Surface contemplation

The first line of Gate 20 brings a particular lightness to the gate's contemplative function. Where Contemplation as a whole concerns itself with thinking things through, this line operates at surface level, scanning, sampling, forming quick impressions. It's the flavour of someone who notices patterns easily and speaks about them readily through the Throat centre, but without necessarily going deep.
