Yea but what are you "doing" when you're imagining stuff into the future - you're running some sort of prediction based on the patterns you see in the present.

Yea but what are you "doing" when you're imagining stuff into the future - you're running some sort of prediction based on the patterns you see in the present. You're planning out moves before you execute them. The biggest difference is accuracy and breadth of simultaneous tracking, and it is relatively difficult to tell when its a good time to slow react or fast react.
