My personal assumption was, that walking, always was hunting for us as a species. So to hunt for great ideas, one must connect the whole experience to what we did once to track down animals. Look at the ground, when thinking about facts, chains of evidence, the origin of your problems. Walk known routes, when traversing well known approaches, take unknown routes, go off-road, when you are stuck with the usual ways. Move your body, like you want your mind to move, but most important, do not self-observe while you do it. Forget about yourself, think only about the pray and the hunt. It may just be superstitious. But it is how my subconscious tries to explain away my endless pacing. Horrido.
