Henry David Thoreau is quoted to have said:
Nature abhors a vacuum, and if I can only walk with sufficient carelessness I am sure to be filled.
Isn't that at the core of spontaneous activation? Creating the framework for your mind to fill-in with preparing and previewing.
And if so, wouldn't that be why dreaming, image streaming or other suspension of consciousness states/processes allow your mind to fill-in the gaps?
So, wouldn't a good way of previewing be to really really tease your mind to the point where you were really wanting to read? Then, simply photoread and go to sleep or otherwise?
Any thoughts?
