Gestalt Processing · how I describe my thinking · VisionQuest.LTD lexicon
I think in memories, process in categories, and see constellations of relationships. Neurosparkle is my word for the experience I describe through Gestalt Processing and IT/It/it.
In my lexicon, a distal processor sees the most relevant point first. A proximal processor sees the next point in line. Neurosparkler is a self-descriptor for the distal experience; Nearlynormie names proximal processing.
The distinction concerns where processing begins. It does not establish intelligence, correctness, or a diagnosis.
My notation
GESTALT: the cosmic bonfire from my precise perspective at this exact moment.
Gestalt: the Topic, the Big Named Idea.
gestalts: the individual details and data.
IT: Identified Topic, the problem, question, or conundrum under discussion. Keep that referent until it is explicitly changed.
X: the answer or understanding. A resolved thought can close without requiring an action or fix.
I describe the processing directions as IT → It → it for distal and it → It → IT for proximal. These forms preserve meaningful capitalization.
