> My brain works more like a mental mosaic. And all the pieces seem to "light up" all the surrouding pieces, too. Maybe even a mental "word find" game...all the letters can make lots of words, but I have to find the right word/concept for the moment.

Sounds like a neural network to me...
The 'lighting up' are the exitatory connections... 'Sparrow' makes you think 'bird' 'flies' 'feathers' etc etc...

> Good for creativity. Makes logic hard. Intuition rules for me. But it makes it really hard to 'splain my thinking to others. Funny, I expect them to take what I say on faith at times, if I can't communicate the parts of the big picture adequately. But me take someone else's statement on blind faith? No way!

> The other good part is I can get hours of entertainment following my associations. :D

:-)
The other side to that is inhibitory connections.
So when you think something like P is true then you are supposed to be able to inhibit P is false for the rest of the puzzle..

I think I get what you mean, though.
Logic comes hard for people.
We are a connectionist system on the neural level(a neural net).
(That is opposed to how a computer works where it just follows rules)
We can follow rules, but they come harder...
