When I get an idea from something, it feels like sometimes an abstract, inexplicable intuition leads to a concrete visualization (and a chain of logic), and sometimes it's the visualization and the logic that leads to the intuition. **So, does visualization form intuitions, or do intuitions lead to visualization, and which is better?** It seems to me this is related to "tenor and vehicle." I'm thinking here of poetry, but not only of poetry. > Tenor and vehicle [are] the components of a metaphor, with the tenor referring to the concept, object, or person meant, and the vehicle being the image that carries the weight of the comparison. > > [https://www.britannica.com/art/tenor-literature](https://www.britannica.com/art/tenor-literature)
