We argue that thinking is the brain running sensory motor simulations on the same hardware used for perception, which explains why attention feels scarce and interference feels physical. We show how sight and sound align from the superior colliculus to the moving eardrum, then translate that into practical strategies for deep work.
• defining thought as sensory simulation
• superior colliculus as early integration hub
• dynamic auditory maps aligned with saccades
• timing codes for sound localization
• ventriloquist effect and visual dominance
• depth perception from echoes and precedence
• rhythm and low-frequency signals in evolution
• cognitive interference while driving and multitasking
• attractor states, flow, and attention traps
• interval training and microbreaks for deep work
• context cues to anchor focus and reduce ruts
