When someone becomes a filament of fragmentation, it reflects the fossiled thoughts from all over the mind. Self thoughts and selfless thoughts coalesce to become a fuming flux.

What is the root cause of this fragmentation?
What is the root cause of this convergence?
Where does all this happen?

Why do we produce metaphors in our mind?
Why do we try to find metaphors in various experiences?
I feel metaphoric constructions are a matter of convenience for mind.
It helps our mind to associate memories and make strong connections between them. Metaphors helps mind to streamline thoughtful objects from different geometries of association.

Illusions are quite different from the metaphors that we mentioned here. Metaphors are rooted in material objects and subjects. On the other hand, illusions are artificial constructions.

Why is our mind getting deceived by illusions?
Is it because it gets hastened meanings by its persisting associations?

Does illusions exist without the support of cognitive constructs?

Which is carrying more cognitive constructs? metaphors or illusions. It seems that the cognitive efforts are more dominant in illusions than in metaphors. Metaphors are created in polynomial and polygonal architecture whereas illusions are created as linear or sub-linear or circular architecture.
