M.Minsky, "The Emotion Machine" p.241

Thus, suppose that a typical moment of commonsense thinking begins with a brief "micro-manic" phase that produces a few ideas; one could then quickly look for flaws in these, during a short-lived "micro-depressive" phase. If all this take place so quickly that your reflective systems don't notice it, then each "micro-cycle" would seem to be no more than a typical moment of everyday thinking - and the entire process of thinking might seem to go in a steady, smooth, uneventful flow.
