Idle or active mind?
Gina Trapani at Smarterware tells us of a disovery reported, among the others, by The New York Times, where we are told that minds when are wandering, this helps problem solving (full article at http://smarterware.org/2441/daydreaming-is-problem-solving, original article at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124535297048828601-email.html#articleTabs%3Darticle).
The preface is that what follows is only speculation and brainstorming, because I have no scientfic basis to say this nor I have similar skills.
I think is a way mind uses to use spare or costless resources for creating a sort of “cache” that permits faster renderings of real thoughts.
Sometimes when you start wandering is very similar to engaging autopilot. It seems that mind is taking control of your thoughts and start making (il)logical links, where some times is difficult to reconstruct th efull path used to get there.
I think when this happens is a sort of trigger hit by thoughts that starts this process, and by doing this, connections arre stimulated. and this solutioning helps solving problems faster because some (or all nodes) of the possible solution have been explored before.
