Well, probably perhaps part of that discomfort. So Carl Friston, we did some work in this regard too. Carl Friston has associated... negative emotion, anxiety more specifically, with high entropy states. And you can think about a high entropy state as a state of navigation where a very large number of pathways are potentially open to you.

So if you open Pandora's box, if you move away from a determinate goal and you open Pandora's box, which is what direction should I go, then that is anxiety-provoking because there's a multitude of possibilities that beckon. Now, there's opportunity in that, but it can easily overwhelm you, especially if you're tilted more strongly towards negative emotion, let's say.

So the problem with opening up a space of contemplation is that open spaces are unprotected and high entropy. And so there's negative emotion. Well, that's why we know, too, that the default emotion associated with right hemisphere activation is negative emotion.
