"...The fact that
we don't ordinarily notice these features of the world around us shows that
there must be some mechanism which filters them out of conscious experience."
People on the Autistic spectrum are often fascinated or obessive about small details and often, as a result, find the world as a whole completely bewildering - if you notice every small thing, identifying whole systems would be a large task. Maybe they lack this filtering mechanism? Perhaps our underlying ability to categorise is also involved in this hypothesis?
