Hello Jason,

This is a good article and it's a brave decision to venture into this territory as most of the science is still unclear. One thing that strikes me here is that though the definition of intuition is appropriate, the boundaries are undefined. For example, what separates a logically conceived notion from an intuition for an individual? And even if the intuition is defined by your article (and it's a really sound definition), the intuition may have well been guided (unknowingly) by logic or other observations. These boundaries are faint when you would compare across populations. For example, most of the people go with their 'gut feeling' without any analysis and that would be truly an intuition in pure sense. However, some may work around a problem in a logical manner for a long time and then extend the research or thoughts to form a notion which may explain observations. This could be intuition for some. Einstein said it was intuition that helped him graduate from Newtonian physics to relativity but that according to most of us would be highly structured and creative thinking but not exactly intuition. Given that you are working on this, I would like to know your thoughts on how you deal with these varying boundaries and definitions of intuition from person to person though the standard definition holds solid. It was a ggood article and I look forward to read more on it from you.

Regards,
Jim
