I had one again. I am still in awe. I used to call them "cognitions", but that's not enough. The right word is epiphany. The protocol for reading maths is to decipher what the author is trying to say. Often mathematical ideas are simple to visualize but notoriously hard to write on paper. When you have deciphered the text the visualisation is implanted and suddenly it all makes sense. And when the idea is particularly beautiful the implant is experienced as an epiphany.
( Epiphany : An illuminating realization or discovery, often resulting in a personal feeling of elation, awe, or wonder. )
