Our brain processes at different levels ranging
from processing basic sensory stimuli all the way
to higher levels of thinking. Specifically, these
levels include sensation, perception, knowledge,
understanding, thinking, thought, ideation,
intuition, and enlightenment. Within these levels
of processing thought is more than thinking where
we "move around" bits of knowledge to make sense
of things. In thought we are generating "new" bits
of knowledge as a process.

Thought is a form which falls within a conceptual
construct so that we can processes it as
information or knowledge. The form we relate to in
our cognitive processing is a more concrete
representation of thought itself. This is similar
to how we make a more abstract representation of
our sensation of the physical world around us,
only inverse. As above, so below.
