‘Imagination’ is another form of cognition that arises when thoughts hit a wall.
It is a cognitive thirst caused by a lack of situations that are common or universal.
Imagination does not discuss possibility or impossibility. It merely recognizes that a flow can continue.
Once we humans know something, imagination ceases to function.
Imagination becomes possible precisely because we do not know. Yet, this “not knowing” is different from what we usually refer to as ignorance.
The general “not knowing” we speak of is a form of unknowing without direction—a state where cognition simply does not register.
However, the “not knowing” within imagination possesses a distinct direction. It is merely a matter of not knowing which path to take.
Thus, imagination creates stories, and those stories bring about change.
Imagination is a dynamic cognitive mechanism within human perception, operating independently of learning or ability.
