For most here, I ahem imagine that imaginative reasoning is something v. difficult to wrap your imaginations around. There is a beautiful metacognitive example, well worth looking at – precisely because it allows you to see imaginative reasoning in action. And that is the classic “murder scene” and photographic reconstruction in Antonioni’s movie, Blow-Up. A photographer witnesses two lovers playing around in a park – takes lots of photos of them – & then is chased away. Later on in his studio, he starts looking at the photos and blowing them up – and step by step, reconstructs that a murder took place in that park. It is all done without words. Or even logic. That is imaginative reasoning, and that is how the mind actually works to solve real world problems.
