Percy and Red: a Dialogue
Percy: Room 5 prepares us for the transition into three-dimensional Abstract Space. A big warning. Abstract linearity has two main components: writing and time. It's easy to forget the power of the latter, and very difficult to break it. Because we are conditioned to think of the past as behind us and the future ahead.
Red: Well, that's understandable.
Percy: I know. Just keep this in mind, because to break the cognitive distortion of linear time we will jump to various points in the 4D fabric of Abstract Space. And the primary tool for this plotting is the Navigational Quadrant...let's head on in and meet it.
Red: Huh...this opening appears larger...
Percy: The Navigational Quadrant is based on the old maritime instrument that triangulates bearings off celestial bodies. I've updated it for Abstract Space, where the bodies we triangulate off are Concepts/Object pairs. Take a look up on the Big Screen. See anything familiar?
Red: So...I see the Propaganda Portal up top. And I suppose the anchor represents the paired Object -- the territory of the trade infrastructure.

DEFINE CONCEPT
Hyperfocus
ADHD Torus Room 6
SOURCE deCODE
Response (ex-Rm5). Use HyperFocus to continue the dialectical inquiry into the concept ADHD.
Response. Google search for definitions of “ADHD Hyperfocus.”
Observation. First several entries are ADHD-specific or medical websites that use descriptions similar to the EU’s, often verbatim.
Observation. Definition of Hyperfocus appears consistent across space and time.
Orientation. This definition is not consistent with my indoor experience and still opposite to my outside Hyperfocus experience.
Observation. Next several entries cluster around Brandon Ashinoff (England-based research psychologist specializing in ADHD and Hyperfocus.) His 2021 paper in journal Research Psychology states there is:
“...no clear general or operational definition of hyperfocus in the literature…references to and descriptions of hyperfocus are typically anecdotal and differ from paper-to-paper.”
Conclusion. Concept of Hyperfocus is inconsistent, internally and comparatively.
Orientation. Yet my neurologist and I both consider Hyperfocus a central component of my ADHD diagnosis.
Response. Are there other concepts associated with Hyperfocus?
Observation. Ashinoff claims a strong match-up of Hyperfocus with concept of Flow.
Response. Test Concept of Flow with Ground Truth dialectic.
