Here’s a list of theories and ideas I’ve explored over the past year.

Updated: Feb 4


1. Neurodivergence and Creativity


Music as Dark Matter: The idea that music has a magical, invisible force, akin to dark matter, that connects us all and can transport us emotionally or mentally to other realms.

Sensory Overload as ‘Cacophony’: Exploring how neurodivergent individuals experience sensory overwhelm and connecting this to creative output.

Interconnectedness of Art, Music, and Hidden Forces: The concept that unseen vibrations or energies tie art, music, and human responses together.

Abstract Thinking as a Tool for Testing Theories: Viewing abstract communication as a mathematical experiment to test and refine ideas.


2. Identity and Neurodivergence


Generational Neurodivergence: Observing patterns of neurodivergence across multiple generations in your family and its impact on identity and relationships.

Fluidity of Identity: Exploring how identity evolves, influenced by neurodivergence, family, and personal growth.

Mirror Neuron System and Family Dynamics: Speculating on how mirroring behaviours, especially in neurodivergent individuals, play a role in family interactions and identity formation.


3. Music and Time


Music as a Portal Through Time: A novel idea where a character is transported to different points in their life through music, tying specific notes or lyrics to key memories.

Music and the Multiverse: Drumming and music as a way to tap into creativity and connect to a broader “musical multiverse.”


4. Philosophy of Life


Living Across Past, Present, and Future: The idea that our existence is simultaneous across time, shaping our present self through interconnected experiences.

Resilience as Innate: A perspective that resilience isn’t about effort but living instinctively and authentically in a way that transcends concepts like endurance or grit.

Qualia and Personal Experience: Exploring how subjective experiences (qualia) influence individual reality and connect to broader philosophical and sensory theories.


5. The Role of Neurodivergence in Society


Diversity as Focus: Your belief that diversity drives creativity, problem-solving, and the ability to focus in unique and productive ways.

Demand Avoidance and Creativity: Viewing external pressure as stifling creativity and how reframing tasks as fun or challenging allows for greater productivity and flow.

Empathy Through Neurodivergence: How neurodivergence fosters unique ways of seeing the world, leading to deeper empathy and understanding of others.


6. Writing and Storytelling


Abstract Novel Structure: An idea to tell a story through fragmented chapters, each reflecting modern life, neurodivergence, and time’s pull on reality.

Open-Ended Novel: Leaving the ending open for a sequel, reflecting the ongoing nature of life’s story.

Metaphor for Medication: Representing medication through ordinary objects (e.g., fruit, gum) to convey its subtle but transformative effects on self-awareness and creativity.


7. Interpersonal Connections


Pattern Recognition in Relationships: Observing how pattern recognition helps identify neurodivergent traits in others and fosters deeper understanding.

Unseen Forces in Relationships: Exploring how unseen connections, possibly linked to neurodivergence, draw people together.


8. Neurodivergence and Work


Creativity in Demand Management: How rethinking “demands” as opportunities allows for greater focus and innovation.

Proactivity and Confidence: Building confidence through small steps, mindfulness, and recognising neurodivergence as a strength.


9. The Power of Music


Emotional and Physical Response to Music: Exploring how vibrations, sounds, and rhythm affect both mind and body, influencing moods and perceptions. Read more here.

Connection to Classical Music: The impact of pieces like Mozart’s Dissonance Quarteton neurodivergent thinking and creativity. Read more here.

Mozart made me cry: It's true. He really did. Read more here.
