Mind

Here's what I think I think in late November 2025:Mind is the seat of Imagination and is the locus of thought ...a cascade of words; and visual thinking; ...drawing upon memory; ...receiving incoming information via the several senses; and making Sense, sense-making. Cue Gahan Wilson

Constructing and elaborating and refining a world model.

Fashioning stars out of dog dung.That is the Great Work.
