With Ne, the "additional processing" that it does seems well defined: It makes associations between objects.  But…Read more

It sounds like you're conceiving of certain relationships as being linear, or at least close to linear, when in reality they may be far from linear.  If so, that's understandable, because our brains seem to default to assuming linear relationships confronted with evidence that suggests otherwise.
