That would mean you don't have the condition right ?

I can visualize a ball, but I only make it a tennis ball after I'm asked to do it. Similarly, my car doesn't have a color until it must. I can make the scene really robust as I build on it, but won't unless I need to. Almost like a 3D graphic renderer.

IMO, that's probably a more conceptual way of looking at it. You are able to decouple your concept of a cat from the color and tendencies, and can build it up from more basic primitives than others can.

Can you elaborate on what you see here ? Sounds really interesting.

I did more of a "scene + cat-ness everywhere (deep dream style) - cat in the particular position". So the background had cat hair all over it, and then a cat shaped grey/transparent contour jumped on top of the table.
