An interesting concept I haven't seen mentioned on LW before: deconcentration of attention.
“Deconcentration of attention is opposite to concentration and can be interpreted as a process of dismantling of the figures in the field of perception and transformation of the perceptual field into a uniform (in the sense that no individual elements could be construed as a perceptual figure) background.”
Seems slightly pseudosciencey, but perhaps valuable.
This is a game I like to play with myself actually. I sit and observe my surroundings, consciously removing labels from the objects in my visual field until it's clear that everything is one big continuity of atoms. It's fun and brings back for me that childlike feeling of seeing thing for the first time again. I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it and it's much harder when in a man-made environment (where everything is an object) than in nature.
But I've never had a word for it before, so thanks.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
