exactly. Gp, I meant reasoning in the automatic sense, like how you reason about where a ball will land from afar as you go to catch it.

This is like wondering if we calculate parabolas consciously before catching a tossed ball. We had to learn its behavior without knowing the physics, but it becomes unconscious soon. If tossed balls behaved like they do in cartoons, we'd learn to predict them even if they violated the laws of physics.

I still wonder how we practiced finding things by distinguishing the fluidity of a medium around them. Maybe playing in water?
