Polymath Thinking and Multiplicity: Multi-channel navigation is linked to "polymath thinking," which is defined as thinking in multiplicity all at once. For example, a person might be solving a math problem in one "channel" of their brain while a song is playing in another, all while organizing a room and communicating with a family member. This simultaneous processing is "probably why" such individuals are known for being ADHD and high energy.

Multi-channel thinking:

explains behaviors often labeled as ADHD as a result of a person interacting with multiple channels of information or activity simultaneously. While some people focus on a single "present moment" or task, multi-channel thinkers navigate life by "changing the channel" between different levels of experience, such as work, community, spirituality, and personal bonding.
