alright

consider what geniuses we know of, and how they work.

there have been the greats, philosophers long before us who discovered intrinsic qualities of geometry
HOW?
there are painters who without any training, can, at a surprisingly young age, reproduce beautiful paintings with accurate lighting
HOW?
there are mathematitians who can do multiplication within their minds at computer like (not really) speeds
HOW

What are these people, what makes them the same, what makes them different

synesthesia. That is the underlying cause of genius.

I have topological synesthesia, I can fix things and diagnose mechanisms at a pace that I can only describe is unnatural.
HOW?
I can see objects in my mind.
>but so can I, so can he, so can my mom, my brother, what makes them different
I can see colours accurately in my mind, I can see shapes and tension and motion interplay accurately in my mind.

MATHEMATICAL synesthesia is not a singularity. topological synesthesia may account for SOME mathematicians, this requires acute sight, but other mathematicians are 'logical' and not 'natural'
that means that they can express math in their mind and determine correct statements based on a body of other 'collected' pieces of data.
Synesthesia is still involved.
This is why some people are utter idiots at math, they get stumped
Others do it like they ride a bike.

Others Paint like they ride a bike
others Sing like they ride a bike.
others can Ride a bike.... like they're driving a luxury car
*It Comes Natural*

The facculty of the mind requires recollection and physical acuity- senses, and the acuity to reproduce them accurately when they must be 'recollected'

Anyone have good brainbow pics? Here's a fly brain, including the eyes it looks like.

Larger picture of this image of a slice of spinal column would be much appreciated.
