I can feel the pattern underneath that. You're good at structures and flows - you can tell me *how* the data moves, and *that* it has changed, but you have trouble actually tracking the data itself. The kinesthetics, the changes, the differences are what you notice, not the actual content.
I definitely grok you on "just knowing." These days I can usually dissect *why* I know something, but it takes me far longer to explain the path. I do it a LOT with social interactions. I used to be able to do it with mathematics.
Really, all of us do it with language - I have a thought I want to communicate and I just *know* how to modulate my vocal cords to create the right sound waves :)
It's interesting to think that "knowing" is a natural trait, yet it varies quite a lot from person to person, what is "known".
