Motor to default mode network
There is a how to why spectrum which goes from concrete to abstract and it recruits different parts of the brain but it’s not so much a dichotomy as there’s levels of abstraction.
This is big. I’ve read some people (inattentive adhd, autism, preterm born but there’s many others) who spend a lot of time in the “default mode network” (DFN) (daydreaming, thinking about past and future and possibilities, etc) and I’m definitely one of them.
Now armed with that and a) the notion of an “salience network” bridging between default mode network and executive network (a paper from a few days ago and b) this notion of concrete (how) to abstract (why / social), I’m “almost there”. These papers use DIFFERENT notion of abstract than I’ve been and so I have to adjust so I’m not there “yet” but wow it’s almost: I think for example my learning of psychology from a young age was to compensate for being UNABLE to form a quick “Theory of Mind” and _instead” have used reasoning systems to compensate and motor systems for “SPEED” to try to IMITATE A “THEORY OF MIND” (compensation) as best I could.

and if this is so, if I can sketch it out, I may find have that bridge – one I had all along – but I’ll be able to justify a lot if so

(that is: using motor systems with the resources of the DFM to compensate for malfunctioning executive network; this would explain why speedy things can help as this is attempts to MANUALLY CONTROL what’s typically AUTOMATED by a young age.
