thinking
the process of using your mind to consider something carefully
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain thinking as a mental process, relay research on reasoning, problem solving and judgement from cognitive science sources with attribution, describe kinds of thinking, and distinguish thinking from perception, memory, intuition and the misfiled aliases.
In the WordNet sense, the process of using the mind to consider something carefully, cognition directed at a problem, question or idea, studied in psychology and philosophy as reasoning, problem solving, judgement and reflection; the registry aliases scalage, curvature, interpretation, interpreting, rendition and rendering are unrelated WordNet nouns that appear to have been attached by mistake and are not senses of thinking.
What it is for: Not applicable; a mental process.
It can be explain the process; relay research; describe kinds; distinguish related processes.
Distinguishing features
Deliberate
Higher cognition
Many kinds
Misfiled aliases
What it looks like
Not a visible object; a mental process.
Physical character
WordNet hypernym: higher cognitive process note
dual-process theory: System 1 and System 2 note - Kahneman and others
registry aliases: misfiled note
How it is recognised
Careful mental consideration
Reasoning, problem solving, judgement, reflection, critical and creative thinking
Perception senses; memory stores; intuition is fast and automatic; the misfiled aliases concern measurement, geometry and translation

- The registry aliases scalage, curvature, interpretation, interpreting, rendition and rendering are unrelated and should be detached
