Spacetime-Probability Cognition

The actual process of thinking in five dimensions, where every thought exists not as a single mental event but as a probability distribution across countless branches of reality. When you're trying to remember someone's name, your brain isn't just searching memory—it's scanning probability branches where you've already remembered it, branches where you never knew it, and branches where you're currently having an entirely different thought about something else. The "aha!" moment of recall is simply the synchronization of your conscious awareness with the probability branch where the answer was always available. This explains why the name often comes to you hours later, in the shower, when you've stopped trying: your consciousness finally synced with the branch where you knew it all along.
