ah ah ah ah: post-nap insight incoming haha, the alternation between what-you-focus-on and what-specifically-weird-thing-happens-next is a conversation between you and the universe. it's like playing Concentration 🎴, in the sense that clearly seeing which-focus-adjustment-you-made is followed by which-weirdness-appearance in the world, the world simplifies for you by a single factor. and you can keep doing that, but if you haven't been doing it for a while you might have a lot of face-down cards to look through (nodding back to the card game metaphor again).
> can you clarify "the world simplifies for you by a single factor" part?
lemme try: every "first x, then y" pairing is recurring. like statements about apples and oranges are generally describing apples and oranges, not a couple specifically special apples and a couple specifically special oranges that the government has frozen somewhere. when you connect "first x, then y", you get to re-use that sense-making move everywhere it applies. it's kind of like learning how addition works in math for the first time. a lot of things get simpler on the other side of learning to recognize addition. that's the world simplifying for you by a single factor - understanding addition doesn't solve everything, but it simplifies a lot of things.
[edit] although if you find out later that your initial understanding of addition was incomplete the world might get *really* weird-looking until you figure out that addition was slightly subtler than you thought it was
