It's a writer's technique somewhat similar to method actors who take on the character's persona as their own for the duration of a play or filming. It's almost like attempting to evoke in yourself a synthetic form of dissociative identity disorder to allow a "real" personality to live and grown independently of you while you interact with and guide it towards the outcome you're hoping for.

Forking your own thinking process to have a secondary personality execute in parallel sounds as close to "killing your darlings" as possible, given that personality would presumably have their own favorite expressions and tropes.
