I'm not saying that it might not be true, that it might not actually "fit in"...only exploring what follows from the statement.
Quote:So in that case one explanation could be that there is still 'settling' going on, just more subtly and out of conscious awareness... so though it feels like you're doing/thinking nothing when you're being idle, there may still be plenty going on below the surface.Well, that isn't even a "what if" or "may be", you're not consciously aware of the process behind your heart beating or lungs breathing either. Hell, we don't seem to be consciously aware of -any- process involved in how we think about things, automatic this and thats aside ( even assuming that anything isn't). You can't tell me where in your mind any thought is happening even if an mri might be able to.
