The book explores the relationship between perception, conception, and cognitive efficiency, highlighting how each mental process incurs a degree of waste or change in the brain. It discusses the implications of this cognitive waste on subsequent mental activities, suggesting that temporary diminishment in mental faculties affects ongoing perception and conception. By examining these dynamics, the author aims to uncover underlying causes of compositional effects in thought and creativity.
