It is a common experience that attempts to solve just one piece of a problem first, then others, and so on, lead to endless involutions.

You go round and round in circles, unable to produce a form that is thoroughly right.

Marilynne Robinson
common-experience matter mother

I don't think there is any scientific evidence about the question of whether we think only in language or not. But introspection indicates pretty clearly that we don't think in language necessarily. We also think in visual images, we think in terms of situations and events, and so on, and many times we can't even express in words what the content of our thinking is.

Noam Chomsky
