Very interesting post--you obviously HAVE spent a lot of time thinking about
thinking. I normally would not nit-pick about a spelling error, but in this
case, it seems to have a serious effect on your meaning. Where you write
"casual," do you mean "causal?"

(Actually, I'm just trying to prove that I read it." ;-)

I am a little hesitant to accept analyses like yours, and Dr. Phil's, which
divide complex continuous processes into numbered steps. This kind of
thinking can be helpful sometimes, but after you have the categories firmly
in mind, consider removing removing the boundaries between them.
