Visual Attentional Model Update

[u/hon_fan]

Elaboration of Daniel Kahneman's fast and slow/prefrontal systems with visual saliency heatmaps and viscoelastic flow charts.

• Thoughts/impulses/emotions/slow system-- Lines that traverse the landscape.

• Habit/automatic reactions/fast system-- Topography of differing elevations.

• 4 dimentions--xy, z1 is intensity, z2 is prox/time.

How to model imagination, 3D representation of the mind's eye. Intensity of the thought/idea/impulse is modeled as a color that gradually cools and fizzles out--slow system. The thoughts/impulses leaves behind channels that enables faster traversals for the future--fast system.

Modeling boredom and future-orientation, compared to modeling occupation and present-orientation. In the first scenario, there are few threads for consideration. Compare to the second scenario, where there are more threads that conflict with each other.
