Intuition

[Node to be completed]

We often use the words "intuition", "intuitively", meaning some act of our thought which cannot be decomposed into any constituting elements and, in particular, cannot be further explained or justified. This is the result of activating some non-verbal model of the world implemented in our brain. Sometimes we are very certain about what our intuition tells us; on other occasions we found ourselves in the state of doubt.
