapping your abilities here for no reason, right?

So what's in between is this idea and that requires focus, you know, it requires deep work.

Just that exactly explains sort of my experience and the way I think about it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because it takes time to load up the sort of relevant, the secondary and tertiary semantic ideas.

And now they're there.

It's like you can pull from them.

And then as you shift, you have to sort of shift this whole thing around.
