sounds familiar
tho i have used "factory" vs washing-machine (the washing-machine i could possibly understand is "stream,converging river")
[factory because] for the items are smaller and more precise, i refer to the objects in that factory as cubes (or objects), as they are most often cues but may also be other shapes (sphere,pyramid),

static-vortex of compartmentalized objects seem to appear much faster (if-not begun at - re:ideas already there) , already settled blackness with items inside (they are often relocated to "workspace")
and then the items are moved/set into motion, having certain ways (opportunities) of moving only (anchors)
objects are highlighted and cannot be strung-along unless fixed together (action), building a device/shape,
a single object with no other connections is most fascinating as it operate more like an ever folding/opening (inward) rubix
connected ones do not do this because i do not zoom into them (already have)

this sorta re to @safsom ,who is not mentioned in this topic so far: remembering: Se and asshole-level cut/dry distinctions between objects/concepts, if u are still working on that theory

as for connected devices...this means when "the tablecloth is pulled" (dump a concept) all may be disposed neatly (they can also be worked on "in the void" separately), even very large ones - new,old,doesnt matter
i encourage this way of processing because it is very fast and u can trash all the ways through stuff that don't matter or doesn't-work, stripping it,and therefore tunnelling to/through the fastest point (most obvious point).
other helps:
. a tree is seen with no branches
. xray,lenses
. legos,which are different from pin/tacs+string (instead: cubes have rigid connectors/pipes which cannot deviate in tension/length)

"ideas already there" might be why its possible to "explain something to anybody [lvl]" (they have "ideas already there" too)

this post will make more sense referencing my previous posts discussing (primarily my own) experiences of [own] mind where i have gone more into detail/visual on how i think it works
