I had a dream in which I was thrilled to discover a word that means: "a strong felt sense shift when you encounter a juicy metaphor that seems to accurately represent something important about the hidden structure of reality." Can I remember that word? Of course not.

Also in another part of this dream I was hanging out with @matthewbarram for some reason.

@m_ashcroft thinking about this again... it’s the “ahh” satisfaction when the model clicks into place and there’s resonance. when you get the right resolution, experience clarity...

@m_ashcroft seems unlikely to be a single word, since it’s two things- it’s a feeling upon an event. the event is something like comprehension, the feeling is something like relief or satisfaction https://t.co/hvjvSmtZlR
